minute and result here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p> Arsenal and Bar\u00e7a confront in moments very ‘distinct’<\/h2> The duel between ‘gunners’ and Barcelona promises to have sparks. In the past season both groups showed to be in an exceptional level and have like big objective litigate by titles in the 2023\/2024. In the SoFI Stadium will contest a party that, perfectly, could be one of the phase of groups of the Champions League or, even, of some eighth of final. Of there that the requirement was maximum for Xavi Hern\u00e1ndez and Mikel Arteta<\/strong>. There is not ‘opportunity’ to fail.<\/p> The true is that they will confront in moments very, very different. As we mentioned before, the Bar\u00e7a still has not been able to premi\u00e8re in the pre-season and will have in in front of an Arsenal with a lot of shooting. And it is that they began his walk two weeks ago with a tie in front of the N\u00fcrnberg German (1-1), gone on down a ‘manita’ to the team All-Stars of the MLS (0-5) in which they shined players like Gabriel Jesus or Leandro Trossard, but that also served so that Kai Havertz premi\u00e8red like goleador in the rows of the ‘gunners’<\/strong>. They did not have ‘luck’ in the crash of this morning against the Manchester United, in which they fell in the statutory time (0-2) and also in the batch of penaltis (3-5).<\/p> For more ‘satisfy’, the londinenses are to the doors of the dispute of the Community Shield against the Manchester City<\/strong> and are convinced that they will be able to plant face to the group of Pep Guardiola. They want to ‘avenge’ after, in the past course, them ‘stole’ the title of the Premier League. This will cause that they take the party in front of the Bar\u00e7a like a ‘final’ that prepare them to be to the maximum level of face to the party against the ‘citizens’ of 6 August, in Wembley.<\/p> The possible alignments of the Arsenal-Bar\u00e7a of pre-season<\/h2> XI of the Arsenal: <\/strong>Ramsdale; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Tierney; Partey, Trossard, Odegaard; Saka, Jesus, Martinelli.<\/li> \t XI of the FC Barcelona: <\/strong>Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Ronald Ara\u00fajo, Eric Garc\u00eda, Marcos Alonso; Oriol Romeu, Franck Kessi\u00e9, Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez; Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.<\/li> <\/ul> In the middle of a pre-season results complicated to have an idea of what can propose the trainers from the start, especially because they are split to test, rotar and ‘confirm’ feelings. In the Bar\u00e7a, in concrete, Xavi will take in account to the players that more trainings have completed and the ‘will mix’ with the international that took more in adding to the sessions. In theory, the egarense could give continuity to the 4-3-3 against the Arsenal and reserve a tactical change for the second half. <\/strong><\/p> In this sense, is likely that was Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen the one who split under the three sticks accompanied of a defence that would be conformed by Sergi Roberto in the right side, with the option of Sergi\u00f1o Dest for the second half, depending on how was Jules Kound\u00e9. In the axis of the retaguardia could appear the couple of head offices of Ronald Ara\u00fajo and Eric Garc\u00eda, with the option that Andreas Christensen see minutes. <\/strong>In the side, Marcos Alonso aims to be headline until Alejandro Balde receive the high medical.<\/p> In the centre of the field is where will begin the variables. If the trainer egarense wants to bet by his system more ‘traditional’, is likely that Oriol Romeu add his first titularity, like pivote. It will be accompanied of two interiors that have done the complete pre-season, Franck Kessi\u00e9 and Pedri Gonz\u00e1lez. The alternatives of Ilkay G\u00fcndogan, Frenkie of Jong and Gavi will be present for the second half. Finally, if Xavi wants to play with a trident is predictable that Ferran Torres and Raphinha, that have added all the trainings, split from the extremes to accompany to the goleador Robert Lewandowski. <\/strong><\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona will open its 2023\/2024 pre-season with a highly demanding match against Arsenal.
