Valverde Left it clear from the first day: Rakitic will go back to be a fixed in the Barça

The Supercopa of Spain was a good proof to see what can offer the FC Barcelona 2018-19, with a staff of a lot of quality and some reinforcements that have arrived to do it even more powerful. With less rhythm after the first days of trainings and a threatening Seville, the changes of Ernesto Valverde during the party were very reveladores, and there are several figures that go back to be stood out.

Although the medullary was one of the most retouched lines, the technician showed that it does not go to move to his men of confidence, and remained more than clear that Ivan Rakitic is one of them. The one of Möhlin harvested a brutal season, topped it with a subcampeonato world-wide and went back does not do a lot of some deserved holidays, but the míster wanted him there, in the bench.

The rest did not last him a lot, because in what the extremeño saw that the things be complicated put him to heat. With less than a week of trainings, there was the Croat, giving solidity to a room of machines that began to carburar. The, precisely, ex of the Seville, is a safe in defence and in attack, and although it was not to his best level is a prolongation of the trainer in the lawn.

To measure that the pre-season move away and the fitness go back to be the ideal, will go back the onces known to the Barça, and is to expect that Rakitic was in them. Although the past course managed of wonder and held without rotar several uninterruptible months, with so many spares this time could enjoy of some free days, to arrive better to the decisive stretch of the campaign. Even so, it will be necessary to see if Valverde forgives him one, because it is a footballer of the that does not want to separate.

Coutinho Will be another reference for Valverde

Another important gesture of the Txingurri arrived with Philippe Coutinho, that went his second change and also go in to form part of the centre of the field. The Brazilian carries six months in the Camp Nou and has won a place in the eleven ideal, and more now that will be missing help in the creation after a so important drop like the one of Andrés Iniesta.

It was like left interior or more advanced doing of false extreme, the carioca will be another intocable, a reading that can do on the same line that the one of the Croatian. Although Rafinha and Arthur did not do it badly, the meeting was atascando, and then arrived the headlines to turn off the possible fire. The bet went out winner.
