Paulinho Advances to Alcácer in the duel by the eleven of Mestalla

It will be a challenge of maximum level, and the FC Barcelona already prepares to consciousness to surpass another obstacle complicated in his career to the titles. The visit to Mestalla can mean a decisive step to LaLiga, and Ernesto Valverde follows giving him turns to the eleven ideal to jump to the lawn against Valencia. Little by little they go clearing the doubts.

Although in the last parties the solution of Paco Alcácer has given result, the technician could opt in this occasion by a more specific profile, the one of Paulinho. The Brazilian cuajó a big meeting against the Juventus, and in spite of the offensive jam prodigó so much in attack as in defence with an effort sustained that the Txingurri has in big appreciate.

Although it is true that the forward has fit to perfection like false midfield player, tracing diagonal upwards and helping to cover to the sides, also is it that in the second halves accuses the wear that produces him a so intense route, something that does not appreciate in a portento physical like his mate.

Both are the escuderos of Leo Messi and Luis Suárez regarding annotation -with four so many for Paulinho and three for Alcácer-, so his presence can help to decide a party as it already has occurred in more than an occasion in this same season. They are different footballers but with qualities that do them valid for the eleven, and with Valverde pending to decide, this time could touch him to the of Sao Paulo.

The central, solved

Another case that seems closed is the one of the absences in the defence, with Thomas Vermaelen signalled like couple of Samuel Umtiti in front of the drops of Gerard Hammered and Javier Mascherano. Although the Belgian arouses some doubts regarding his rhythm of competition, there are not them with regard to his quality, by what seems the most adapted option against Valencia.
