The doubts of Valverde in the eleven of the Barça for the 'final' of LaLiga against the Athletic

After several months of dispute, LaLiga could close or open after a meeting between FC Barcelona and Athletic of Madrid in the Camp Nou. If there is tie or local victory, the eight or 11 points of advantage antojan like too many for a traced back with hardly 21 more at stake, but if there is triumph visitor, the title will be hotter that never because five already seems an income something more scarce.

Both applicants will treat to play his best letters to win, and the true is that they do not have it easy. So much Ernesto Valverde like the Cholo Simeone have found with several setbacks on the way to the key clash, since in this 'final' also go to go in at stake bajones physical and anímicos, injuries and sanctions that will have to handle in his repectivos changing rooms.

In this sense, the Txingurri has several doubts in the configuration of his eleven initial, that go from the bet by the system until some elections to individual level. The extremeño has showed that knows to handle well in this type of commitments, but so that his give an expected step at the front will touch to support them with a strategy bomb-proof.

Until eight footballers culés have practically ensured a place, and the list could expand to nine. It results difficult to think in a Barça without ter Ter Stegen in the goal; Jordi Alba, Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet in defence; Sergio Busquets and Ivan Rakitic in the medullary; and Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the forward; in addition to a Nélson Semedo that it could occupy the right-handed lane of the saga. The rest will be low analysis in the next days, trusting that the decisions are the most hit.

The three doubts of Valverde in the alignment of the Barça

The training

For a demanding party to physical level and with a fight of maximum level in the centre of the field, could go back the 4-4-2, that already gave big results in the turn of eighth of Champions in front of the Olympique of Lyon and in Benito Villamarín in front of the Real Betis. This system gives more freedom to Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, and armours the medullary against an Athletic that has the obligation to go out to bite. His good operation will depend, this yes, of individual questions, since it was in this training or in a 4-3-3, it will be necessary to move very well to impose to one of the best teams of the world.

Philippe Coutinho

The carioca does not finish to find his best version, but could have an opportunity in a system that gives him well. In a 4-4-2 initiated his adventure in the Barça does some months, although the last time, against the verdiblancos, went one of the big sacrificed. The eleven could complete with Arthur and Sergi Roberto in the line of means and even with Malcom, that could act like interior or left extreme and is asking to cries more minutes.

Arthur or Sergi Roberto?

Until it does some weeks, Arthur seemed indispensable in this type of duels, but his performance has gone down and has opened the door to changes. The one of Goiania possesses a capacity to manage the balloon that seems key for desactivar the contras of the rojiblancos, but it is necessary to take into account, also, that suffers more in front of rivals that close . This could give foot to sacrifice him to have other footballers with more ease to break lines, like the mentioned Sergi Roberto, Coutinho or Malcom with profiles very distinct. This, as long as there is not surprise and the one who find the gap was Carles Aleñá.
