Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona yielded to Iñaki Crag, the goalkeeper of the filial, to the Galatasaray so that it was the immediate substitute of Fernando Muslera while this recovered of an injury. The youngster guardameta has been the feeling of the team in the last commitments, where has showed solid under the three sticks and no still does not know the defeat.

With 22 years, the Valencian has broken the record of cut across of the season for the Turkish, in where it attained to avoid four of the five shots to the arch that received in his debut in front of the Alanyaspor. However, another shot that neither has overlooked is his good control and use of the feet, a classical characteristic of the players that have dressed the elastic Barcelona.

Also in his first party for the 'lions', the born in Alicante completed 27 of the 38 passes that made, having a better exert that several midfield players of the first team. Alexandry Cicaldau With 9 of 25 passes, Taylan Antalyali with 21 of 36 and Berkan Kutlu with 25 of 46, had an inferior register that the goalkeeper culé.

The press has not remained of 'arms crossed' and has kidded with this statistics. Serkan Akkoyun, one of the first journalists in joining to the current, has declared with humour: "If the Galatasaray does not achieve a midfield player, Crag can play there when it return Muslera. Has better performance that Bekan and Taylan", added doing emphasis in the good touch of ball of Iñaki.

Immediate relief?

Although Crag still is very young and is hardly desarrollandose like archer in First Division, his projection can carry it to occupy the titularity in any one of the two teams. By the moment, the presence of Ter Stegen inside the eleven of Xavi Hernández is indisputable. The German is one of the captains of the team, and from his arrival, has been a guarantee in a lot of occasions. On the other hand, Muslera is an icon in Turkey, but his 35 years of age can yield it prompt to a flat second.

The true is that his career like footballer is beginning and the good performances add little by little to his curriculum. It seems that his immediate future is in the country otomano, but the possibility that it can be part of the first team of the Barça rise in each minute that happens inside the terrain of game.
