Two faces and a big Arthur in the première of the Barça 2018-19

Première of the season 2018-19 for the FC Barcelona. Or, better said, of a pre-season still without the presence of the majority of heavy weights of the team, but yes with players more than ilusionantes as they are the young promises of the Barça B and the new signings of the first team, two of the which, Arthur Melo and Lenglet, were headlines and left big feelings on the lawn. Precisely Arthur Melo would be the big protagonist of the first-half with a golazo, joined to the so much initial of a Munir The Haddadi that claimed from the minute one.

And it is that, although this Barça still finds under construction, of the cumulus of players that has carried Valverde to United States can extract some conclusions. The first, that there are players that will abandon of imminent way the staff of the first team, as they are the cases of Lucas Digne or André Gomes.

The second, that exists a group of footballers that at present are the 'covered' of the staff, but that along the next season 2018-19 can be very important if Ernesto Valverde gives them ball. Arthur Melo, that debuted today with the Barça, made a party of the most interesting with balloon and without balloon, topping it with his golazo from out of the area and interpreting very all the situations of the party.

His target would not have been possible, however, without the assistance of Rafinha Alcántara, that gave the two passes of goal of the first-half when having assisted minutes before to Munir The Haddadi, the one who cabeceó from the small area to mark the first goal of the FC Barcelona in this pre-season.

Good level the showed by these three players, of the same way that others like Nélson Semedo in the right side, with continuous offensive rises, and especially Sergi Roberto, the one who acted in the position of Sergio Busquets and contributed a big consistency to the team.

In the second part, Valverde moved the bench and no only went in the majority of players of the Barça B, included the sides Palencia and Cururella, but it also debuted Malcom Filipe, the last signing of the FC Barcelona 2018-19, that closed does hardly some days but already knows what is enfundarse officially the elastic Barcelona.

The Tottenham empató in the second part

With the big majority of players of the Barça B, and in front of a Tottenham that began to take out to some key players, the 'spurs' were clearly upper in the second half. To fault of little more than a chamber of hour for the end, in fact, Are and N'Koudou' took advantage of both played full of refuse to send the balloon at the end of the goal and empatar the party.

Eriksen, Davies, Are, Lucas... The players with more rigour and maturity futbolística of the Tottenham began to carburar, and to the FC Barcelona did him very complicated defend the constants confined offensive of the 'spurs'. Two parts differentiated for the Barça, but in any good case première for the ones of Ernesto Valverde in this International Champions Cup.

With the pitido final, the meeting left to the batch of penaltis, where the launchings of Palencia, Abel Ruiz, Monchu, Riqui Puig, Malcom and a big intervention of Cillessen, to shot of Georgiou, served so that the FC Barcelona carried the moral triumph (5-3) in front of almost 67.000 viewers that lived in direct the party in Rose Bowl.
