FC Barcelona will make its last effort before the national team break with its visit to El Sadar, this Sunday from 9:00 p.m. Xavi Hernández's men are "plugged in" and want to stay among the top positions in LaLiga

The FC Barcelona does not want speculations in this beginning of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024. After a shy debut in the field of the Getafe, the ones of Xavi Hernández want to follow to cruising speed to add the one who would be his tercerca victory followed this Sunday with the visit to the Osasuna, from the 21:00 hours (9:00 PM CEST), in The Sadar. They come to suffer, more than the account, in front of the Cádiz (2-0) and Villarreal (3-4), and the aim is to find the regularity and tranquility that so much has been missing him to the team. In front, will have to a rival very 'touched' after not to classify to the Conference League.

The Barcelona know that they have to improve the feelings and provision in the field, especially in front of an Osasuna that although it will be hurt by the European elimination, is a team that always grows in his house and that does not give grantings to the rivals. Jagoba Arrasate Has one of the firmest projects and worked in Spain that already cuela in finals (the one of the Glass of the King 2023) and that supposes a difficult rock to surpass for the 'big'. Already the Barça suffered it more than the account in the two parties of the past season (1-2, in Pamplona and 1-0 in the Spotify Camp Nou).

Thus, the trainer egarense will see in the obligation to propose the party more 'intelligent' possible and that allow to explode the best characteristic of his staff, especially from the centre of the field to the attack. Although the team already has showed that it does not be missing him goal, because they come to annotate four in a same afternoon, sí that it costs him generate superiorities from the medullary. They have taken advantage of , without place to doubts, of the state of grace of Lamine Yamal or the tarpaulins of Ferran Torres that calls to the door of the titularity.

The key for the Barça

The work of the midfield players will go back to be the key, especially in front of an Osasuna that no 'hide' and that goes out to litigate all and each one of his parties. Frenkie Of Jong is being the angular piece of the Barça and the MVP in this start of season, but yes that it is necessary to demand him a step more to Oriol Romeu, Gündogan and, in this case, Gavi. Besides, after premièring like goleador will be fundamental that Robert Lewandowski recover his best version, was more participatory and, especially, decisive of face to the rival goal. His team needs him.

Besides, it is necessary to take in account that there will be 'dispute' to know who will accompany him in the attack. By meritocracia, would be between Lamine Yamal or Ferran Torres, the most decisive in front of the Villarreal, but also will be a Raphinha that has returned of his sanction (saw the red cardboard in front of the Getafe) and, in paper, is the leading second title for Xavi. Any one of the options, are players that are qualified to mark the difference with very little.

Novelties in the staff of the Barça

On the other hand, for this party have gone in in the announcement three new players: Iñigo Martínez, Joao Cancel and Joao Félix. The first has received, finally, the high medical and was inscribed to fault of ten minutes for the end of the market of signings, whereas the two Portuguese have arrived yielded this summer. It is unlikely that any was headline or play more than ten or fifteen minutes, but without place to doubts will be important in this year. The confidence in the three is absolute and will go adding regularity in the weeks to come.

Of the same way, keep the drops of Ronald Araújo and Pedri González, those who are in process of recovery after his respective injuries. To the Uruguayan, in theory, are missing him two weeks more in the infirmary, whereas to the Tenerifean three. From the club resist to put terms to the recovery of both and will be the feelings those that determine when will be back to the terrain of game.
