While the defence has already been discussed, let’s take a look at the midfield and the attack of the Catalan giants and how Vilanova is going to arrange them.
With the back four including Gerard Pique, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carles-Puyol-c8331, Daniel Alves and Jordi Alba, there is no doubt that Barcelona are going to be fielding one of the strongest defences in the world.
There are players who can definitely replace these four defenders. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Javier-Mascherano-c18071 is the man who can always be fielded in the centre-back position while the Brazilian full-back, Adriano, can play in the left-back role.
Moreover, the young Spanish full-back, Montoya, can always take the position of Daniel Alves in case of emergency.
However, what La Blaugrana really rely on is their midfield. The Spanish giants can always compromise in the defence and attack, but when it comes to their midfield, they make sure that they dominate it as they have to continue their passing game in order
to win.
Therefore, the first-choice midfielders are going to be Sergio Busquets, Andres Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez.
These three have managed to show the world that they are capable of winning over any midfield.
While Busquets is a ball winner in the midfield, Xavi Hernandez is the man who moves it around while Iniesta completes the package with his exquisite skills on the ball.
There are other players who can replace these three in the team. With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Seydou-Keita-c33177 gone, players such as Thiago Alcantara are going to get a chance to prove their worth in the team.
Moreover, a new player, if added into the team, will also get a chance to shine in the midfield.
There is always Cesc Fabregas sitting on the bench and he can always take place in the midfield to either add an extra midfielder, or replace Xavi and Iniesta in case they require rest.
Tito Vilanova will also have the liberty to test younger players from Barca B, as they have been showcasing their potential during the pre-season friendly games.
With the midfield all sorted out, the best three up front will include http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 and Alexis Sanchez.
These three can form a deadly goal-scoring trio. Just like it used to be with Villa, Messi and Pedro, it is going to be even better with Alexis Sanchez involved in the first-team.
The former Udinese player has yet to prove his worth at the Nou Camp, but there is no doubt that he is an extraordinary player.
There is always an option open for Vilanova to test new players. Players such as Isaac Cuenca, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 Rodriguez, Cristian Tello and Ibrahim Afellay will always be there on the bench to help the Catalans in the attack.
However, with David Villa coming back from injury, he will definitely cement his place in the first team.
Lionel Messi is a player, who is simply irreplaceable for the Spanish giants, and Alexis Sanchez has been impressive during the pre-season friendly games and he will definitely start for La Blaugrana.
Tito Vilanova, despite not signing another defensive player, still has an extraordinary team at his disposal. However, the pressure to continue Guardiola’s success might be the only hurdle that will get to him.
The summed up http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 line-up for the upcoming season will be:
Victor Valdes; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979.
Second-choice players are going to be:
Jose http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Tello.
