Ronald Koeman is being quite flexible with the rotations that has proposed to play it cool the load of minutes of his more regular players and avoid physical evils to mediated and to final of the present season. This circumstance has carried it to give him participation to two players that seemed to have foot and half out of the FC Barcelona when the Dutch directed the entity, as they are them Carles Aleñá and Riqui Puig.
Both formed part of the changes that Koeman did during the meeting in front of the Ferencvaros, by the fifth date of the phase of groups of the Champions League. Both went in to the minute 65, Aleñá did it by Lenglet, situating in the double pivote beside Pjanic and commanding to Of Jong to the central axis of the saga beside Mingueza, whereas Puig stepped the lawn in replacement of Griezmann, playing in the line of three that conforms behind the leading on duty centre.
The player with past in the Betis, to way of loan, had quite participation asociativa, his speciality, in the centre of the field, by what the fluidity in the game of the Barcelona was supported by his presence. On the other hand, Aleñá prioritised the short passes, capacity that is fundamental if really it wants to keep in the picture culé, although they exist some rumours that put it out of the club in winter.
By his part, the youngster Puig, the one who was contesting his second meeting of Champions League, was attentive to the works of the theft of balloon and also attained to propose a bit of offensive game during the time in which it was on the terrain of game. In the minute 74 of the commitment, had a clear opportunity in front of the archer of the Hungarian team, but could not concretise the same since the pass that received was very long.
Anyway, it is important that both canteranos follow struggling by a place between the alternatives that stirs Ronald Koeman for the midfield culé. Since the only spare of guarantees that the Dutch has in the staff for this zone is Miralem Pjanic, exist big possibilities that any of the two can posit specifically like another option to offer rest to the players that are used to to occupy the squares of the double pivote.
Aleñá Carries the dispute with Puig
Clearly it exists something of internal competition between Carles Aleñá and Riqui Puig, since it is at stake the continuity of the two inside the club, at all more and at all less. That's why, although it was odioso, is careful to make a comparative between the participation that have had both from the arrival of Ronald Koeman to the technical direction of the picture culé.
Aleñá Carries , for now, the dispute by the leadership in front of Riqui Puig, since it has contested four meetings in what it goes of season, adding like this 145 minutes on the terrain of game. By his part, the exjugador the inferior categories of the Jabac I Terrassa only has attained to participate in three parties, with alone 53 minutes in thefield , almost 100 less than his mate and main competition.
