The FC Barcelona confronts this Sunday to the Milan in the International Champions Cup, and while apura the last hours of turns it American, begins to think in the official commitments. This month of August will do an important transition from the pre-season until a campaign that starts with a lot of strength, what could leave see some of the approaches for the next weeks.
In Levi's Stadium of Santa Clara, Ernesto Valverde could give some tracks of the initial alignment that will present in the Supercopa of Spain, that will cross him, finally in Tangier, with the Seville to only party. First it has to gather to the staff in the City Condal and check the state of the mundialistas, but the logical would be that the eleven based in a mix between both groups.
Of his proofs in United States, the technician has taken out interesting conclusions, what has served for replantear, for example, if Rafinha Alcántara has to be sold. The Brazilian has been one of the best in the last friendly, and has seeded the doubts when all seemed to aim to an exit.
For the moment, the training that could draw would be a 4-3-3 flexible, with Marc-André Ter Stegen in the goal and Nélson Semedo, Gerard Hammered, Clément Lenglet and Jordi Alba like defenders. The absences of the central and the drops in the sides leave little option to the surprise, something that yes will occur in the centre of the field.
The only confirmed is Sergio Busquets, and begin to take aspiring strength like Arthur and the own Rafinha, two triunfadores of the pre-season. As Ivan Rakitic will be still on holiday and Sergi Roberto is sanctioned, the Txingurri has encouraged in leaving clear the concepts to the rest, and the Brazilians are, definitely, privileged students.
Up, except surprise, will be Leo Messi and Luis Suárez, although there is a square that rifan several footballers. If Philippe Coutinho does not finish arriving to time, opens a vacancy that could be for an extreme, and by which now there is more battle after the last events. Malcom has given the size in his first days, but Ousmane Dembélé has recortado his holidays and does not want to surrender. In little more than a week there will be a verdict.
Valverde, with infinity of possibilities for the alignment of the Barça
To the one who touches him 'wet' and take decisions is to Ernesto Valverde, that has received with illusion to the reinforcements that leave him to a staff with a lot of cracks that manage but with a spectacular quality. Without going more far, with the alignment posed previously, and explaining that they go back some figures, players like Coutinho, Rakitic, Sergi Roberto, Arturo Vidal, Dembélé or Malcom, for mentioning some -in the case that they could play-, would remain in the bench, what would leave an equipazo with a lot of solutions.
