Joao Cancel has been surely the footballer that more regularity has had this season in the Barça beside Gündogan, but seems to have arrived the ideal moment so that the luso can receive a deserved rest
Joao Cancel is being a footballer that allows him to Xavi try solve several problems. Although the luso adapted from the first moment to his role like right side, the egarense understood that it also could be an important player from the left lane, the centre of the field and even of extreme in some moments of the parties, although in these last two examples yes that with much less effectiveness.
This decision of the míster, added to his good level in the last two or three months have seen him play almost all the minutes in which it has been available since it dressed with the Barcelona T-shirt. Besides, so much Ronald Araújo like Koundé and Sergi Roberto, the players that could allow him rest, have gone through the infirmary this course, 'forcing him' to remain on the lawn almost 90% of the minutes.
However, for this Wednesday seems to have an ideal stage so that the luso can rest completely, or at least a considerable quantity of time. The FC Barcelona will visit to the Amberes in Belgium with his pass to the eighth of final of the Champions League already ensured, and the leadership of group with 99% of possibilities to keep it, by what seems the ideal moment so that finally I Cancel can be more in the bench that on the field.
Xavi has several alternatives not to use to Cancel
Although all indicates that Araújo also will receive rest, Xavi has other options to occupy the right side, as well as the left. The míster will have available to Koundé -also candidate to rest, Sergi Robert and the canterano Héctor Fort for the right lane, as well as Alejandro Balde for the another side of the defence, highlighting besides that the left-handed side arrives after three suplencias consecutive, by what his titularity seems almost ensured.
Like this, I Cancel it could begin without too many problems from the bench and perhaps go in in the last 20 or 30 minutes of party if like this it considered it Xavi. The another possibility could be see to the Portuguese in the XI and that it can be replaced by any of the already mentioned names during the rest or the first 10 minutes of the second time of the duel in front of the Amberes.
