De Jong, the 'revulsive' of Barça when everything else fails

The Barcelona could not surpass home to the Napoli in the party of gone of the eighth of final of the Europe League. The culés had spare occasions to be able to expand the marker and abandon the Camp Nou with a goleada in the pocket. However, the forcefulness was a key factor again and Xavi Hernández recognises it openly. It is thus that there are options in attack that could begin to win weight in the vestidor.

Although what wishes to pose the egarense in this 'new' Barça is the pressure, have the possession and the triangulations, a player of the characteristics of Luuk of Jong would not fit of the everything. However, in the last commitments, including the 'bump' in front of the Italians, the Dutch did not need of long to cause an impact in the rhythm of game and in the fans. From the minute 86' that ingresó, his presence was clear and almost annotates a golazo of 'Chilean' that would do to fall the stadium. It was a headache for the central and caused more danger that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in all the commitment.

Previously, every time that ingresaba to the terrain existed a feeling of sorna by part of the public, but little by little has gone winning to the viewer that now applauds him and recognises the effort that does inside the field. Xavi has it elogiado in press conference: "it Is a brutal professional, trains as it plays and put it always like example". It is thus that would not be of extrañar that begin to 'add whole' and have increasingly minutes.

Aubameyang, for now cold

In the almost hour and average that was inside the field, the feeling that leave the gabonés was not the expected. Although it is true that is restarting his level and that in the physical appearance kept chord to the expectations, Of Jong seems to be a stair by in front of him in determination. It is very soon to take out conclusions, and the time will dictate sentence with the role that will occupy 'Auba' in the diagram of the born in Terrassa.

By the moment, between Luuk and the African are dispustando the titularity as '9', although Memphis Depay is accelerating his recovery and needs to show to be taken in account. In a secondary plane would be Martin Braithwaite, the one who has not had minutes after his recovery and wait also have an opportunity. Mestalla Will be the next stage and will know those who explain and those who no for Xavi.
