Although he will start from the bench, Ansu Fati aims to have a decisive role in the Clásico of the Spanish Super Cup. The '10' should be the revulsive of the culé attack in the complement, taking advantage of the defensive fragility of Madrid
Ansu Fai Will live his Classical second in the Supercopa Spanish. The '10' wetted in the semis of the past edition in front of the Real Madrid (defeat in extention 2-3) and expects to have revancha in the final of this Sunday in Riad, a party in which, except capital surprise, will be acting. However, Xavi Hernández has a very important role reserved for the one of Bissau of face to the resolution of the first title of the season.
Considering the problems of the Madrid in defence and the scarce variants in the bench for the ones of Carlo Ancelotti, the forward of 20 years has to take advantage of of a tired saga in the final stretch to mark the difference, as it did it the Thursday in front of the Betis. Ansu Converted the 1-2 partial in the lengthen and followed suit in the batch of penaltis with the third collection, to the vital dessert for the triumph 2-4 from the eleven metres.
In the Classical, Fati will have to lidiar, in principle, with the mark of Dani Carvajal when ingrese, although it would not be odd that went Éder Militao the one who finished marking him, with Nacho recostado like second head office or side by left if Ferland Mendy neither can complete the 90 minutes. The sides 'merengues' arrive to the limit and, without David Praises neither Lucas Vázquez, Jesús Vallejo is the only available alternative in defence in addition to Nacho.
Thus, Ansu is the 'ace' under the magician of Xavi in Riad. Unlike the Madrid, the Barça has sufficient basic wardrobe for encarar another long party in a final that, on the paper, luce very balanced. The '10' has the mission no only of desbordar by left, but of encarar to the area and take advantage of his hit to finish of half distance or, in his defect, serve a centre that can take advantage of Robert Lewandowski.
The plan of Xavi for lastimar to the Madrid
In principle, Ousmane Dembélé and Pedri will accompany to the '9' the Sunday, with Raphinha, Fati and Ferran Torres expecting his moment in the bench. The own will do Memphis Depay, considering that, hardly, the Pole will be substituted. As of habit, the game by the sides will be the engine of a Barça that it has to take advantage of the defensive fragility 'merengue' from the minute 1 to base of explosividad and good game with the '7' and the '8'.
By his part, Frenkie of Jong and Gavi will have but creative freedom, although the Dutch will have to replegarse to support to Sergio Busquets in the recovery. Like this, the plan of the míster of Terrassa aims to populate the contrary field with a pressure asfixiante that explode the lacks of an inferior Madrid in the physical and in his worst moment of the season. This is the moment to give the hit. The first title of the era Xavi is when falling.
