The FC Barcelona begins this Saturday in Butarque a crucial week of face to LaLiga and the Champions League. In the horizon remain the party of the Wednesday in Turín against the Juventus or the one of the next Sunday in Mestalla front Valencia. The team of Ernesto Valverde does not want to begin with a trip in front of the Leganés in spite of that it is conscious that treats of a split cheat, so much by the dimensions of the field as by the good football of his rival.
The parties contested after a stop by selections always are complicated. A lot of players have arrived affected physically by the 'virus FIFA' and, as each meeting contested in these circumstances, will be complicated. In the last precedent, the Barcelona team rascó a point of Wanda Metropolitan in front of the Athletic. This week the rival, although it also is Madrilenian, is distinct. It treats of a wolf with skin of lamb. Of a modest team but that has turned into the fourth less goleado of the championship.
The Leganés arrives to the party in front of the FC Barcelona after having lost in front of the Seville and Valencia. A flavour agridulce. Sour, logically by the defeats. Dulce because, in spite of losing, the Leganés was able to shut to Valencia, second of LaLiga, in his area during all the first time. Only the luck that the valencianistas had in Mestalla avoided that the Leganés put in aprietos to one of the solidest teams of the country.
The dangers of the Leganés
The Barça will measure to the Leganés with quite a lot of drops in the announcement. One of the most sensitive is the one of Javier Mascherano, that will force to Valverde to play with Gerard Hammered and Samuel Umtiti. Both know that if they see a yellow would lose the crucial duel against the Valency of the next day. A data that will not happen unobserved in Butarque, where have arguments of leftovers to take advantage of this mental weakness that can have the Barcelona head offices.
His offensive potential resides in authentic puñales like Szymanowsky, the swift left extreme or Amrabat, flamante signing of the Madrilenian that has turned into one of the offensive references. Another of the big exponents of the Leganés is Gabriel Pires, the brain by which are used to to happen the majority of the played of the team. On the other hand, it treats of one of the solidest teams defensivamente of the category. Only they have fit eight so many in 11 days of LaLiga. Elements that turn it into a party complicated after a week of international wear.
