Araújo and Mingueza fight for a place in the eleven against Atlético

Ronald Koeman apparently does not have a lot of doubts in the eleven that will take out against the Athletic of Madrid this Saturday in the Camp Nou. The trainer barcelonista no 'will touch' a lot of his alignment and will have those that have carried him to compete by LaLiga to the end. However, no everything is decided and in the centre of the defence is not clear who will accompany to Gerard Hammered and to Clément Lenglet.

The big incógnita is to know if in the right in the saga of three will play Óscar Mingueza or Ronald Araújo​. Until this past weekend, the Catalan was being indisputable for the technician, that had he of start in ten parties of League of consecutive form. The one of Saint Perpètua of the Mogoda had won the place against all prognosis and even was playing by in front of an already recovered Araújo.

The central charrúa recovered does already almost two months, but since has not had grieve continuity. Of the nine meetings in which it has been available only has been headline intwo , against the Real Madrid in the Classical and in front of Valencia in the last day. It is very far of the extraordinary level that reached before lesionarse, but seems question of time that can recover it.

After the duel of Mestalla, in which Mingueza did not play neither a minute, gives the feeling that Koeman will trust Araújo against the Athletic. The Uruguayan is more conclusive, has more physical, character and defensivamente is upper, qualities that in a meeting of these dimensions can be important. However, the colchoneros could have phases of presionar a lot up and in this type of situations Óscar would be much more useful.

The Catalan is a very interesting resource to go out playing from backwards in front of high pressures like which could do the Atleti for incomodar to the blaugrana. Has more technical that Ronald, a better driving and more vision of game, virtues that Koeman values a lot. Nevertheless, if the Atleti decides to defend replegados backwards will not be so necessary that the saga go out playing, by what the sudamericano could be more useful.

The error of Mingueza against the Granada has gone out him expensive

It is necessary to remember that Mingueza committed a childish error against the Granada that cost the 1-1 of the nazarís. The 'punishment' of his trainer was the suplencia in front of Valencia, although it could prolong in case that it bet by Araújo. What yes seems clear is that I Hammered and Lenglet will complete the saga, since the '3' is indisputable and the French, although it follows to a low level, is left-handed and to the Dutch likes him a lot play with head offices on foot natural.
