The FC Barcelona changed this weekend his list of summoned, and for the first time after the stop did not arrive to the 23 players allowed. Between lesionados and sanctioned -and with a planning that leaves enough that wish-, Quique Setién had to trace a new route for the duel against the Real Valladolid, in which it shelved to several promises with which was working. The decision of the technician has an explanation.
The filial has begun to prepare the eliminatory of promotion to Second Division, by what the míster has 'given back' to several perlas. The pupilos of Francisco Javier García Pepper have to surpass three rounds to plant in the category of silver, and for this complicated mission have recovered to references like Iñaki Crag, Álex Hill or Monchu, that in this time of inactivity had supported to the 'greater' in trainings and covering his bench but had not enjoyed of minutes, something that yes sucedió with varied of his mates.
This situation is something more complicated for Ansu Fati, Riqui Puig and Ronald Araújo, pillars of the Barça B and usual of the first team. The forward has had prominence during all the season with Ernesto Valverde and the quoted Setién, the midfield player has won it to him after the resumption of the course and the central, although it has taken more in going in, is being an important support because of the fragility of Samuel Umtiti.
The calendar of LaLiga bumps with the one of the promotion, and for the moment, for these three cracks, the priority will be the fight by the title. If the Real Madrid surpasses to Granada and Villarreal, will confront to the Leganés with the trophy in the pocket, but if 'puncture' and the Catalans impose to Osasuna, the last day against the Sportive Alavés will have it everything at stake. The commitments against the 'pepineros' and the vitorianos will be in a day unified the day 19 July, precisely the date in which it starts the playoff of promotion.
This same Monday, the Barça B travels to Málaga, that will be headquarters of the crosses, and is for seeing how will manage these three reinforcements. It has especulado with the possibility that Setién yield to Riqui and Araújo, to which could cover with other footballers. The problem is that Ansu is indispensable, since the forward limits to Leo Messi, Luis Suárez and Martin Braithwaite because Ousmane Dembélé and Antoine Griezmann are lesionados. In the next days, and in function of how advance the championship of the regularity, could take decisions.
The double prize of the promotion of the filial
Although LaLiga have more weight for the interests of the Barça, the promotion would have a sportive and economic prize. On the one hand, it would facilitate the task of the club to the hour to manage to his perlas, to which could have in a more demanding and competitive tournament and at the same time manually for any need of the first team. In the maltrechas arks of the entity also bet by three triumphs of the boys of García Pepper, that between income by television, taquillaje and other plots, could generate profits that rondarían the 10 million euros. There is a lot at stake.
