Gerardo Martino never has used the formula of the "four bajitos" against the Athletic, but the good results of said strategy in the last key appointments could finish for convincing him. Busquets would form beside Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and Cesc Fábregas the perfect rhombus
As it remembers "MD", Gerardo Martino never has ranged to the "four bajitos" against the Athletic of Madrid, something that however yes has done in the others transcendental parties of the season, as in the eliminatory in front of the Manchester City and the two parties of League against the Real Madrid. In front of the rojiblancos always has opted by a 4-3-3 with two very open extremes (usually Neymar and Alexis Sánchez), what has translated in parties very equalised and little superiority in the centre of the field.
This time, the "Tata" could opt for ranging to the "jugones" so that these form, together with Busquets, Neymar, Alves and the rest of the eleven, an authentic "magic rhombus" that can monopolise the balloon until calming little by little the intensity of the rojiblancos with mobility of the spherical and control of the possession. For the moment the formula has gone out well against Manchester City and Real Madrid, as well as in other days of League and in the eliminatory of Glass of the King against the Real Sociedad.
The Athletic of Simeone has him very taken the measure to the Barça in the offensive appearance when Martino uses the classical 4-3-3, but the situation could change substantially this Tuesday in Champions League. The gastroenteritis suffered by Pedro Rodríguez, besides, could facilitate the incursion of Cesc Fábregas in the centre of the field, that would displace to Iniesta to the left band and to Neymar to the right, rotando all the players continuously in the positions of attack. Dynamism, mobility and freshness will be the factors that will look for to break the wall "colchonero". It will be able to the Barça derrumbarlo this time?
