FC Barcelona receives Valencia at the Camp Nou, for the ninth day of LaLiga, in a complicated position and with only one option: add the three points

After two weeks without football to level of clubs by the stop of selections, the FC Barcelona returns to the Camp Nou to contest his first party with 100% of capacity in the feudo Barcelona, in front of Valencia that it wants to improve his dynamics after several 'tropiezos' in the last days. The Barça, in any case, is not in his best moment and are many the ghosts that has to leave backwards the team so that, as it aimed Ronald Koeman in press conference, the culés can be candidates to the title.

The balloon will throw to run to the 21:00 hours (in Spain) and the Barça has an only option: add the three points and improve the feelings in the beginning of a week 'candente', with two parties more than will be complicated: in front of the Dinamo of Kiev, by the third day of the phase of groups of the Champions League, and later against the Real Madrid, all in the Camp Nou. Seven days to give back the illusion to the fanatical in the terracings and, especially, avoid a catastrophe.

And it is that the reality is that the Barça is in a moment very worrisome and returns to the Camp Nou after two 'pricks' followed: in front of the Benfica (3-0) and Athletic of Madrid (2-0). In LaLiga, occupy the ninth square and will be important to win for recortar distances regarding the two leaders, that will remain without playing in this weekend. For this, are many the appearances in which the group culé has to improve, but there is good news of face to the party:

The first is that Ronald Koeman recovers effective, being the case in specific of Sergio the 'Kun' Agüero, the one who could debut finally like player of the FC Barcelona, but also Jordi Alba, that aims to be headline, and Pedri González that it already is recovered. Nevertheless, the best news of all is that Ansu Fati, after almost a year, aims to be headline with the Barça. The nightmare of his injury has finish and, after testing in the last parties, the canterano is in conditions to play from the start... And that is the best 'signing' possible to litigate by LaLiga.

Another good news is that the Barça can 'take advantage of' that Valencia is not in his best form and that in the last parties has left feelings found. The ones of José Bordalás have added two points in his last four parties, remembering the defeats in front of the Real Madrid (2-1), Seville (3-1) and ties in front of the Athletic (1-1) and Cádiz (0-0). The 'ché' do not cross his best moment, but will recover to three important players to try add in the Camp Nou: José Luis Gayà, Soler or Cheryshev, in addition to a Maxi Gómez that it lost the last party by sanction.

The obligations of the Barça

With alone 12 points in the classification, the FC Barcelona can not allow leave new points on the way and against Valencia, full of Barcelona in the terracings, the team has to show a distinct face and take care to commit silly errors. In the defence, will be key that the defenders do not leave spaces, because it is not a secret that Maxi or Soler are very dangerous when they find hollow. Of the same way, the sides have to assume chevrons and apurar the attacks by the bands, something that has been missing in the last parties.

Memphis, Ansu Fati, Coutinho or those who are the headlines in the attack, have to 'shake' the bad series that have accumulated in the most recent meetings. The fault of goal has been condemning to the culés and it is necessary to detain it... With the new 'alternative', would have to improve the situation, but will be key that look for the goal at all times to try 'sentence' the party from early.
