Christensen or Cubarsi? The Dane’s recovery ‘collides’ with the youth squad’s great moment

ONE OF THE TWO AIMES TO WIN IN THE COPA DEL REY

Good news for the FC Barcelona, two of his active more important in the defensive line, Andreas Christensen and Joãor Cancel, already are totally recovered of his respective injuries and will be eligible for the next party of the Glass of the King against the AthleticClub . So much the Portuguese like the Danish have been summoned to confront to the Basques, what generates an interesting debate on how Xavi Hernández will make his defensive line for this important commitment.

Splitting of the premise that the technician egarense will go out with his alignment title in Saint Mamés, arises the conversation on which players will choose to strengthen his defensive line, now that the ’15’ and ‘2’ are recovered and the one of Terrassa has, except Iñigo Martínez, has all his active available in this area.

The ‘beautiful problem’ that will have Xavi to arm his saga

The doubt arises from the statements done by Xavi Hernández in the previous press conference to the meeting in front of the Athletic Club. The Catalan left clear that Joãor “does not have almost any annoyance” and that Christensen, although it had had annoyances in the heel of Achilles, “already is well”. However, although both could see minutes in the party against the ‘Lions’, is not clear if they will be headlines.

If the Portuguese does not go out like titling in the right side, seems that Jules Koundé would be the elected to cover the right side from the start, what opens a gap in the saga for two names: Andreas Christensen or Pau Cubarsí, assuming that the another defender would be Ronald Araújo, whose place in the titularity is not in doubt.

The credenciales of Cubarsí and Christensen

The conversation surfaces around if Xavi Hernández will bet by Andreas Christensen that finish to recover of an injury, but to the that has showed a lot of confidence and that has surrendered when it is entirely healthy, or if it will go back to trust Pau Cubarsí, the one who debuted recently in LaLiga and, in spite of his youth, showed to have a lot of personality and technical qualities to play a party of high level like the clash against the Real Betis in Benito Villamarín, and did it with solvency.

It will be necessary to value which decision finishes taking the egarense, if it decant by the Danish, that entirely recovered contributes experience to the saga, good defensive provision and a remarkable exit of balloon from the bottom, or if it decides to give him a new opportunity to Cubarsí, the one who seems to have adapted quickly to the Barcelona dynamics and has showed to have the tactical concepts of the school culé very assimilated.

The native of Estanyol has turned into an active perfectly eligible to give him consistency to the saga culé, since it has showed like a ‘guardian’ almost inexpugnable in the background line, being quite hit in the crosses and in the anticipation of played. Equally, it has left clear that it can be a virtuoso in the handle of the exit of balloon from the bottom, having a very effective pass in long to jump lines of pressure.
