Koeman fuels The battle between Umtiti and Lenglet

The Barcelona explains at present with the unpleasant news of the injury of Ronald Araújo, the one who has suffered a sprain in his left ankle, ailment that arose during the party in front of the Betis, the past Sunday. This sudden drop, instead of giving him space to two of the central more experienced of the club, as they are it Samuel Umtiti and Clément Lenglet, feeds the competition between both by the titularity.

The proof of this could observe in the decision of Koeman, in view of the injury of Araújo. Instead of giving entrance to Umtiti, the one who, inside the papers, would be the natural spare of the charrúa, preferred to give entry to Of Jong and do it play of head office, although this is not the position of the Dutch.

The reason of this movement was explained by Koeman in the back press conference to the party, being the one of the Barcelona trainer an acceptable argument to having acted as it did it. Apropos his actions, the same explained: "it likes Me more have a right-handed and a left-handed like couple of head offices. Dest Had annoyances yesterday and was not to play so much time in the party. We have opted by Frenkie"

What indicates this thought of Ronald Koeman is that, in spite of the injury of Araújo and of the experience of Umtiti, the French does not have a place ensured in the eleven headline. It will have to struggle with his compatriot Lenglet by the place of left-handed central defender, since both share said profile and, as any of the two lives his best moment, the competition could avivarse more than ever.

Lenglet And his advantage in front of Umtiti

Clément Lenglet has a characteristic that gives him something of advantage in front of Samuel Umtiti, in the fight by the titularity in the place of left-handed central defender in the diagram of Ronald Koeman. It treats of the speed of the exjugador of the Seville, which is notoriously upper to the one of the ex Olympique of Lyon and can be a factor determinant to the hour to play.

Taking in account that the next party of the Barcelona is in front of the Seville, team that has agile and swift players like Suso and In-Nesyri, no extrañaría see to Lenglet again like titling. In spite of this, the fight by the place of left head office has reavivado and it will be necessary to be slopes of the exert of the two footballers of which has Koeman for said place, in pro to choose to the aptest at present.
