Calendar of FC Barcelona

This Sunday at night, the FC Barcelona will première the season of official way. It will be in the Camp Nou to contest the third day of LaLiga Santander -the two first parties of the Barcelona group were postponed for no abarrotar the calendar culé- against a hard rival like the Villarreal, that has added four of the six points played to date.

The duel against the picture castellonense will be also the debut of Ronald Koeman in an official party like trainer of the first team of the FC Barcelona. It had directed to the equoipo in the friendly against the Gimnàstic of Tarragona, the Girona and the Elche, but finish the proofs. The Dutch technician will have to take out maximum rendibilidad to the little time that has had to prepare his sportive project, loaded of changes.

Until the moment, the Dutch has left clear that the 4-2-3-1 will be his system of game, with a double pivote to generate football and a line of half tips to back to the false leading centre, since without Luis Suárez and with Martin Braithwaite in the ramp of exit, it will be necessary to reconvert to some player to '9'. Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann are those that more options have to play like reference, with the French with light advantage.

Like this the things, the logic invites to think that, with the 'principito' situated like man more advanced, Leo Messi will split from behind with full freedom of movements, although it is not clear if it will do it like mediapunta by the centre or from the right band. A priori, seem to be that it will be Philippe Coutinho -that has begun the pre-season to a big level- the one who play by the centre, with the Argentinian star splitting from the right but moving with freedom.

In this case, it would be Ansu Fati the one who would occupy the position of left extreme to complete the line of half tips. On the paper, these would be the four headlines in the forward of the FC Barcelona, although also there would be options so that Ousmane Dembélé or Francisco Trincao -in replacement of the bissauguineano- split of start in the right band, escorando to Philippe Coutinho to the left and to Leo Messi by behind Antoine Griezmann.

The rest of the team, defined

On the other hand, Ronald Koeman has entirely clear who will form by behind this line of three mediapuntas and a forward. With Marc-André ter Stegen lesionado, Net derá the goalkeeper; the defence will be formed by Sergi Roberto, Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet and Jordi Alba; whereas Frenkie of Jong and Sergio Busquets will form the double pivote. Except capital surprise, like this will be the first eleven official of the FC Barcelona this season.
