The Txingurri opted by a team formed by the big majority of the heavy weights in an eleven in which the only surprise stood out was the presence of Philippe Coutinho in the bench culé.
The rest of the team was practically the expected. Marc-André ter Stegen, of the same way that already did in the Supercopa of Spain, occupied the Barcelona goal. By in front of the German, a change with regard to the party of the Seville: Samuel Umtiti relieved to his compatriot Clément Lenglet. The rest, the expected: Jordi Alba, Gerard Hammered and Nelson Semedo.
In the centre of the field, the titularity of the Portuguese side and the 'banquillazo' of Coutinho gave the opportunity to Sergi Roberto to exert like midfield player, the place in which it grew in the Masia and in which it debuted with Pep Guardiola in the bench. His companions in the medullary did not surprise: Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets.
In the forward, the titularity of Ousmane Dembélé can not consider surprise, but like something natural. The French extreme was the best in the party of Supercopa of Spain in front of the Seville and gave the victory with a golazo spectacular. Therefore, it will accompany to Leo Messi and to Luis Suárez in the leading culé.
The signings of the Barça need adaptation
In spite of that during the parties of pre-season Ernesto Valverde have given a lot of leadership to the signings, in front of the Sportive Alavés all remained out of the eleven initial. Something that does not mean that the Txingurri do not have they, but they need time of adaptation to comprise the gears of the team.
In the first serious test of the season, the duel of Supercopa of Spain in front of the Seville, Clément Lenglet and Arthur Melo, that were headlines, aimed way, but showed that still it is missing them understand some mechanisms of the team. Arturo Vidal, the another debutante, hardly had time. Together with Malcom, expects that all are important in the campaign 2018-19.
