The previous of the party: FC Barcelona vs Betis (League J1)

It goes back the League, goes back the champion. The FC Barcelona will première this Saturday 20 August, to the 18.15 hours (Spanish hour), in the Camp Nou against a Real Betis that has renewed with some new incorporations this summer, keeping the block and adding to the group the sabiduría of Gustavo Poyet, a technician that arrives with win to do something big in the sanctuary blaugrana, as it left clear in the press conference kept from the sportive installations of the Real Betis in the last hours. With Rubén Castro, Joaquín and Dani Ceballos like main references, the verdiblancos will try to surprise to a Barça that, in spite of the drops, has improved notably the staff in the last months.

And it is that Luis Enrique will have to lidiar with the absences of several players stood out. Neymar Jr, Rafinha, Ter Stegen Iniesta, Mathieu, Mascherano and André Gomes will not be presents against the Betis, all they by injury to exception of the Brazilians, that are contesting the Olympic games, and of the Portuguese, that involves a sanction by accumulation of yellow of the past season with Valencia. In case this was not sufficient, Marlon Santos, young head office of the Barça B that left very good feelings in the pre-season, neither will be available for Luis Enrique by bureaucratic problems, what reduces the possibilities in the defensive saga.

Samuel Umtiti and Gerard Hammered will be forzosamente the central headlines, whereas in the rest of positions will keep also a high level, with the main inducement of the new -and surely last- titularity of Claudio Bravo in the Camp Nou, since has all the ballots to leave to the Manchester City next week. It will be an afternoon of ovations for the Chilean, therefore, and expects that also of festival goleador to tenor of the good performance of the ones of Luis Enrique in the two first official parties of the season, that served to guarantee the title of the Supercopa of Spain 2016 with both victories against the Seville, 0-2 in the gone and 3-0 in the turn.

Of this 3-0 stood out with two goals Burn Turan, that is the one who splits with advantage to the hour to accompany to Leo Messi and Luis Suárez in the flank of attack. It expects that it also have minutes, however, a Munir The Haddadi that already was tempted by the Real Betis like signing -or cession- of face to this season, as well as by other clubs of the Spanish League, but that for the moment keeps in the staff and does not expect that it go to do the cases. It expects a big entrance in the Camp Nou this Saturday, in addition to a festive environment that can presage a possible goleada. If Gerard Hammered or Samuel Umtiti lesionaran, the Barça would not have spares in the bench, but could improvise delaying to Rakitic or to Sergi Roberto, in an option that Luis Enrique no descartó this Friday in press conference.

Undiano Mallenco Will be the attendant to give justice on the terrain of game, and expects that it was not leading as it has been it some other times against of the Barça, as in the final of the Glass of the King 2011. In that occasion, left impune the hard and sometimes violent game of the whites allowing that Pepe and Sergio Bouquets finish playing all the party. This time, by a lot that the Real Betis encourage in detaining the Barcelona game, does not foresee that the ones of Luis Enrique have big problems to surpass to a very inferior rival in quality. The aim will be encarrilar the marker the fastest possible and, from here, amuse. And this, with Leo Messi in the team, is always easier.
