With a so tightened calendar, Koeman will rotate to his players?

Ronald Koeman since it arrived to the bench of the FC Barcelona has showed that it does not like him vary to his players for the parties, although yes it has changed his tactical system in different opportunities, but always with the same 12 or 13 footballers. In the horizon, during the next month and half, the Barcelona group will have a very tightened calendar and loaded of important meetings. It will be a period in which the Barça will have to show if it will struggle by the three titles in dispute.

LaLiga, Glass of Rey and Champions League will converge for the first time in the season and there are two possibilities: or the FC Barcelona shows his best level and 'stick' in the three competitions or, by the contrary, the tiredness happens bill to the footballers that carry more than six months without stopping and, thus, the team culé remains in a situation complicated of face to the dispute by the trophies to final of season.

It will be compulsory rotar to the players, although there are not a lot of options to do it. Ronald Koeman surely is configuring a plan to achieve that his players 'usual' surrender the most possible and can be available for the greater quantity of possible duels. The bad news is that there will be opportunity to go down the policeman, because of the committed situation that live the culés, at least in LaLiga, to ten points of the Athletic of Madrid, team that has strengthened in the leadership of the domestic competition.

Up to now, the Dutch technician has rotado, mainly, in the defensive saga, no because like this it wants it, but by the constant injuries and physical problems of the players. With the injury of Gerard Hammered and the relapse of Sergi Roberto, only remain available: Jordi Alba (adueñado of the position, with merits) and Junior Firpo for the left side, Óscar Mingueza, Ronald Araújo, Clement Lenglet and Samuel Umtiti like head offices, although the last two are in constant discussion by his last performances. In the right band, is Sergiño Dest, that could rotar with Mingueza.

In the centre of the field, the history complicates a bit more because Koeman trusts fully in Sergio Busquets, Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González. It has Miralem Pjanic or Riqui Puig but, as it has seen in the last weeks, are two players that finish being the second option for the technician. However, both have showed to be in a good level and will be moment to test them.

For the offensive blaugrana there are doubts, but the reality is that Lionel Messi, Oumane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann have gone back indisputable and his performances and figures goleadoras show it. Obviously, they will have to rest to arrive to the crashes against the Seville, in the Glass of Rey, or in front of the Paris Saint-Germain, in the eighth of final of the Champions. TrincãOr and Martin Braithwaite, by enden, will have the opportunity to add more minutes of the accustomed. Of the quarry, also could jump some surprises, as Konrad de la Fuente.

The players with more minutes

The 'resurrection' of the Barça in the 2021 has been impressive and, definitely, a surprise for the barcelonismo after a first stretch of the very irregular season. The contribution of footballers like Leo Messi, Jordi Alba, Araújo, Of Jong, Dembélé, Pedri or Griezmann has been fundamental, but also has brought his consequences, especially for the physicist of the players.

And it is that there is those who have played it everything in the last weeks and sometime will have to rest. The one who greater minutes is Of Jong, with 2.544, but follow himTo lba (2.238), Messi (2.229) and Griezmann (2.214). By his part, Pedri has accumulated 1.951 minutes and has contested all the official meetings in this campaign, less one in front of the Ferencváros in the UCL. Araújo, that has turned into the central of guarantees in Can Barça, carries 1.623 and has played nine of the last ten crashes in LaLiga, three in Glass of Rey and the two of the Supercopa of Spain.
