The first Colombian player in the history of the FC Barcelona, Yerry Mina, already forms part officially of the first Barcelona team in spite of that the player to the one who theoretically will have to relieve in the staff, Javier Mascherano, foresees that it continue to the orders of Valverde until they remain few days so that it close the advantage of signings of winter.
The reason would not be another, as 'Sport', that ensure the competitiveness of the defensive saga of the Barcelona at all times so that it do not remain 'take' with the course of Mascherano, taking into account that Umtiti still is lesionado and will not be able to reappear to within of some weeks.
It is thus that has closed the signing of Yerry Mina before Mascherano do the cases, so that both central coincide in the team during some days so that I Hammered and Vermaelen, those who lately more minutes are playing in the Barcelona saga, can have of rest when it was necessary and be relieved of the field with guarantees in the case of lesionarse.
Ernesto Valverde is a serious trainer and previsor, and would want to have at all times of a minimum of four head offices 'healthy' in the staff of the FC Barcelona, reason by the which has closed the arrival of Yerry Mina faster of the expected months backwards.
Mascherano, the model to be followed of Yerry Mina
Mascherano, besides, will be able to exert of this way of 'guide' of Yerry Mina before abandoning the FC Barcelona, being able to the Colombian fix in him to start with to adapt what before to the discipline and the style of game that practises in the Barcelona team.
Like this the things, Yerry Mina will be already to the orders of Ernesto Valverde after being presented to finals of the present week, although it will go in of progressive way in the alignments, when the 'Txingurri' see that it can offer a good performance. Step by step.
