After the tie against the Seville in the Sánchez Pizjuán, the FC Barcelona can not allow another trip. The Athletic Club, however, does not go to put it easy

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The past week, did not go precisely fruitful for the FC Barcelona. The group of Quique Setién made a bad party against the Seville, only could carry a point of Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán and, for satisfy, the Real Madrid himself won his party to base of played controversial and doubtful referee's decisions. Now, the whites are level on points with the culés, but leaders by the 'goal average' individual.

After the tie in Andalusian earths, Gerard Hammered already predicted that this League would be very complicated to win, so much because the ones of Zinedine Zidane go like a shot as because it seems that the referees have a clear tendency in case of doubt. It is thus that to the FC Barcelona only remains him not failing in his parties and expect a miracle: that the Real Madrid himself do it with a much more favourable calendar.

The first escollo of the culés after losing the leadership will be the Athletic Club of Bilbao, an intense and dangerous team. The party will take place to the 22 hours of this Tuesday in the Camp Nou and does not do fault neither say that the Barcelona will not have margin of error. Only voucher win and, for this, it will be necessary to improve a lot of things with regard to the seen so much against the Leganés as against the Seville.

The Barça will have to learn to generate more occasions of danger and to not remaining so exposed in defence as it was it in the Sánchez Pizjuán. Lacking mobility, is missing tarpaulin, is missing dynamism and, in definite, fault that no only Leo Messi generate fear in the rivals. It is thus that the Barça 'valverdizado' of Setién has to begin to tighten the accelerator, because the title goes in spite of the opportunities that has given the Madrid along the season.

The incógnitas of the eleven of Setién

The FC Barcelona presents to the party with three sensitive drops in the announcement: the one of Sergi Roberto by fault of a fissure costal; the one of Ousmane Dembélé, immersed in the process of recovery that carries out since they operated him the proximal sinew the past month of February; and the last of Frenkie of Jong, lesionado of the sóleo. Quique Setién has carried the 16 available players in the first team, in addition to other seven youngsters of the filial.

The injury of Sergi Roberto will give free road to Nélson Semedo so that it was headline in the right side, after being one of the best against the Seville. In the centre of the field, there is a lot of more incógnitas to know who will accompany to Sergio Busquets in the medullary: Arthur Melo and Arturo Vidal split with advantage, but Ivan Rakitic and Riqui Puig could go in in the eleven headline.

Like this the things, expects that Quique Setién go out of start with Marc-André ter Stegen in the goal; a defence formed by Semedo, Clément Lenglet, Gerard Hammered and Jordi Alba; a centre of the field with Sergio Busquets, Arthur and Arturo Vidal; and a forward with Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Antoine Griezmann. It would not be descartable that could go in in the forward Ansu Fati, that did not play neither a minute in Seville.

The Athletic, an escollo hard

The Athletic Club is one of the hardest rivals to which the FC Barcelona will have to confront in this League. Gaizka Garitano Will have two important drops for the party: Beñat, with one Overloads in the hip, and Ibai Gómez, with annoyances in the sinew rotuliano. Nevertheless, the culés will not have to erder of sight to players very in shape like Villalibre or Iñaki Williams.

In previous statements to the party, the technician of the team rojiblanco explained that "when I have gone of footballer and of trainer always have had more the feeling that in the Bernabéu can have some option more than in the Camp Nou, because the Barça has more the balloon....But well, the Real Madrid also takes out the parties of house. We go with the total intention to do a good party".

Finally, Garitano answered on the last controversies by the VAR. "It is the salsilla of the football and of what more speaks . Here I do not go in a lot. It is more try analyse well the party and forget me a bit of all this. Between the Real Madrid and the Barcelona always have rivalry and if it is not the referees will be another thing. It is necessary abstraerse of this", said. It was as it was, the aim of the Athletic is Europe and do not go to put the at all easy things.
