Barcelona’s new manager was coy about revealing La Blaugrana’s starting eleven against Real Madrid for their Spanish Super Cup first leg fixture at the Camp Nou.
Following Pep Guardiola’s successful reign in Catalonia, Barcelona will continue their ambitious project under Tito Vilanova. The new incumbent had a bright start to his adventures at the Camp Nou with a 5-1 thrashing of Real Sociedad in their opening game
of 2012/13 Spanish top flight football.
La Blaugrana now turn their attention to Real Madrid, whom they take on for bragging rights in the Spanish Super Cup. With the first leg scheduled at the home of the Catalan club, Vilanova kept his cards close to his chest in the build up to the match.
Tito Vilanova appeared before the media to discuss the first leg, sharing his joy at the acquisition of Alex Song from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, while refusing to acknowledge that the Cameroonian will be a guaranteed starter against Madrid.
The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 B assistant coach had a similar response for his choice of shot-stopper in the two legged affair, stating that he has yet to decide on his favoured lineup against their eternal rivals.
Questions about Vilanova’s choice for Lionel Messi’s partner in attack elicited a similar response, as the witty tactician shared that he is undecided about his plans.
"In principle, the adaptation will be quick. Many days do not have to work things, but talk of a template that I love. I wish they had stayed Keita."
"We'll decide tomorrow's. A quality player but we have the majority in good condition," he said about http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-Song-c4804.
"Tomorrow we decided its lineup," he said about his dilemma over the choice of Victor Valdes and Jose http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pinto-c30032 between the sticks.
"I have not decided who will play in attack," Vilanova shared about the attackers in Barcelona’s starting eleven at the Camp Nou.
Despite refusing to delve into details about his squad, Vilanova is certain that La Blaugrana will improve as they season starts in full earnest. He stated that the players are coming to grips with the rigours of competitive with a smallish holiday period
on their backs after competing in the London Olympic Games and UEFA Euro 2012 hosted by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032.
"I think any team gets good at all these early season games. We've had players who have gone to the Euro. Differences I see."
