SA Ruben Baraja Now comes the ‘lucky problem’ of having to choose. Just over a month after taking on Valencia and even with the team’s rejection, the coach has almost all his chips and this Monday match Vallecano Ray You will be able to raise your first eleven with almost no restrictions. With one game a week, there’s also no reason for much rotation from now on beyond performance and the rivalry.
For this clash, the only safe loss is the goalkeeper Jaume, but this is of little concern because it is the only position where there is no doubt: the position belongs to Giorgi Mamardashvili. In fact, neither Cristian Rivero nor Iago Herrerín had options to dislodge the Georgian.
In defense came the first doubts. On the right, Thierry Correia has been with the group for a few weeks, but Dimitri Foulquier has been strong in that position. First discussion. He is also there in the middle of the defense, where this week the fourth center-back Gabriel Paulista rejoined the group, who the coach bet on immediately upon his arrival. However, he is the only one of the returnees who hasn’t trained hard and so far the two positions are played by Mouctar Diakhaby, Eray Cömert and Cenk Özkacar. On the left side, José Luis Gayà is permanent, but the fact is that if he wants now he can have an alternative with the young Jesús Vázquez and Toni Lato, who this week returned to the group.
Options for Nico in midfield
In the middle of the field, Hugo Guillamón seems settled as a defensive midfielder but Nico González’s good form on his return gives the blaugrana options. For the other two trivote positions he also has to choose because he has Yunus Musah, André Almeida and Ilaix Moriba. There are also two positions for three wing players. So you have to rule out either Samu Castillejo, Samuel Lino or Justin Kluivert. This is without counting a player like youth squad player Fran Pérez, in whom he has already shown his trust.
At last came the point of attack. In his first weeks, Baraja had it easy because he only had Hugo Duro and the man from Madrid responded with a lot of work and few goals. But in the clash against Atlético de Madrid, Edinson Cavani, who has a better sense of smell, already had some minutes, and now Marcos André is also back. As said, blessed, but also a problem after all.
