Knowing to Javier Mascherano and sabedores of how takes to breast the things the Argentinian defender, would not be descabellado think that the central have not been able to sleep after the party in front of the Sportive Alavés. Two his errors punctual condemned to the ones of Luis Enrique to fit two goals and, therefore, lose a meeting that had to have won with holgura. These problems of the defender of Saint Lorenzo, that already evidenció in the first meetings of the pre-season, leave him in a difficult situation.

"I struggle" it trusts blindly in him but it is not less true that also sees with very good eyes the irruption of Samuel Umtiti in the team. The international Frenchman contested two good meetings in front of the Real Betis and the Athletic Club before the stop of selections and the Barcelona technician could think in giving him the titularity together with Gerard Hammered for the party in front of the Celtic of this Tuesday.

Something that would suppose a sample more than this change generacional that this season can produce in the centre of the saga. To Umtiti him fichó to grow at the side of Hammered and "Masche" but anybody expected a so good performance by his part having happened so little time of his arrival. 

What is true is that the international with France erige like a mainstay in the Barcelona defence and could do that Mascherano happened also to the mediocentro, to give him rest to Sergio Busquets, only player of the staff that does not have spare. It was as it went, this competition that Umtiti has put him to the team will be very beneficial along the season so that neither the Argentinian neither the Catalan sleep in the laurels. Now yes that there are people that bites from backwards.
