THE POSSIBLE XI, CLEARER
Xavi 'clears' Barça's doubts before the Classic
FC Barcelona still has a lot to 'resolve' before the Clásico match against Real Madrid, but there is already a clearer idea about Xavi Hernández's possible commitment to the Clásico match
The FC Barcelona expects patiently to his possible 'signings' for the dispute of the Classical against the Real Madrid, this Saturday from the 16:15 hours (4:15 PM CEST), but already has a much clearer idea of face to the clash. The victory in front of the Shakhtar that keeps the plenary of triumphs of the blaugrana in the Champions League has left several clear points regarding which could be the bet of Xavi Hernández to receive to the White House in Montjuïc, in a party in which it is not allowed to fail.
It is very true that the trainer egarense will keep his unseen letters to the end and that, in fact, exists the possibility that the announcement no desvele until the same day of the crash, slopes of Raphinha or Robert Lewandowski, but already with his decisions in front of the Ukrainian group has intuído which can be the idea of Xavi. It does not have a lot of alternatives to make his alignment, but yes spare solutions.
Clear idea for the defence of the Barça
The suplencias of Andreas Christensen and Alejandro Balde has been a clear proof that the two are called to be headlines against the White House. The Danish had played against the Athletic and was replaced in the second half, whereas against the Ukrainians was the opposite case. The intention is that it can arrive to 100% for the crash and that it can be the reference in the axis of the defensive saga, waiting for knowing to his mate. In paper, will be Ronald Araújo, but no descarta that it can finish displaced to the right side to cover to Vinicius Jr.
With Balde already was the much clearer plan and is evident that will be to title in front of the Real Madrid. It came of some annoyances in the aductor and played against the bilbaínos, but suffered a hit that forced him to be substituted. To give him rest, was acting in Champions League and ingresó in the second half to take rhythm and give him another 'felt' to the Barcelona left band, that until this moment was being occupied by Marcos Alonso. The canterano is one of the indispensable players for Xavi and in a party of maximum category, as it is it the Classical, can be decisive. The defence, in any case, seems to be very clear. I cancel and Balde by the sides, with Araújo and Christensen like couple of head offices.
In research of a midfield player and forward
In the centre of the field yes there will be an important doubt: The presence or no of Oriol Romeu. It has added several parties in which it has been far of his best version and every time is more argued in the Barça. It played the ninety minutes against the Ukrainians and there is not security that it can be headline against the Madrid, especially by the speed, physicist and power of the players of the Madrid, that could win him the back easily (as it already has happened in his úlltimas presentations). This leaves to Ílkay Gündogan and Gavi like the only fixed for the medullary and opens cásting for the last place. It will be for the one of Ulldecona or Fermín that has done spare merits.
Waiting for what can happen with Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, in the forward seems 'safe' that there will be a trident. Joao Félix and Ferran Torres are called to be headlines in the clash, without place to doubts, and will remain in discussion the last place. In case that it recover to time, will be the Pole the one who ejerzca of '9'. If no, the one of Foios will assume this position and will leave the right extreme for Lamine Yamal. To the Brazilian could him see like a revulsivo for the second half, but everything will depend on the feelings of the two players in these two days.
