Without Lewandowski! Xavi works on Barça's 'new' attack

Robert Lewandowski has been the most important footballer of the FC Barcelona this season. The forward has surpassed the 1.500 minutes, adding like this 84% of the timepo that has been available, adding 21 goals and seven assistances between League and Champions League. This importance is the one who Xavi Hernández will have to substitute in the next two split suspender belts, afterwards that Competition confirmed the suspension of the forward by his double yellow in front of the Osasuna.

His sanction by the expulsion in The Sadar is of three parties, but when having Supercopa of Spain will be in the next two meetings suspender belts that the Pole will remain in the terracing. In front of this situation the technician has had several weeks to look for the best possible solution to confront to the Espanyol before closing the year 2022.

The trainer will have scheduled several alternatives in his office, although it will not be able to have the staff to the complete until, at least, on 26 December. Jules Koundé and Dembélé expects them by these dates taking into account that the two French footballers will remain at least in Qatar until the 18. Thinking in the absence of Lewandowski, the extreme Frenchman would be a headline indiscutido in the party in front of the Espanyol the 31/12, but will arrive with little rest and perhaps Xavi think in him like acting that day. After a World-wide very intense for France and after desconectar more than a week the player of the Barça would complete three or four trainings.

The alternatives of the trainer

In front of this Raphinha part with big advantage to be headline in the right band, accompanying surely to two Spanish footballers for this party. Ansu Fati And Ferran Torres will arrive to the derbi with sufficient rest and works with the first team culé as to do charge of the attack of Xavi. The '10' Barcelona has been the one who less minutes have had in the World-wide of the three and would be the main candidate to play by the centre of the attack.

The another option more logical would be Memphis Depay. The Dutch has played very little with Xavi this season, but with Low Countries has showed that is totally recovered and already with rhythm futbolístico. The forward decided to be still in the Barça the past summer although the míster communicated him that it would explain little with him and this can be the hour to take a step forward.
