Another opportunity for Pjanic: He will play against Athletic for Busquets

Sergio Busquets saw his fifth yellow card of the season in the Martínez Valero. The one of Badia, therefore, will have to fulfil a party of sanction and will lose the meeting against the Athletic Club of this Sunday in the Camp Nou. The FC Barcelona had hopes that the Committee of Competition removed it to him, but finally confirmed the punishment and the mediocentro will not be available for Ronald Koeman

In front of the absence of the international Spanish, there is not any doubt that the Dutch trainer will resort to Miralem Pjanic​​. The bosnio did not play neither an alone minute in Vallecas this Wednesday and everything aims that it will go out of start the Sunday. In League, the one of Tuzla only has played when the technician has wanted to give him rest to the '5' or when the Spanish has not been available. In this case, it will be by the second and the Balkan will be to title by fourth time in what it goes of championship.

In these moments, the reality is that the ex of the Juventus of Turín is acting for his trainer. Busquets is the headline in the mediocentro, whereas the interiors are for Frenkie of Jong and Pedri. The Balkan, therefore, has to show that it can compete of you to you against them, especially against Sergio, since it is like pure midfield player as more it has stood out these last years.

In front of the Athletic goes to have a new opportunity to shine and convince to Koeman, that up to now does not have enamoured precisely of his game. In this cargadísimo month of January in which the Barcelona has played until 8 parties, Pjanic so alone has been headline in one of them. It was in Glass, against the Cornellà, and the true is that the '8' did not happen of the approved raspado. Besides, it fits to stand out that of these 8 crashes, the ex bianconero remained without playing in three.

The situation of Miralem in the Barça is more than complicated and for this reason needs 'go out' against the 'lions' this Sunday. If it achieves to complete a good performance, the Barcelona win and the team works with him like brain, perhaps the technician of Zaandam begin to see to the of Tuzla with other eyes. In the short term, Busquets will keep on being indisputable, but is possible that if the bosnio goes up his level, the competition between both begin to be real.

An important party, but no definite

Nevertheless, whatever happens against the Athletic, to Koeman does not go him to remain another that have the Balkan from time to time so that Sergio rest. The one of Badia is 32 years old and is evident that can not play it everything. In this sense, his spare is the ex of the Juve, by what 'fail' against the Basques will not be definite. Although it is true that not giving the face in a duel like this himself could go out him expensive to eyes of the barcelonismo, that asks him more from his arrival.
