Calendar of FC Barcelona

It is true that direct to the Real Madrid is an only opportunity in the career of a trainer, but more than a gift, to Julen Lopetegui have delivered him a bomb of watchmaking. Zinedine Zidane abandoned the club to all haste and the Gipuzkoan was the elected to substitute him, although for the moment it has not attained to put remedy to the storm that little by little approaches to Santiago Bernabéu. With a staff for doing and the obligation to struggle by all the titles, the time exhausts in the capital.

The clock follows running and warns that it only remains a week so that it close the market of signings, but the risky strategy of Florentino Pérez continues on its course and many look for him justification. The president has closed the tap of the millions and has reduced his investment to a goalkeeper and a right side, curiously two positions that were enough very covered.

The problem, among others, is that neither the centre of the field neither the forward, two very weakened zones, have found spares for Mateo Kovacic and Cristiano Ronaldo, and many ensure since the intention is apurar by Kylian Mbappé or Neymar. If they continue happening the days and there are not news, will be the technician the one who have to turn off the fire, and the changing room, for the time being, is more than revolved.

The problems of the Real Madrid in his staff

The goal

Perhaps it was the line that better perspectives has, although this does not remove that it go to be complicated to manage. To Lopetegui touches him choose between the recently arrived Thibaut Courtois and Keylor Navas, but in case that the costarricense follow, there are more subjects that resolve. Kiko Box, Andriy Lunin and Luca Zidane are still in the team, and it is necessary to decide if any will remain like third goalkeeper and to where go the rest.

The defence

It is another very controlled plot, although the one of Asteasu wants some retouchings. In addition to asking a cession for Jesús Vallejo that lesiona too much, the ex of the Spanish selection would prefer to incorporate to another central, a position that in the team considers little cover. A case inexplicable is the one of Fabio Coentrao, that has gone back to the trainings late and this that does years that neither account. It looks for him destination, but still there are not news in this regard.

The centre of the field

One of the most shaken zones of the summer by the internal conflicts. After some months of insistence, the anger of Mateo Kovacic ended in his course, although finally it was yielded to Chelsea that it will not be able to buy it. Luka Modric Also was about to do the cases, and have not arrived some reinforcements that seems that they will be the youngsters ignored by Zidane. Dani Ceballos Has the confidence of the míster, but Marcos Llorente no and also could go out.

The forward

The big hit gave it Cristiano Ronaldo, and waiting for a desperate attempt of Florentino, is a line that has remained 'touched'. There is not answer of the president and it will be necessary to see if there is alternative of last hour to the signings, already of last hour, of Neymar or Mbappé. The big bet was Vinícius and seems that it will remain in the filial, and Lopetegui will have to throw with what there is and decide the future of Borja Mayoral, that could remain or leave yielded.
