Xavi Hernández will start the season with a problem in his line of attack: He has more wingers than he needs or could use in his approach. The downside is that probably none will be out this summer.

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona has begun the pre-season and the feelings have not been very positive. To the team is missing him a lot of shooting and will be necessary that Xavi Hernández work in his approach so that it was so reliable as it was it in the past season, but have given the first step and in the future only remains to improve. There is staff with what do it, but before will have that take decisions complicated.

In the middle of all what has to improve the Barça before the debut in LaLiga, against the Getafe on 13 August, the subject of the forward will be on the table because there is 'overbooking' in the extremes. To day of today, has Ousmane Dembélé, Raphinha, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and Ez Abde, when it will be able to use maximum to two players to accompany to the insustituible Robert Lewandowski.

Peligran The extremes of the Barça

In the party against the Arsenal, with which debuted in turns it of pre-season by United States, Xavi opted by a trident in the attack, with Raphinha and Ez Abde like mates of 'Lewy'. However, it foresees that in the season the trainer will opt by the same approach that used in the past course and that gave him good results: play with four midfield players, with one of them like false extreme by the left.

With this approach, would have to do without an attacker, by what would remain four footballers in the bench expecting by an opportunity. Of there that it exist the doubt of if the Barça would have to do without an extreme of face to the next course. The doubt is big, because so much Abde, like Raphinha, Dembélé and Ansu left good feelings.

It will go out a player this summer?

For the moment, everything seems to indicate that it will not go out any player. Ansu Fati And Ferran Torres were those who split with options to do his cases, but both have the intention to fulfil his agreement and litigate by a place in the plans of Xavi. The only option would be the one of Ez Abde, but the trainer is adherent that it remain because it is an interesting profile that does not have at present in the staff.
