The FC Barcelona premièred this Saturday the new normality of the football, and did it aiming a goleada against the RCD Mallorca. After several months of stop, the conclusions are optimistic in the City Condal, since the team needs to grow but left good feelings. Thanks to his efforts tieed up a victory convincente that armoured the leadership of LaLiga in front of the threat of the Real Madrid.

In the stadium of Sound Moix, the Catalans confronted to some novelties, and one of them were the five changes by meeting. FIFA And IFAB approved a temporary modification of his regulation with the aim to recess the wear of the footballers and warn injuries in a calendar tightened to the maximum, and the Spanish Federation gave him fit to this measure in his tournaments beside the two pauses for the hydratation.

In spite of that in the last weeks there has been debate on to the one who benefits more east adjust, Quique Setién took advantage of it to perfection. Precisely, the preparador barcelonista had criticised it because it considers that it can prejudice to his pupilos, since the opponents will have more arms to defend of a football of possession, high intesidad and touch. In the visit to Balearic, however, went a point for of the culés.

The first retouching of the Cantabrian arrived in the rest, by what did not consume any of the three 'batches' allowed. The intermediate does not consider an interruption and offers more alternative to the trainers, and in this case to the ex of the Real Betis did not matter him admit that it used it to avoid a second yellow for Arturo Vidal. The Chilean was playing to the limit and his place occupied it Ivan Rakitic, that no desentonó for nothing.

The second was one of the most expected by the fans, since it allowed to see again on the lawn to Luis Suárez. The one of Jump carried from mediated of January in the dry dam by an injury in the knee, and although it has gone back in full conditions to the trainings, needs to take rhythm of competition. In the minute 57, the relieved was Antoine Griezmann, that took a break and left his place to the Uruguayan.

In the minute 71, the technician kept the tension of his troops, and bet by a double replacement that gave him air to the defence and to the centre of the field. In the right-handed lane went out Sergi Roberto and went in a Nélson Semedo very active, whereas in the room of machines withdrew Sergio Busquets, that will have to dosificarse in this demanding final of campaign and went in Arthur, something imprecise but improving to with the step of the time.

Setién Had to do a change of emergency

Setién Also confirmed in press conference that the last change was unexpected, and that was due to the annoyances of Frenkie of Jong. The míster explained that the youngster is calm and that expects "that it was not at all", but indicated that it was he same the one who demanded the assistance of the bench. The entrance of Junior Firpo in the minute 84 perhaps was allocated to suplir to Jordi Alba, but in this occasion served to patch a slight descosido.
