The FC Barcelona has signed an important triumph in his visit to the Port wine that has allowed him remain with the leadership of his group, but are many the corrections that has to do Xavi Hernández so that the team can 'compete' in this Champions League. The party left to a few players that have revalorizado and imposed , as Jules Koundé, Ronald Araújo and Marc-André ter Stegen, but others that have remained very distinguished, as it is the case of Oriol Romeu.
It was not a surprise that the midfield player went the big doubt in the initial alignment of the blaugrana. In the previous argued if, in front of the absence of Frenkie of Jong, was preferable that Ílkay Gündogan occupied the position of the pivote to give solidity and more game between lines to the team. Finally, the trainer egarense bet by the most traditional option, with Romeu in the mediocentro and nailed between the two head offices, but the bet remained him very short. Fortunately, there were not greater consequences.
And it is that it neither surprised that the one of Ulldecona went the first player substituted, with Joao Félix, although it did not have yellow cardboard (Gavi himself, for example, and finished expelled). It was removing him a course to the team and gave 'flasbacks' of the last years of Sergio Busquets in parties of maximum physical requirement and speed... Of those that are common in Europe each week. Oriol Romeu, that went to the battle without Frenkie of Jong, went probably the Barcelona player more signalled of the night in Do Dragao.
Oriol Romeu, surpassed in front of the pressure of the Port wine
It remained very short, more than the account, and gave the reason to the reason remained in the bench against the Royal Amberes and that, if they are all the available midfield players, would be acting in Europe. The ex of the Girona was very slow and went the culprit of ralentizar to the blaugrana. It was a memory of the European nights of 'Busi', but with the bad fortune that it neither has a lot of resources to compensate the fault of speed and agility in front of the aggressive pressure of the Portuguese.
For the Barça was vital that Gündogan approached to the base of the played to be able to 'hold' to the Port wine, but has remained clear that Romeu needs of a second pivote to show his best version. Of there that it have stood out so much in the first parties, because had at the side to a Frenkie of Jong that 'attached' more the balloon and broke lines, while the one of Ulldecona braked more attacks. Without the Dutch, especially in big stages, to Oriol does not give him. And there was not how compensate it.
