Griezmann bench: Ansu Fati, in the line-up against Valladolid

They remain two months so that it finalise 2019 and to the FC Barcelona expects him a dense calendar of parties, explaining the duels of LaLiga -so much intersemanales as anyway of week- and those that remain of the phase of groups of the Champions League. In front of this situation, Ernesto Valverde already has set up his plan of rotations to deliver minutes.

In the list of summoned, the absence of Arthur Melo by technical decision was the big surprise of the week. To the hour to give to know the alignment chosen by the Txingurri to confront to the Real Valladolid, there was another: Antoine Griezmann remained in the bench and Ansu Fati, after more than a month without playing neither an alone minute, went back to the titularity.

The French forward Is playing it practically all and, in front of the marathon of meetings that comes by in front, Valverde wanted to reserve him. The true is that the French is having some irregular starts in the FC Barcelona, where is able to shine as it did against the Eibar the past week or to happen totally unobserved as it did in Champions against the Slavia.

Griezmann Is allocated to have an important paper in the FC Barcelona, but still has to adapt to the style of game culé. In the Barça, sees forced to split from the left band and no from the centre, as it did it in the Athletic of Madrid, by what requires a process of readaptación in the forward. Besides, will have the competition of players like his compatriot Ousmane Dembélé​ -still sanctioned- or the own Ansu Fati.

Of course, the another expensive of the coin is the return to the team of an Ansu Fati to the that the barcelonismo already did weeks that asked. The extraordinary performance that gave the extreme youngster of 16 years at the beginning of season ilusionó to the fans, that already expected with anxieties go back to see him. In this occasion, the one of Guinea Bissau split in the eleven beside Leo Messi and to Luis Suárez.

Until the moment, still had not seen a trident formed by the Argentinian and the Uruguayan -totally indisputable- beside the young crack of the Masia. Ansu Fati Has an extraordinary projection and wants to him take care well, giving him opportunities in the first team without burning him neither put him pressure in crucial parties.
