BARÇA'S NEW 'PROBLEM'
The time has come for difficult decisions for Xavi at Barça
FC Barcelona still has a lot to prove, but it has taken the first steps to show what wood it is made of. The players are at the highest level and it represents an 'extra' problem for Xavi Hernández and his technical staff
Guess the alignments of Xavi Hernández will be a task, as little, difficult. Up to now, it had been betting by an eleven very recognizable in the middle of his insistence for playing with four midfield players, but in the future immediate can change constantly by two reasons: the team has showed that it can play and surrender of positive way with several diagrams and, more important still, are more than eleven the players that 'deserve' be leading in this FC Barcelona.
The trainer egarense will have to deshojar the margarita to define if it bets by four means or sum a third attacker to his drawing. It will go rotando to measure of the needs that have the picture blaugrana in each party, but for the moment remains something very clear: they Are few the players that have his place guaranteeed and will begin the period of the difficult decisions to determine who plays and who no.
The big 'battles' that will have Xavi in the Barça
Except the goal, that will be backed by Marc-André ter Stegen in the majority of parties, in all the lines there will be competition to win a place. Beginning by the defence, everything seems to indicate to that so much Joao Cancel like Alejandro Balde will be indisputable in the sides, but in the axis of the retaguardia when it return Ronald Araújo there will be dispute. Beside him, they will be Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen and Iñigo Martínez 'litigating' by a place. Although the Basque aims to be the fourth head office, the others three are to be headlines. It will be 'impossible' know the bet of Xavi.
In the centre of the field will follow the difficult decisions for the trainer egarense. Up to now, in the majority of presentations has bet for playing with four means so that Oriol Romeu and Frenkie of Jong split from the base of the played, whereas two interiors form the square for 'contribute' in the attack. In this section, Ílkay Gündogan seems indisputable and, in paper, the another midfield player would be Pedri González... But what will happen with a Gavi that has played it all up to now and that has been important? Without explaining that, when they happen to play with the 4-3-3 and offensive trident, will have to do without a player. The task and requirement of the technical body will be maximum.
As if they no longer went few the -a lot of- decisions that will have to take in defence and medullary, Xavi will close with brooch of gold in an attack in which all want to and deserve to play. It is Robert Lewandowski, that is indisputable, Joao Félix, Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha. The Pole and the player formed in The Masia have been the only that have repeated titularity and have shared thrice on the lawn (in front of Cádiz,Villarreal and Osasuna), but this could change. All have showed to be 'of sweet' and will test the patience of the míster, that has to descartar -in a lot of cases- to three of them for his XI initial.
The meritocracia will be the key for Xavi in the Barça
As they aim from 'SPORT', especially in this season the meritocracia and what show in the trainings will be key to win a place on the lawn. Until it does a time the competition was not a lot of and was clear which would be the bet of the technical body, but the panorama has changed drastically in front of the individual level of each footballer in in this start of campaign. Xavi Hernández will have a hard work by in front.
