The painful conclusion of the FC Barcelona with Thomas Vermaelen

The FC Barcelona goes back to confront this course to the puzzle of the central, since the problems in the knee of Samuel Umtiti have left the defence 'touched' again. Gerard Hammered and Clément Lenglet, luckily, are resisting without rotar too much, and the third alternative is Thomas Vermaelen that leaves conclusions very painful after the best months that has lived in the City Condal.

Until the arrival of Ernesto Valverde, the one of Kapellen practically never had been a real option, since his fragility had happened him bill and in few occasions there was space as to value his performance on the terrain of game. However, in the first year of the Txingurri in the bench all changed, when the Belgian chained more than ten parties playing and could, at last, show to all his big virtues.

Alas, the injuries went back to cut him the step, something that has been a too usual ballast along his career. In this campaign, more than the same, what has put in doubt his options of future. Already it is almost official that will not renew his agreement and will leave in the summer of 2019, but the big question is, if Umtiti has to operate , owe the Barça bet by Vermaelen?

Arrived the moment, it will be necessary to take decisions, because it is true that his physicist is a coin to the air, but also that has a lot of quality. The critical that his day had to listen turned off in what the fans could see him like one more in the saga culé, where moves like fish in the water are those that are the weeks that carry of inactivity.

This season has been able to check once again. After a night to forget like left side in Leganés and a participation testimonial against the Tottenham in Wembley, fulfilled in Mestalla against the Valency without excessive complications. lesionó With his selection, and in his turn shined in the Glass of the King against the Cultural Leonese. And in case there were doubts, repeated exhibition against the 'spurs' in the Camp Nou.

It cost him of start in a marked duel by the rotations, but although it suffered with the speed of the rival forwards, could impose in the majority of charged, and only arrived a goal after the arreón desperate of the English to last hour. It understood well with Lenglet in a defence with two left-handed head offices, was hit to the cut, by up and by down, and sure in the exit of balloon. Vermaelen Would be without any doubt the ideal election, always, clear is, that respected him the injuries.

If the bet is Vermaelen, the Masia will cover him the backs

If the Barça opts for parking the market of signings and play it with Vermaelen, there is a third road that will cover him the backs, that is not another that the filial. When the one of Kapellen fell with Belgium and Umtiti was of drop, Chumi was the elected by Valverde, and if the situation goes back to give, it will be necessary to step forward with the youngsters. The intention is to conquer League, Champions and Glass of Rey, so any help is good if it treats to add.
