Calendar of FC Barcelona

Óscar Mingueza was the canterano that Ronald Koeman​ chose in front of the plague of injuries that asoló to the FC Barcelona during a stretch of this season. Gerard Hammered lesionó of gravity, shortly after fell Ronald Araújo and Samuel Umtiti had physical problems, as it comes being usual from does some years. In front of this, the trainer barcelonista 'threw' of the defender title of the Barça B.

The one of Santa Perpetua of Moguda took advantage of this opportunity and showed that it can be a very useful resource for the culés. Since, it has left several parties stood out, others in which it fulfilled, and some, the minority, in which it did not have his day. But in spite of the errors that have been able to commit, the feelings with him have been good and the defender has won to his trainer by his work and polivalencia. Up to now, it has contested 18 crashes between all the competitions, giving a level more than acceptable.

But although it is of head office like Mingueza better has surrendered, goes to be as lateral where find his place in the Barcelona this campaign. When Araújo went back and Umtiti woke up, was Sergiño Dest the one who fell lesionado and added to a list of drops in which it already was Sergi Roberto. With the two carrileros 'KO', the Dutch technician had to experience with the canterano in the side and the reality is that the plan has cuajado.

Although Óscar has left some doubts like right-handed side, has showed with played like his assistance against the Athletic, that is a cumplidor and that it can be an important resource. By this reason, as it aims the newspaper 'Sport', the one of Zaandam has done him fixed in the staff. The ex seleccionador of Holland does not go to 'go down' to the defender to the Barça B and goes to be followed having he in spite of the turn of the lesionados.

Sergiño Dest Already is training with the group and is question of days that can play, whereas Sergi Roberto reappeared of his injury the past Sunday. But the one of Reus, for surprise of many, jumped to the field in the second part by Miralem Pjanic and no by Mingueza. Koeman Preferred to give him minutes in the centre of the field, his natural place, in a decision that could hint that from now could have he more as half that like carrilero.

Mingueza Would be the acting of Dest

Unless the things change, the plan of the trainer barcelonista would be that Dest was the headline in the right, whereas the one of Santa Perpetua of Moguda would be his acting. Besides, it would be another alternative for the centre of the defence in case they go back to have injuries in this zone. Now, therefore, it would begin a new stage for a Mingueza that will follow working each day to follow showing him to Koeman that does not make a mistake with him.
