Ansu, Raphinha and Ferran: The possible offensive trident of Barça for the Clásico

The FC Barcelona will face the first of the three Classical earrings in front of the Real Madrid with the staff to the edge of the chaos product of the injuries. Without Pedri, Ousmane Dembélé neither Robert Lewandowski, to Xavi Hernández only remain him three available forwards for the gone of semifinals of Glass of the King this Thursday in Santiago Bernabéu: Ansu Fati, Raphinha and Ferran Torres, three players that grieve have coincided 78 minutes in the field this season.

The only precedent of the possible offensive trident for this Thursday dates of 1 November. It was in Plzen, in front of Viktoria, in the last party of the phase of groups of the Champions League. The technician egarense bet by an eleven alternative with the already deleted team and the third place ensured, where the '10' shared beside the '11' and to the '22' in a crash of formality that saldó with goleada (2-4). Ferran converted a doublet, whereas Raphinha assisted him in the 1-3 partial.

Ansu Was the only that did not add in offensive this dia, where also were headlines two players that no longer are in the staff: Gerard Hammered (retreat) and Héctor Bellerín (traspaso). Pablo Tower was the another novelty in an unpublished alignment that well could reedit, at least of the half upwards, the Thursday in the Bernabéu. The plague of injuries that affects to the club also has to the limit to the defence, since so much Jules Koundé like Ronald Araújo accumulate a lot of minutes after the stop mundialista.

Others that arrive with an important load of minutes are Andreas Christensen, Alejandro Balde and Frenkie of Jong, indisputable headlines from the reinicio of the competitions. Also it follows without being to the 100 % Sergio Busquets, the one who already was a pair of weeks was this month by a problem in the right ankle. Only Gavi has had a break, mainly by his problems with the yellow, in the middle of a relentless calendar.

Of the 'overbooking' to the shortage in attack

The Barça began the season with six forwards in his staff, sufficient for the plans of the míster of Terrassa in the planning for the 2022/23. Nevertheless, the problems with the 'fair play' financial forced the exit of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Chelsea on the end of the market veraniego, leaving 'lame' the attack blaugrana when losing to the one who had been the best forward of the club in the first semester of 2022.

For I satisfy, Memphis Depay, the one who himself was a player prescindible in summer, opted for leaving to the Athletic of Madrid in January, with which Lewandowski remained like only '9' of the staff. The directive sondeó the possibility of fichar to Yannick-Ferreira Carrasco, but finally did not arrive any reinforcement in winter. The Sunday, the shortage of forwards did that Xavi opted by the youngster Ángel Alarcón like revulsivo in Almería and the forward of the filial left good feelings.

The plan 'B' for Xavi in the Bernabéu

Further of not having other options in attack, to the technician egarense remains him a plan 'B' to visit the Bernabéu: return to the diagram with four mediocentros, that already gave excellent results in front of the Real Madrid in the final of the Supercopa Spanish (1-3). Without Pedri, Xavi can bet by Franck Kessié to accompany to 'Busi' and Frenkie, with Gavi like extreme by left beside Raphinha and Ferran.

In this case, Ansu Fati would be the sacrificed, something that would not surprise in front of the scarce leadership of the '10' in the last weeks. In fact, the best performances of the of Bissau gave when ingresó in the complement. In this case, where neither would remain a lot of variants would be in the medullary, with Pablo Tower and Sergi Roberto like only alternative. There is little basic wardrobe, certainly, but follow having variants to confront to a Madrid that also arrives very just in the physical.
