They expected changes in Anoeta against the Real Sociedad, and the FC Barcelona had them but were not between the novelties of the summer. The signings went back to remain out of the eleven initial, and Ernesto Valverde had reasons of weight to reserve them
It arrived the FC Barcelona to the fourth day of LaLiga visiting Anoeta, after a stop of selections calmer but equally demanding. When it treats to confront to the Real Sociedad in Guipúzcoa, all the culés desconfían, and also did it Ernesto Valverde that again opted for minimising risks.
There are some doubts on the Txingurri by his excess of patience with the signings, but in this case his reasons were more than justified. Malcom and Arthur did not reach the announcement, and Clément Lenglet and Arturo Vidal expected in the bench because the defence was for Gerard Hammered and Samuel Umtiti and the centre of the field for Ivan Rakitic, Sergi Roberto and Rafinha Alcántara.
An eleven of confidence and with rotations to execute the plan and repeat the victory of the past campaign, the first after several years in which always it regretted a Barcelona prick. They were diverse conditionings those that prevented to see to the recently arrived, but here can find with a brief review.
The reasons that left to the Barça without signings in the eleven against the Real Sociedad
Malcom
It was the most evident of the four, because in spite of carrying some days working in his recovery, still has annoyances after a sprain of ankle. To the of Sao Paulo will arrive him his opportunity, but will be with some days of demora until it was to 100% and to Ousmane Dembélé touch him rest.
Arthur
The one of Goiania carried a rest after premièring like international and accumulate a very long trip. It played in the two parties of the selection of the absolute selection of Brazil in United States, and still does not have chevrons like Philippe Coutinho as to be equally in the bench.
Clément Lenglet
In a so demanding field like Anoeta, Valverde has bet by two head offices with experience and automatisms. Still lacking so that the French lace and understand to perfection with Hammered or Umtiti, that already carry several seasons playing together and have accumulated a lot of parties being a bolt for the Catalans.
Arturo Vidal
The Chilean follows tuning physically, and has not wanted to risk in a meeting that went to be more complicated of start. Had minutes with his selection and was to good rhythm, but until it go back to his maximum level of form, will throw of patience not to force his knee.
