Gerard Pique is one of the central more important of the world and a referent of the FC Barcelona in his position. With his injury in the defeat of the blaugranas in front of the Athletic of Madrid, lit the alarms in the bench of Ronald Koeman to consequence of the few (or non-existent) options that has the club to substitute him of face to the next meetings, where Ronald Araújo and Samuel Umtiti neither will be available.
Although Piqué it is one of the leaders of the defence culé and his presence in the terrain of game, especially in this season, has been extremely important by his intelligence and capacity to anticipate to the rivals, the Barça has not suffered in extreme when it has not been headline. In fact, in the last seven parties in which it has not been, in all the culés have obtained the victory.
The last time that the Barcelona regretted the absence of the central Catalan was in May of 2019, in a party in front of the Celtic of Vigo, when the ones of Ernesto Valverde fell 2-0 in Balaídos and the defensive axis the protagonizaro Todibo and Samuel Umtiti. In this clash, the current player of the Benfica was substituted in the minute 86 by Jeison Murillo by an injury.
From this clash, the Barcelona has not lost without the '3' comandando to the team from the defence. Seven parties without him, have meant seven victories for the blaugranas. The first of the account was in front of the Eibar, when I Hammered lost the duel by accumulation of cards and the Barça won it by three goals. The two following, in the Champions League, also finished with victories. The first, in front of the Borussia Dortmund, the central was fulfilling the sanction by, again, accumulation of cards. In front of the Inter, the Catalan rested by already be classified (3-1 and 1-2, respectively).
In the past season, in the Glass of Rey, Hammered did not travel to Ibiza by rest and, although it was a party more than complicated, the Barça achieved the victory by 1-2. The two last of the 2019-2020 lost by them to him cycle of cards (in front of the Betis 2-3) and rest, in front of the Alavés in the last day of LaLiga (0-5).
With Koeman, the Barça has won without Hammered
Since the Dutch technician is in the benches of the Barcelona, has had to confront in an opportunity to go out to the field without his head office of confidence. It was in the party of gone against the Juventus in the phase of groups of the Champions League. I hammered it had been expelled in the previous meeting, in front of the Ferencváros and the Barça achieved some importantísimos three points in Turín, with Araújo and Lenglet in the centre of the Barcelona defence.
However, although in theory the visit of the Barcelona to the stadium Lobandvsky Dynamo would not have to complicate, the club lives a very distinct situation to the one of the past month, when it travelled to Turín without Hammered. The Barça arrives with a central solo of the first staff (Lenglet) and without Of Jong, the one who there was suplido the absence of the central French and Araújo until the moment.
