Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has the sight centred in the triplete, and remain him 15 finals between League, Champions and Glass of Rey. The career is increasingly complicated and there is not margin of error, but it is necessary to do a last effort and accelerate to put it in the two months that subtract of the season 2018-19. Another historical plenary goes back to be at stake.

After leaving backwards the last stop of selections of the course, Ernesto Valverde signalled that this will be a key week in the championship of the regularity. The appointment with the RCD Espanyol in the derbi has surpassed with victory, and now touches to repeat in the commitments against Villarreal in the Stadium of the Ceramics and Athletic of Madrid, again, like the derbi, in the Camp Nou.

Like the duel against the 'yellow submarine' is between week and after the rojiblancos appears the Manchester United, the Txingurri opened the door to the rotations, and more explaining that the staff is, to these heights, with the strengths something just. Fatigue, injuries and annoyances go to be obstacles added on the way, and it will be necessary to manage the changing room and attain that all contribute his granite of sand to the triumphs. Of face to the appointment in the coliseo 'groguet', the Txingurri could enter several changes in his alignment.

The possible rotations of the Barça against the Villarreal

Goal

There are few doubts that in the next clashes will follow commanding Marc-André Ter Stegen, because it is a safe for the Barça and because, besides, Jasper Cillessen is lesionado. In case that the German had some problem or needed an urgent rest, could throw of Iñaki Crag, but does not seem that the guardameta of the filial go to be useful soon further of his paper of acting.

Defence

It is necessary to remember that do rotations does not mean to bet by a revolution, although the defence offers quite a lot of possible retouchings. The normal would be that if Jordi Alba is one of the elected, started like headline and Valverde substituted him in function of the result of the crash. His place would occupy it one of the carrileros right-handed, probably Nélson Semedo if Sergi Roberto continuous the alternation and part of start in the right.

In the axis of the saga, the most expected is that it return Samuel Umtiti, that would occupy the place of Clément Lenglet. With Athletic and United in sight perhaps would suit to freshen the legs of Gerard Hammered, but except surprise, the Catalan will play because no esperá a pair of left-handed head offices, something that could test with the one of Yaundé beside Thomas Vermaelen, or the recovery of the testimonial Jeison Murillo -neither seems a good stage for the debut of Jean-Clair Todibo-.

Centre of the field

The rests will depend on the needs of the team and of the training used, since in front of a team to the that likes him play like the Villarreal, perhaps could see the effective 4-1-3-2 of Benito Villamarín. By the head of Valverde will happen to give him rest to Ivan Rakitic and Sergio Busquets, especially, but perhaps also to Arthur, so it touches to study the combinations in which they could go out benefited Arturo Vidal and Carles Aleñá. If Semedo repeats in the side, Sergi Roberto also would be an alternative.

Forward

The greater worry of the culés, for the time being, is Leo Messi, that because of his annoyances and, again, thinking in Athletic and United, could happen a while in the bench. As it can not do without all his men of confidence, could keep Luis Suárez, and follow looking for the explosion of Philippe Coutinho giving space to Malcom. Already it was of start or from the suplencia, perhaps would be a good occasion to use to Kevin-Prince Boateng.
