Barcelona and Koeman’s last hope: How would you align with the return of the injured?

Another hit. The catastrophe of Barcelona keep going. In the Wanda Metropolitano, the crisis of the Barcelona club has been reflected again with a defeat against Atlético de Madrid. The bad results overwhelm and the culés are left without hope. But Ronald Koeman no; he is still confident in the revival of his team.

Despite living one of the most critical stages in the Barcelona, the Dutch coach has the backing of Joan Laporta in his favor. In fact, since before the game against the ‘Colchoneros’, the club president had stated that Koeman will continue to command the squad.

However, everything has an expiration date. Laporta guaranteed the continuity of the coach, but he will not allow the poor performance of the team to linger for long. For this reason, the Dutchman has a deadline to show that he must remain at the Barça club.

“Koeman wants the Barça and he decided to come at a time of maximum institutional and sporting difficulty. After talking to him, I see that he trusts this team, especially from the moment the injured start to recover “Laporta noted.

, which will try to make the most of it; otherwise, it will be your final judgment. So far, the Blaugrana DT has had to deal with them in several games this season.

During the month of October or, at the beginning of November, these players will return to the courts and will be like the last ace up the Dutch coach’s sleeve. Likewise, it is expected that Ansu Fati and Philippe Coutinho, recently recovered, will regain their best level so that they contribute more to the team.

In that sense, all are indispensable for Koeman, so his starting lineup, with the return of the injured, would vary relatively. The Barcelona coach could use 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formations, depending on what he needs in each game.

As expected, Ter Stegen will continue under the three sticks of the Barça goal whatever happens. While the defensive line would be made up of Sergiño Dest, Gerard Piqué, Ronald Araújo and Jordi Alba.

Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong and Pedri would harmonize the team’s starting midfielder. Finally, Memphis Depay would have more support on offense with the presence of ‘Kun’ Agüero and Ousmane Dembélé, although this could also vary with the inclusion of Ansu Fati, Braithwaite or Coutinho.

It is so.

Be that as it may, from then on there will no longer be excuses or justifications for the Dutch coach. If you are currently in the eye of the storm, the day you have all your weapons will be worse. Koeman is on the ropes and any misstep will hasten his departure from Barcelona.
