The options that Xavi is considering to stop Vinicius in the Clásico

The FC Barcelona will confront this Sunday to the Real Madrid in the final of the Supercopa of Spain. The Barcelona do not have any lesionado and Xavi Hernández will be able to do manoeuvres in his saga to contain the advanced of the merengues, being Vinicius Júnior one of the main referents that will accompany to Karim Benzema in the front of attack.

For this, the culés will have to organise in a solid block with a lot of available alternatives. A priori, the training that more antoja would be the pair of Ronald Araújo and Jules Koundé in the central axis, while the sides would be custodiados by Sergi Roberto and Jordi Alba. However, also it exists the possibility that the Uruguayan displace rightwards and Andreas Christensen occupy his place.

It would not be the first time that Xavi does this movement, since in the Classical of the (0-4) the 'charrúa' dried completely to the Brazilian, showing an exceptional performance in Santiago Bernabéu. In fact, if it does not plant it by the band would be because it is satisfied with his exert like head office, what opens the door to that Koundé displace to the side.

The French has worked in this position since Araújo fell lesionado almost in simultaneous with Sergi Roberto. During the World-wide of Qatar was lateral with France by decision of Didier Deschamps, although the true is that the own footballer prefers to act in the half of the defence. It is an important alternative that can award guarantees in front of 'Vini'.

The two 'jokers'

If of natural positions treated , Héctor Bellerín would be the one who more integers would add to conform the eleven by the right-handed lane. At all more far of the reality. The canterano has not been protagonist for the trainer and his presence the Sunday would be an authentic surprise taking into account that hardly it has contested six parties since it arrived in summer.

Finally it would be Sergi Roberto. The one of Reus already suffered the desbordes of Vinicius in the last Classical although the final balance in the one to one finished more than balanced. It is a solid variant if Araújo and Koundé conform the central pair because it has the maximum confidence of Xavi. In front of the Betis was headline but against the merengues antoja like a third option.
