Introducing the announcement of the central match of the 11th round of the championship of Spain, which will meet Barcelona and Seville.
Seville in the past seasons has ceased to be for Barcelona really serious irritant. Moreover, the matches of the past seasons have taught us that "Nervionians" are often even difficult to print out at the gate "blaugranas". In the middle of the week, today's rivals held their Champions League matches. So, Sevilla in his field took revenge on Spartacus for the recent humiliation in Moscow, while Barcelona on the road played a draw with Olympiakos. In this case, do not pay attention to the loss of points "blue-garnet" - they did not really need a victory.
In La Liga Barca continues to demonstrate the best start in the history of the tournament and confidently leads the standings, while Sevilla still can not find herself. Three defeats in the last five games - obviously not the result that the leadership expects from the new coaching staff headed by Eduardo Berizzo. And it is not yet clear whether the bosses of the club are ready to give the coach the necessary amount of time. It is clear that the match against Barca will not decide the fate of the mentor, but in case of obvious failure, it can bring him closer to collapse.
Barcelona in all matches is the first number and today's game is no exception. Hosts from the first minutes will take the initiative and will create moments. The question is, which model of the game will Beritstso choose? We all saw what happened to his team when she tried to play Valencia in a less open football (0-4 defeat, -. Therefore it is more logical to assume that the guests will try to saturate the defense and play on counterattacks. I really want the Andalusian team today to give a real fight, but somehow it's all too easy for Barcelona.
As for the personnel situation, Usman Dembele and Rafinha are still in the "blaugranas" infirmary, and just recently, Sergio Roberto, Andres Iniesta and Andre Gomes. These performers on the Camp Nou field today will not come out. Seville, in turn, will not help Dani Clarissa, Nico Pareja and Joaquin Correa. As you can see, there are problems for both collectives, but they can not be called critical. And Valverde, and Berizzo without any stress will find players who can replace them.
