These are the five concerns that will haunt the Catalan coach’s head before the game against the Elche team:
Both players are completing quite good recent games and it is normal for the Catalan coach to have doubts about which of the two is the best option. Sergiño Dest has improved a lot on the defensive side, a quality that was widely criticized a few months ago. Dani Alves is giving Barcelona a new format when it comes to getting the ball out, moving into midfield to give Adama or Dembélé more room. The decision will not be easy.
He is one of the strikers who make less noise but who practice better football. Lucas Boyé has everything to succeed in a major in this league. It is very possible that this will be his last season in a low table team. He has the level to play in the Europa League, and teams like Sevilla or Real Sociedad have already shown interest in him.
It is without a doubt the best signing that Barcelona has made in this winter market, but it must be admitted that it is not fine facing the door. The shot is his main virtue along with unchecking, and so far despite the fact that he is not completing bad games, he is not shining in the way that he himself expected. We will have to give the good Ferran time.
Barça is still a very unreliable team as a visitor. This great month of February should have served to improve morale and continue to grow both at home and in the stadiums of the rivals. It has been a pending task for a long time. In the past it wasn’t a very worrying problem because the team always won at home, but this season it hasn’t happened like that.
The only player who has not been improving throughout the campaign is Marc-André ter Stegen. Since his operation he has not been the same again and his team is noticing it. Last year Barça won points with their saves and this year the team is losing points for their mistakes. Radical change.
