http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 – The Perfect replacements for all the players (Part 3)
Josep Guardiola himself has been quoted saying that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 is a player the represents the true Barcelona nature. The Catalan coach said:
“We can say that Keita has grown, but no, what happened is that he played less last year. He is a very tough player, strong physically, and while Iniesta was out injured he had to play more and if anyone deserved it and knows how to value the team, it´s
Keita. He is the kind of player every manager wants and I am very happy that things are going well for him.”
In the centre midfield role, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 captain Cesc Fabregas can play for the Barcelona second team. While Xavi Hernandez looked as if he cannot be replaced, Cesc Fabregas has shown that he can easily fill in his shoes.
With this sort of a player involved in the Barcelona midfield, there is definitely no doubt that the team is going to outplay other Spanish teams in the midfield. The third midfielder who can feature for the Catalans is the heir apparent for Xavi Heranandez
– Thiago Alcantara.
The Spaniard has done wonders in the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-c34888 Alcantara in their squad
and together they will simply be outstanding in the midfield.
The Brazilian born midfielder has already done enough to impress the La Blaugrana fans as he has assisted twice and even scored once during the last season. Thiago scored against Almeria during the return leg of the Copa del Rey after a cross from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879
Alves. He was able to assist against Rubin Kazan as Marc Bartara found the back of the net.
The front three are definitely hard to replace as two of the best strikers are playing for the first team. There is definitely no replacement for a player like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629 for that matter. However, there are players available to Barcelona
who can score often. In the striking position http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonathan-c18993 Soriano can feature for Barcelona. Even though the youngster hasn’t featured in the first team, he is still the best man available to them. He brings a lot to the team with the goals he scores.
On the left wing, the newly signed Dutch star Ibrahim Afellay can feature for Barcelona. With his extraordinary pace and dribbling skills, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ibrahim-Afellay-c16547 is definitely a player who can replace David Villa. He has great finishing ability and even though
he has not assisted a single goal this season, he has still found the back of the net while playing against Almeria during the return leg of the Copa del Rey semi final.
On the other end, the newly signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979 can play on the right wing. The Chilean striker has amazing dribbling skills and also great pace. He also finishes often for the Catalans. The only reason why he is not played often by the Catalan coach is
because he has injury issues and if those are resolved he can easily play for the Barcelona team.
With a team like this, Barcelona can easily end in the mid-table of the Spanish La Liga. This simply shows that the Catalans are one of the best teams in the world because they have replacements for all the first team players that they have. Therefore, Barcelona
are without a doubt one of “the” best teams in the history of football and they are defining another era – The La Blaugrana era.
