Piqué, the great signing of Barça for the final of the Copa del Rey

Gerard Hammered 'won' an extra week to put to 100%. The Catalan had trained two days with his mates and coló in the announcement of the FC Barcelona for the Classical in front of the Real Madrid this Saturday. The Catalan accompanied to his team, but from the technical body did not want to risk with his knee and cause a new relapse of his injury. However, I Hammered it could turn into the big signing of the Barça for the last stretch of the season.

The intention and wish of the central blaugrana was to be in Valdebebas and contest the party in front of the eternal rival, but the previous feelings did not go totally positive. Although I Hammered it trained two days with the rest of the group, what tried from the staff technical and medical services of the club was to test his knee and see if it resisted the load of work. The annoyances continued and the player saw forced to infiltrate analgesic in the zone for, in case to jump to the field in the Classical, play without annoyances.

However, Ronald Koeman and his team considered very risky that premièred , after more than a month without playing, in front of the Real Madrid, knowing that it was not to 100% and that it could be contraproducente, for him and for the Barça. The Dutch wanted to avoid what happened when it took action in front of the PSG and three weeks afterwards, in the semifinals of the Glass of the King in front of the Seville, went back to fall of the plans of the Barcelona group by a new annoyance in the knee.

With this antecedent, the Barça this time wants to do the things well and risk the most minimum possible to Hammered, a player that will continue being key for Koeman, by his talent in the field but also by the leadership and motivation 'extra' of the blaugrana when he is in the field. Like this then , the decision to reserve it in Valdebebas was the most hit and will allow that, without problems, can be present in the last nine 'final' of the season.

The Glass of Rey, the challenge of Hammered

With the open panorama so that the Barça can achieve the doublet, Gerard Hammered 'will tighten' this week to leave backwards all his physical problems and go back to be available for his team in the most crucial moment of the season. The final of the Glass of Rey, this Saturday in The Cartuja in front of the Athletic of Bilbao, is the big challenge for the Catalan defender and looks forward to to be available for the party.

This yes, his return would mean a new 'revolution' in the alignment of Ronald Koeman. Already in front of the Madrid the Dutch went out again with line of three in the defence, but with Araújo by Frenkie of Jong, the one who went back to his original position in the medullary. Now, if I Hammered it can be headline in front of the 'lions' it will be necessary to see the plan of the trainer blaugrana, although the most likely is that it was Óscar Mingueza the big sacrificed of the eleven.
