'It touch' of attention or rest? Koundé, acting by 1ª time from November

One of the surprises in the day of today, perhaps the only in the approach of the FC Barcelona in front of the Almería, went the absence of Jules Koundé in the eleven headline culé, especially if it values that Xavi Hernández no escatimó when putting all his best pieces for the clash in front of the 'indálicos' (3-2). The French was not acting from the duel of turn of the Champions in front of the Shakhtar (2-1), what has begun to raise speculations around if the suplencia against the Andalusians has been by a deserved rest or answers to a technical question.

The doubt arises from the recent performances of the Parisian, since acting so much of lateral as of defender, has desentonado notoriously, being perhaps one of the feeblest links of a defence that has not seen hit in the last commitments, fitting, explaining the two of this day, until 10 annotations in his last four (Girona, Amberes, Valencia), in situations increasingly inverosímiles.

It sent Xavi a 'message' to Koundé with his suplencia?

Although anybody doubts of his quality contrasted like guardian of the Barcelona bottom, also is true that from his injury seems to have gone back in an improper level of his hierarchy. Perhaps the recent performance that has generated more comments is the one of the party against the Amberes, where saw him flaquear in more than an opportunity, giving even a target that, fortunately for him, did not go up to the electronic because of an offside milimétrico of Janssen.

Independently of this, in other commitments as against the Girona or, going a bit further back, against the Alavés, where went widely surpassed by Samu Omorodion, showing a different performance that seems to go further of a physical subject, turning into a subject of confidence and staged.

Nevertheless, also it exists the possibility that it could be enjoying of a brief rest, since from his return of the injury has played practically all the parties with the club. This could suggest that the technical body has decided to give him a partial rest in a commitment that, in theory, did not go to be of big offensive requirement, although it finished being it. In fact, in front of the change in the offensive aspirations of the Almería, the one of Terrassa decided to resort to he, giving him 45 minutes in which it showed hit in the actions that had, standing out in the aerial game when winning two of three duels and intercept a balloon, being partícipe in a commitment that required to finish to close it to defensive level.
