Riqui Puig was the great absence of Quique Setién's eleven to face Naples. The youth squad seemed to have a guaranteed place in the line-up, but was finally left out by the entrance of Sergi Roberto
Quique Setién gave the chime with the eleven that decided to take out against the Naples to the not having Riqui Puig. The canterano seemed to have won the place after his performances after the stop, but the Cantabrian preferred the experience of Sergi Roberto against the napolitanos. All the means took for granted that the one of Matadepera would split of start to take advantage of his big moment of form, but finally has not been like this.
The technician barcelonista has sinned of careful by enésima time this campaign and has not dared to bet from the beginning by the Catalan. The offensive midfield player arrived to the crash in shape and with many win after his spectacular 'sprint' final of campaign, but this has not cost him to be headline in the most important party of the course. The ex míster of the Betis had another idea in his head and at the end preferred to have the '29' as revulsivo.
Although the suplencia of Riqui surprised especially, is not so surprising that Setién have bet by Roberto. The always polyvalent half or side has surrendered very well in the meetings in which it has played like interior and his trainer has had this in account in front of the Naples. It is necessary to remember that the also canterano already played to good level in the centre of the field against Villarreal, Espanyol and Osasuna in the last days of League.
The experience, physicist and solidity that gives Sergi in the half won to the youth, quality and mobility that contributes Riqui. The one of Matadepera has more technical, vision and desborde, but his physicist still is not to the height of the elite. Surely this was fundamental so that Quique decided to put to the of Reus and seat to Puig. The commitment against the Naples is the most important of the campaign and the ex of The Palms preferred to go to the safe.
Setién Bet by Griezmann in the forward
In addition to the suplencia of the youngster '29', it is necessary to stand out that Setién bet also by Antoine Griezmann in the forward. The French lesionó against the Valladolid does several weeks and was serious doubt for the crash, but finally recovered to time and went in in the list of summoned. In spite of his recovery, was not clear that the santanderino went to have he of start, something that finally did to put in liza the MSG.
The one of Macon was fundamental in the gone against the ones of the Campania when marking the so much of the tie. This target was fundamental so that the Barça could face the turn with some tranquility, by what his presence this Saturday was important. At the end, although it was not to his best level, the Cantabrian preferred to have he to put to Ansu Fati, that was the big alternative for the place.
