Umtiti is neither here nor expected: disastrous match against Valladolid

This Tuesday, Ronald Koeman decided to agitate the coctelera and change the system of game to try improve the game offered during the last weeks. To fault of extremes, the Dutch trainer decided to give greater offensive leadership to the sides -Jordi Alba and to Sergiño Dest- protecting to the team backwards with a central more. But, neither playing with three defences, had prominence Samuel Umtiti.

The elected of Ronald Koeman were Ronald Araújo, Óscar Mingueza and Clément Lenglet that recovered the titularity after two parties followed like acting. Ronald Koeman decided to give him minutes to Samuel Umtiti in the second time, giving him gone in in the minute 71 when the marker already was of 0-3. The problem was that what had to be an opportunity so that the frank-Cameroonian claimed finish being another sample of the far that is of his best level.

Samuel Umtiti went back to show that it is totally out of rhythm, in some decadent physical conditions that do not allow him have speed or capacity of reaction. Besides, this fault of rhythm translates in a tremenda insecurity so much with balloon as without him and proof of this was a played in which it tried to dribble to a rival forward inside his own area and lost the balloon, although afterwards it could avoid the disaster with an entrance.

The case is that Samuel Umtiti was little more than 20 minutes on the terrain of game, sufficient time to show why is the last option of Ronald Koeman. The Dutch technician already smelt what was for coming with the frank-Cameroonian and did not want to have he to principle of season. The true is that a lot it will have to espabilar if it wants to have options to play, improving his concentration and his physical conditions.

In 2018, Umtiti left to be Umtiti

The problems that Samuel Umtiti has in his knee aim to be chronic and, from 2018, can not have continuity to be able to play several parties followed. Recurrentemente, has to stop to treat the knee, what does that it do not finish never to have the rhythm of necessary competition to reach his best level. In fact, from the FC Barcelona prioritises his sale from summer.

However, to day of today, the FC Barcelona has very few resources in defence and is thus that it has to hold on to all those that can recolectar until it do not open the market of winter. One of them is the own Samuel Umtiti, a player with experience and that, although it was in dropper, has to contribute what can. This yes, by the moment, is very by behind Ronald Araújo, Óscar Mingueza or Clément Lenglet.
