As already sucedió does some weeks in front of the Juventus, the FC Barcelona faces a test of maximum requirement in his visit to Wanda Metropolitan. In the stadium rojiblanco expects the Athletic of Madrid, one of the best groups of the world and an usual in the fight by the titles. The Catalans will put his imbatibilidad at stake in the capital, and Ernesto Valverde already plans like aiming another victory.
In what it goes of season has gone warning with his decisions -and with his own words- that out of house is where his team will play the possibilities to raise the trophies, and if they are forbidden the distractions in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez of Getafe, more are it in the new feudo 'colchonero'.
It has proposed it in varied of his commitments to domicile, but this time the 4-4-2 of the Txingurri seems the best option against an Athletic that will try to win the battle in the centre of the field. The one who achieve it will have a lot of options to carry the party, and against the virtues that present the Madrilenian requires more than ever a solid and efficient team.
The physical waste is one of the signals of identity in the notebook of Diego Simeone, and an eleven with too many roads of water could pay any error in front of a host with win to do blood. The rojiblancos need the three points not to move away even more of the leadership, and even a tie could do that they lost positions.
Without forgetting the attack
If the defence is one of the greater qualities of the Athletic, the attack is one of the ones of the Barça, and will be indispensable that work to perfection to go back to the City Condal with a triumph in the pocket. With the team of Valverde still in growth, the 4-4-2 system has presented to date some jam in offensive tasks, and against the big wall 'colchonera' any failure is decisive.
The inspiration perpétua of Leo Messi will be the greater argument for the Barcelona, but does not have to be the only of a team that wants to show prepared to do something big. Luis Suárez, Rakitic or Paulinho have showed that will be to back to the Argentinian, but the invited surprise like Busquets always are welcome to the hour to show that the plans of the Txingurri work.
