The FC Barcelona knows that it left to go an opportunity 'of gold' this Tuesday in Andalucia. The Catalans showed a notorious supremacy inside the terrain, and in spite of being near of 30 minutes with a player more, could not capitalise a victory in the Sánchez-Pízjuán. However, there were several performances stood out for the ones of Xavi Hernández, and the one of Ronald Araújo​ could not happen unobserved.

It remained showed, once again, that the 'charrúa' is the best defensive piece that has the team. Youngster, agile, swift, powerful and with character, one authentic 'animal'. It is all what can look for a trainer in a defender. In spite of this, the injuries in the plantel have forced to the technician egarense to plant him in the right side, an atypical position for the 'oriental'.

The born in Rivera is a born central defender. Has the physicist, the height, and the 'appetite' goleador in each unemployed balloon that contests in the rival area. By the moment, the míster has him 'enjaulado' by the right band. The drops of Sergiño Dest, Sergi Roberto, Moussa Wagué and Dani Alves have kept him moved away of his usual position. Nevertheless, the Uruguayan has known like adapting to the different roles that has had to occupy in the terrain. This does not do more than remarking his quality, and that also is one of the 'perlas' that has Xavi to his disposal.

It is important to signal that Araújo has grieve 22 years, almost the same age that had Gerard Hammered when going back to the Barcelona in 2008. The relief of one of the maximum representatives of the barcelonismo is more than safe in the feet of the '4'. On the other hand, January will be a very peculiar month for the blaugranas, and can be the start to a new historical stage in the institution. Xavi could have his 'eleven of gala' to disposal, and would be smart to show that the Barça is still for big things.

The return of the drops

The first month of the 2022 'loan' for big things. Dani Alves Will be able to be available for Xavi, and would go back Ansu Fati and Pedri to the fields of game. Perhaps also it arrive Memphis Depay, and with the level of game that has showed Gavi, would be four footballers that offer a different dynamics for the one of Terrassa. This without mentioning that they can arrive new reinforcements, that expand even more the options for the ones of the City Condal.
