The FC Barcelona takes action, finally. After a stop of selections very 'moved' and with a very strong hit by the injury of Gavi, the ones of Xavi Hernández return to the film with the visit to the Ray Vallecano, this Saturday from the 14:00 hours (2:00 PM CET) in the corresponding party to the fourteenth day of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024. The aim is to add the three points.

The party is marked by the bad series that has kept the Barça against the picture madileño since it rose to First Division in 2021. In his first season, the 2021/2022 were two defeats: 1-0, in Vallecas, in the party that supposed the dismissal of Ronald Koeman like trainer culé, whereas in the Camp Nou queó 0-1, this time with the egarense in the bench. In the past campaign, added a tie home (0-0) and defeat to domicile (2-1). Of four clashes, are two three defeats and a tie.

The precedents are not positive and invite to the Catalans to step forward in the party of this Saturday. It is worth it to remember that, before the stop, went many the doubts that left the team regarding his game. They won very 'just' against the Real Sociedad (0-1) and Sportive Alavés (2-1), in addition to the defeats against the Real Madrid and Shakhtar. It is the moment to react and recover the senda of the victory convincing to his fans.

The quebraderos of head of the Barça

It will be a party with important drops. The main and surprising has been the one of Marc-André ter Stegen, the one who has remained out of the announcement by the annoyances in the back that comes dragging from does more than a week. It was low in the two parties with Germany, in front of Turkey and Austria, whereas during this week could not train. It is in full process of rehabilitation and the rest is key, by what still is doubt to receive to the Port wine the Tuesday.

The drop known is the one of Gavi, the one who has said goodbye to the season 2023/2024 after suffering a complete break of the ligament crossed previous of the right knee and an injury associated to the external meniscus in a party between Spain and Cyprus. The player will have to go through the operating theatre, probably on 28 November, and could be out of action between eight and ten months, although all the details will know after it was taken part quirúrgicamente.

The Barça does not trust Vallecas

In addition to the drops, that will have effect, the Barça can not trust by his precedents against the Ray. In press conference, Xavi Hernández recognised that "I think that the drop of Álvaro is important for them. It gives them a lot of depth, but can play Baby, Of Fruits... It costs us because they are intense and is an uncomfortable field. They dominate the balloon and puts them soul. And I think that Francisco transmits them this. It is a really difficult exit".

Also it referred on if the criticisms affect to the team, as it had recognised before the stop: "I Said what thought. In the rest of the day of the Alavés darse that there are players that have a lot of external influence. Like trainer tried to free them and said them that for this was I. In any moment put it like excuse for the level of game of the team. That it remain very clear. We play badly by ours fault. That affect the criticisms? Definitely".
