Ruben Baraja looking these days for the best formula to replace Justin Kluivert after the muscle injury he suffered in the field of Almeria. Sunday’s clash against Sevilla will be the first he will face without the Dutchman but not the last and given the importance he has gained in attacking team play, it will be key to get it right.
Author of the two goals that gave him the last four points he added, one in the win against Osasuna and the other in the draw against Rayo, Kluivert In addition to being a goalscorer, he has been an agitator for the Valencian attack, both attached to one side in the most offensive line of 1-4-3-3 and behind the center forward in 1- 4-2-3 -1 that the coach started to introduce.
The first and easiest option is to use Samu Castillejo. The veteran attacker has similar qualities, but although he has a better technique, he lacks the stamina that his partner has shown. Of course, he can perform as well as he does in those two positions.
Another option is to increase the role of young people Fran PerezAlthough in this case the normal thing would be for him to stick to 1-4-3-3 as the youth squad player currently has a better tackle attached to the goal line.
Finally, Baraja could use either of the two on the wing but continue with his classic 1-4-4-2 bet and bring Hugo Duro along edinson cavani at the point of attack to achieve greater presence up top, although at the risk of losing the battle in the middle.
