Valverde dosifica To Coutinho: Rest and no punishment against the Espanyol in Cornellá

The FC Barcelona faced this Saturday a new round to LaLigto, and after several days with problems of lesionados, arrived the hour to take decisions in the eleven. Ernesto Valverde did not doubt against the RCD Espanyol, with an alignment that included to his men more in shape. This caused some doubts in the fans, since there was a star that had to remain in the bench.

The main victim by the plans of the technician was Philippe Coutinho, acting in the visit to the RCDE Stadium. It treated of a very special appointment because the carioca played does some years in the group blanquiazul, but after some weeks of bajón, touched him expect his turn and leave step to other mates.

Explaining that there were some elections innegociables for the míster, can consider that Ousmane Dembélé and Arturo Vidal left without place to the ex of the Liverpool, that could occupy the left band so much of extreme as of interior. More than being slopes of suspicacias, the culés saw it like something normal, in a movement that had an overwhelming sportive logic.

After going back of an inopportune muscular injury, the Brazilian has been far of his best moment of form, and the two cracks mentioned have more rhythm of competition. The French has left backwards his líos and begins to give that speak by reasons purely futbolísticos, and the Chilean has taken advantage of the drops to consolidate like titling in the diagrams of the extremeño.

It was the own Valverde the one who warned that the problems of Coutinho did not concern him, but that yes wanted to find them solution. "It is truth that all look to the players that want that they give us more. Coutinho Goes out of an injury and the last party that played in Milan was a partidazo. It has acted in two parties. We have to be with a bit of eye because it can have relapses. We want that it recover the point what before", commented does some days, and now has given him space to do a 'reset'. It will be necessary to see if it works.

The competition of his cracks benefits to the Barça

Although it is difficult to take decisions like this, Valverde tries desdramatizar the movements in the eleven, and the true is that the competition between the players is benefiting to the Barça. The Barcelona are seeing that if it fails Coutinho is Dembélé, if it fails Arthur, Arturo Vidal, and that if some of the indiscutibñes does not have the day, there are spare alternatives to follow winning. The titles are the only aim, and all can add his granite of sand.
