Xavi will have to lidiar with this problem of face to the derbi

Xavi Hernández will do his official debut in the bench of the FC Barcelona the next 20 November in front of the RCD Espanyol in the Camp Nou, but with a lot of incógnitas especially in the front of attack. The injuries have cebado in the avant-garde barcelonista and the egarense explains only with three born forwards available of the first team, although it handles other options to be faithful to his system of game.

In his first commitment like new technician culé, Xavi will bet by the tactical drawing that so good results has given him in the To the-Sadd of Doha: the 4-3-3. A priori, the squares will have to be delivered between Memphis Depay and Yusuf Demir in the extremes and for Luuk of Jong in the axis. However, the Dutch does not possess the profile of ariete that wishes the egarense, that of exit aims more to revulsivo that to title.

Another option that Xavi could consider is the one to fix to Memphis in the centre of the attack and open the field, as it likes him, with two fast extremes and deep so much in the preparation of the game as in giving continuity to the same. Demir Could be one of them, although without descartar to other players that have evolved recently in this demarcation, so much with Ronald Koeman as with Sergi Barjuan, case of Gavi or Dest, whose last apparitions have been like extreme by right band.

Meanwhile, from the first training, Xavi has had players of the quarry, standing out in this position Jutglà, Abde and Ilias Akhomach, that also could have his opportunity. Of the three, only Abde already knows what is to debut with the first team. Sergi Barjuan offered him the chance in his last party in the bench, the past 6 November against the Celtic in Balaídos (3-3).

Incógnita

The big incógnita roots in the option that will take Xavi: it will bet by players 'reconverted' of the first team or by specialists of the filial? Indistinctly of the decision that take, the technician will be coherent and brave with his form to understand the football to pursue the aim that already announced in his presentation: "in the Barça only serves the victory". "We think that the best form to win is playing well. We want to play a cheerful football, to the attack, without especular, opening the field, dominating the game of possession and look for the spaces", added.

Xavi expects to recover until seven footballers for the derbi, although any of them of the attacker line. Yes it will be able to have Net, Dest, Eric, Hammered, Nico, Pedri and Sergi Roberto, although still no with what follows in the infirmary: Dembélé, Ansu Fati, Agüero and Braithwaite. The first that it could recover of them, although with reservations, would be the French forward that is of drop from 4 November because of an elongación in the muscle semimembranoso of the left leg.
