The list of distinct defences that Koeman has had to invent this season

Ronald Koeman has presented difficulties to form a solid defence and with continuity, as the sanctions, rotations and, especially, a fatal seguidilla of injuries have prevented it to him. Of the 24 official commitments contested until the moment, the technician has seen in the need to improvise 12 distinct sagas, with seven couples of head offices and one with three. The last formed it this Saturday in front of the Granada when it had to give entrance to Samuel Umtiti by the loss of Ronald Araújo, more the sanction of Lenglet.

Óscar Mingueza accompanied in the saga to Umtiti, the one who still finds in his process of recovery. Koeman Had it clear from start, as well as when it ranged to Sergi Roberto, Gerard Hammered, Lenglet and Jordi Alba, the same that the past campaign in the three first meetings. Jordi Alba lesionó for two parties and with the arrival of Sergiño Dest, current right side, solved the problem even also for the Champions League.

Until then, Junior Firpo did not find in the plans of the technician. In front of the Real Madrid, the strategist situated to the North American in his place seating to Sergi Roberto, to the that recovered in front of the Juventus. In that commitment, Gerard Hammered did not see minutes by sanction and Araújo jumped to the field for the first time with the Barcelona group.

Since at all it had changed, until to give rest to Lenglet, delayed to Of Jong to the defensive axis. It has not tested it more than start. But it went with the injury of Hammered in front of the Athletic of Madrid when all changed. It did not have Araújo by injury from the commitment in front of Alavés, Koeman 'rose' to Mingueza, to the one who delivered him the titularity by four parties more.

After seven games of drop, the Uruguayan recovered the place accompanying to Lenglet, until Koeman seated it by two commitments. Afterwards it arrived the change of system with three head offices, the available and again with the logical formula with Araújo and Lenglet, until this Saturday in front of the Granada.

However, in spite of the falencias defensive that has presented the Barcelona group, has not seen prejudiced in the last crashes. Goleó Of conclusive way (0-4) to the Granada of the hand of his captain, Lionel Messi, and Antoine Griezmann, each one marked doublet. The front of attack answered, and the defence could cancel the gesta of played of danger by part of the rival that showed strong in spite of being underneath in the marker.
