This Sunday, starting at 7:30 p.m., FC Barcelona will experience its first -official- game of the season at Montjuïc with the need to add its first victory of the season. They will look for him with two sensitive casualties and without having Xavi Hernández on the bench

After the agridulce tie without goals against the Getafe, the FC Barcelona will look for to add his first triumph of the season in the visit of the Cádiz CF, this Sunday from the 19:30 hours (7:30 PM CEST). The ones of Xavi Hernández split with the obligation to win and leave better feelings of which achieved in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez. They will try it in a party conditioned by the drops of Ronald Araújo or Raphinha, in addition to the absence of the trainer egarense, the one who was expelled in the debut suspender belt.

Although the party in Madrid was 'conditioned' by the referee's performance, the true is that the Barça did not show his best version. Xavi still has to find the formula that the team play 'for' his more creative players; Ílkay Gündogan and, especially, Pedri González. For the moment, although they have left 'details', have not marked the difference as it expected . In front of the Getafe were very desconectado and will be vital that carry to the team to the shoulders to be able to see, finally, the best version of the team.

In front of the Cádiz, a team that knows very very what is to hide backwards and deny him options to the rival, the blaugrana will have to improve his offensive provision and involve more to Robert Lewandowski that is not living a so optimistic summer. Against the Getafe controlled it very well and, except concrete apparitions, finished happening unobserved. The Barça needs his goals and that generate danger, especially because it will not be a Raphinha that had been the only able of desestabilizar to the rival defence and propose something different on the lawn.

Victoria for scalar positions in LaLiga

The blaugrana have an only point in the classification and will have to add of to three as soon as possible for scalar positions and add to the fight by the leadership, especially in front of the good start of course of a Real Madrid that has signed two victories followed and that already has to Jude Belligham (3) like Pichichi of the tournament. The Barça, although still lacking a lot of season, can not yield more terrain.

This will cause that Xavi, that will not be in the benches in the next two parties, see forced to put all the meat in the asador to sign the more competitive and positive party possible. Will have the hard absence of Ronald Araújo, the one who suffered an injury in the biceps femoral of the left leg the past Thursday in a training. It will see forced, probably, to position in the right side to Jules Koundé and configure a new couple of head offices, with Christensen and Eric García.

Besides, in the attack will have the sensitive drop of Raphinha, the one who has been called to be the ideal relief of Dembélé. The forecast is that it was Ez Abde the one who fill his gap, but there are a lot of doubts regarding the decision that can take Xavi. Other options are Ansu Fati, Ferran Torres or the youngster Lamine Yamal. They will have options from the bench for dinamizar the attack.

Xavi does not trust of the Cádiz

In press conference, Xavi gave the keys for his team in the visit of the gaditanos: "we will go with the intention to generate spaces inside. Superiorities by out also. One against one. It does not go to change at all. They defend very well. Have one against important and are difficult to unemployed balloon. They take out benefit of the kickoffs of band. With the Cádiz has cost us a lot lately. It goes us to cost". It is not a simple team and that it can be an authentic quebradero of head like visitor.
