The great sacrifice of Xavi in defense in the face of the Clasico

The tie in front of the Inter of Milan (3-3) in the Camp Nou had like big protagonist to the defensive disaster of the FC Barcelona. The three goals fit in the second half in front of the Italians seems that it goes to have consequences in the short term because Xavi Hernández has clear that have to make adjust in the defensive line, this very in spite of the injuries that accumulates the team.

After the almost elimination of the Champions League in the phase of groups, the technician is considering to go back to send to the bench to Gerard Hammered with the idea to have a much faster defence for the Classical in front of the Real Madrid. The central remained clearly signalled in the first and in the third goal of the Italians and also had at least other two errors that finish amended by Ter Stegen and his unemployed.

The key to seat to Hammered goes through the recovery of Koundé, that seems that will have the high doctor before the next Sunday. Xavi knows that the team lives moments complicated and that have to take drastic decisions and although it is not of the type of trainers that force to the footballers that go out of injury, the current circumstances tighten and Koundé will play in front of the merengues if it is smart.

At least two solutions

The French already is training to good rhythm and aims to be headline if his feelings continue being good. The presence of Koundé will do that I Hammered pass to the bench yes or yes, still when the French could play like side and in the centre of the defence surely would be Eric García and Marcos Alonso, whereas in the left-handed side, Xavi would have to decide if it plays with Balde or Jordi Alba.

Another of the options for the Barça is that Balde was lateral right-handed and Koundé play like head office beside Eric whereas Marcos Alonso would happen to the left-handed side. Xavi knows that it has to resolve the defensive fragility that has had in front of the injuries of Christensen, Koundé and Araujo, three footballers that had to be fixed in the axis of the saga. Finally it has had to resort to I Hammered, but the experiment has not resulted and in the Bernabéu will not be at stake only three points.
