After some days of rest in the stop navideño, the calendar accelerates again for the FC Barcelona, that will advance in LaLiga and the Glass of the King in January before reencontrarse with the Champions in February. After a year in which it certified a doublet, the requirements have elevated in the Camp Nou, what has caused a change in the planning allocated to improve the performance of the Barcelona.

In addition to the virtues that praise of Ernesto Valverde, if there is a reproach that it signals him is his excessive predilection by his men of confidence, what has carried him in occasions to be too conservative and to not to move of the alignments and elections in which it feels comfortable. This, in a team with so many stars, relanzó to a group 'touched' that turned into solid and practically inexpugnable, but that finally tocabó paying his efforts in the final stretch of the past campaign.

Although the technician does not share entirely this point of view, has accepted that if it wants to resist to the pressure of a club of this magnitude has to be in constant renewal, by what has made varied adjust in his plans. Thus it has recovered a 4-3-3 that have facilitated him the pieces that now have in the staff, and besides has prepared another key modification that could have effect in some months.

The rotations that otrora cost to see, now are asiduas mates of trip, so much between the headlines as to the hour to do replacements. The Txingurri has used the Glass with clarity to rest to his big figures, and besides to give entrance to a quarry that goes back to show the head with freshness and illusion. And no only this, but in League also has allowed the luxury to go 'pinching' minutes of some of the most demanded. Little by little, it goes them giving a break.

The extremeño no longer thinks it to him so much if it has to do without intocables like Luis Suárez or Ivan Rakitic, and even has dared with Sergio Busquets and Leo Messi, explaining that to these, illnesses and injuries have opened them also something of gap. Besides, the discussed Russian mountain that live Ousmane Dembélé and Philippe Coutinho can finish being beneficial, because both have intercalado and will not arrive so punished again to the key point, the most decisive part of the season.

"It is true that this month is very intense and that we have to change things", admitted Valverde in the previous press conference to the duel copero against the Raise, in which it signalled that the disaster of Rome did not go only blames of the tiredness, and underlined that it sees to his players in full form and that is not had to throw any title. The change with regard to previous years is that this year the staff is much more compensated.

The Barça has to be fresco for his examination in Champions

And thanks to high, low and promotions from the quarry, Ernesto Valverde has begun to repeat a speech that for the Barça is very necessary, and is that the seasons do not take out with hardly 13 or 15 footballers. It prefers to work with short staff but in the one of this course has had between 20 and 24 cracks, in addition to the punctual reinforcements that go going up of the Barça B.

And to little that work his forecasts, will be able to give the jump that all expect, and is that with the Messi, Suárez, Dembélé or Busquets in full form for April and May, will be something easier give a hit on the table in Champions, the big pending account that in the last years has remained in the City Condal. It is not mathematical and no always wins it the best, but all adjust goes to be well if it helps to step more to the 'orejona'. It will be necessary to see if the strategy works.
