Rayo Vallecano – FC Barcelona
Hansi Flick had no hesitation: what works, the less you touch it, the better. Dani Olmowho will play his first game for the Barça main team, will be replacement in VallecasThe Terrassa player will have to wait until the second half to make his debut in the Barça starting line-up. Gerard Martin will be the only change in Baquet’s lineup what the German coach will do with the team that beat Athletic on Saturday at Montjuic.
Olmo was officially registered on Tuesday morning after La Liga completed its checks.The medical report that Barça sent to La Liga regarding Andreas Christensen’s injury included the possibility of an extension of the absence to four months, so the employers’ association accepted Egarense’s registration on a provisional basis, until December 31.
Dani, who now has enough training to play, will come on the bench, so the line of three midfielders will be back Lamine, Rafinha and Ferran. Three left good feelings about Athletic, and Flick decides to repeat. All of them will be the main people responsible for serving the team with balls. Lewandowski for the series: three goals in the first two days.
Bernal and Pedri are still in the engine room.
In the engine room, Flick continues to insist on the stamina and individuality of Marc Bernal, who will once again form a duet with Pedri increasingly sophisticated. There was speculation about the possible appearance of Marc Casado, although Vallezan eventually repeated as a substitute. Tonight in Vallecas will be the third of three possible starts for Marc Bernal, who surprised everyone with his performance.
There is only relief behind. The German coach repeats: Kunde, Kubarsi And Inigo Martinez but prefers to level out Gerard Martin from Vedra. The youngster will be making his first start in the First Division. It should be remembered that Balde is recovering from a long-term injury, and given the demands of the schedule, Flick wants to protect him.
