Barça visits Athletic Bilbao in San Mamés this Saturday, in the match corresponding to matchday 2 of LaLiga. Koeman is bound to bring out his best lineup
The FC Barcelona visits this Saturday from the 22:00 hours the stadium of Saint Mamés to confront to the Athletic of Bilbao in the party of the second day of LaLiga Santander 2021-2022. The blaugrana arrive after a spectacular beginning in the domestic championship with a victory importantísima in front of the Real Sociedad the past end of sema, with goleada included (4-2).
In the second 'proof' of the ones of Koeman, the intention is to keep the good performance and declare his intentions to do with the leadership, at least provisional, of the domestic championship. For this, will have to win to a group bilbaíno that, although it began the course with a tie (0-0 vs the Elche), is a team that always tries to complicate him the parties to the Barça and that has players with a lot of offensive potential that, if the culés are not attentive, can turn into a true nightmare for the defensive saga.
Of there that Ronald Koeman can not reserve absolutely at all for the party and have to configure the eleven more competitive with what has in his staff. It expects that they do not have changes regarding the players that were headlines in the first day of LaLiga, in front of the Real Sociedad, with the opportunity of 'revolutionise' to the team in the second part with changes to promote the attack, if it was necessary, or directly to give him rest to the footballers 'fixed'. To continuation, our forecast of the alignments:
Possible alignments for the Athletic-Barça
- XI of the Athletic Club of Bilbao: Agirrezabala; Lekue, Yeray, Íñigo Martínez, Balenziaga; Dani García, Victorious; Williams, Muniain, Berenguer; Raúl García.
- XI of the FC Barcelona: Net; Dest, Hammered, Eric García, Jordi Alba; Of Jong, Busquets, Pedri; Griezmann, Braithwaite and Memphis.
Net
In front of the absence of Marc-André ter Stegen, Net Walled has dressed to title indisputable for the FC Barcelona. The guardameta Brazilian was very hit in the pre-season (especially in Joan Gamper, in front of the Juventus), to the equal that in front of the Real Sociedad, in front of which did not have a lot work. Little it could do in the two goals in front of the 'realistic' and great confidence with the elastic culé. Iñaki Crag can substitute him, in case of surprise.
Dest-Hammered-Eric-Alba
The defensive solidity is one of the aims of Ronald Koeman for the 'new Barça' in this season. For the crash in front of the 'lions', is more than likely that repeat his defensive line with Sergiño Dest in the right side, Gerard Hammered and Eric García directing the axis and Jordi Alba by the left band. It is necessary to remember, besides, that are available Emerson Royal or Sergi Roberto, in case that Dest was not available, to the equal that Ronald Araújo and Clément Lenglet to substitute to the central.
Of Jong-Busquets-Pedri
In the centre of the field there are few doubts or directly any. Ronald Koeman follows betting by his players 'fixed' in the medullary, with Sergio Busquets directing the midfield and Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González like interiors. They are the 'brain' of the Barça and the confidence of the Dutch technician in the three is absolute. Like spares, will be available Sergi Roberto, Nico González or Riqui Puig, three players with which the one of Zaandam has explained in the pre-season and in the beginning of LaLiga.
Griezmann-Braithwaite-Memphis
In the era 'post-Messi', the trident conformed by Antoine Griezmnn by the right, Memphis Depay in the left and the Danish Martin Braithwaite like tip, begins to ilusionar. Already in the première in LaLiga combined to perfection and were directly related in the goals of the Barça, with a doublet of Braithwaite, in way 'nine' pure, showing that the culés do not have reason go out to the market. Against the Bilbao, will have to be very alerts to surpass to the defence and 'colarse' in the area of Agirrezabala, with a defence that already complicated enough to the culés the past course.
