In the big teams is complicated to manage a wide staff, in which it has to have cracks but tambien secondary of luxury. After some years with shortage of solutions, the Barça begins to have a bench with alternatives for the eleven

Calendar of FC Barcelona

To Ernesto Valverde does not like him work with changing rooms very wide, but to his arrival to the Barça asked a wash of face of a staff in which it wanted several high and quite a lot of drops. Finally, neither they have arrived neither they have gone all the pretended, but the attitude, the performance and the results of this start of course have done that the movements in the market do not remain so distinguished.

One of the positive conclusions that left the European victory against the Juventus is that in addition to the team of gala, the technician can enter changes that improve or equalise to the footballers that already has in thefield , and this is another good news after some years in which it had been missing confidence in the bench.

In the Camp Nou were Sergi Roberto, Paulinho and André Gomes those who went in, but equally Deulofeu, Denis Suárez or Mascherano had been available. Perhaps some do not arrive to the level of the headlines, but is clear that they are footballers perfectly able.

In spite of everything, and although it would require a greater effort in the management of motivations, egos and minutes, the Barça does not lose of sight the market to look for some reinforcements in winter, since the season will be very long and the wear can penalise the performance in some stretches of the campaign. The ideas of Valverde are demanding, but the trainer this had to everything with such to guide to his team to the titles.

All involved

Although it is true that the new Barcelona technician already has showed his preference by some players to the hour to elaborate his alignments, also is it that in the changing room has calado the message that there will be opportunities for all. A good sample is the situation of André Gomes, that has happened to be descartado to add minutes in the last parties, in which it has showed, like minimum, a very distinct attitude to previous occasions.

Also it is to review the presence of Javier Mascherano and Lucas Digne training in the Sportive City of the Barça in the free day of the staff. Both aim to the eleven headline in Getafe, and have not wanted to lose time to prepare in depth for the meeting. Already they have arrived the rotations in a course that promises to be important, and in the Camp Nou any help explains.
