The visit to Sound Moix was marked by an interesting version of the Catalan group, that showed that has some subjects for improving but that in general lines has not decomposed by fault of an excessively prolonged stop. This yes, the rotations will have to be a constant.

In the last weeks have produced some frights in the changing room, where fortunately have not jumped the alarms with the injuries. The first in falling was Samuel Umtiti but had time to recover , although it was reserved in the first commitment that the culés contested in almost three months. Also they suffered annoyances Leo Messi and Nélson Semedo, but there was not neither trace of problems in the minutes that contested.

The one who has activated slightly the alarms is Frenkie of Jong, that had to be substituted at the end of the meeting by a slight ailment.

"The result has facilitated us the changes and more or less have done what wanted to do, except the last of Frenkie of Jong, that has asked the replacement when had thought another. Had some annoyances that expect that they are not at all", explained the preparador Cantabrian in the press conference post-split.

In any case, the míster already contemplates a strategy of rotations in which all will go having rest, and although to ones will touch them more and to others less, his intention is to keep to the staff enchufada: "I Want that the people was cool and this goes us to help because the level that have in the staff will allow it to us. I expect that all contribute what have to contribute. We will try to use the most convenient in each moment".
