Barcelona – Granada: Koeman trial

The Barcelona receive the Granada at Camp Nou this Monday where parallel to the game will be judged Ronald Koeman. The coach is measured against one of those teams that last year prevented him from fighting for the League until the last day as the Catalans were defeated by 1-2 against the Andalusian team.

It has already stopped talking about Leo Messi, now the focus of conversation and debate between the fans culé and the directive of the Barcelona takes it Ronald Koeman. The Dutch coach is seriously questioned and a defeat could cost him his position, although he in the press conference prior to the crash wanted to take away the iron from the matter by ensuring that no one from the club has communicated it to him.

And it is that since Joan Laporta won the elections, the situation of Ronald Koeman it has not been stable at all. Although the president of the Barcelona He ratified it in his post it always seems that he hangs by a thread. It happened to him, above all, in the summer, when the culé chief executive told him to hold out for two weeks in case he found a better coach, as the Dutch coach himself has recognized.

Now, after not convincing at the beginning of the course with the 0-3 defeat against Bayern Munich on the Champions League, a defeat against Granada could be the end of the stage of Koeman in Barcelona. From that moment on the problem would be worse, because what coach would want to accept this project as soon as the season started without having been able to influence the signings.

And is that the Barcelona You have to accept that you are experiencing a time of transition, an end of the cycle after the departure of Leo messi and previously of other players who signed the glorious era of the club. That in sports, because economically they continue to cross a complicated terrain in which they have to balance the accounts and reduce the debts they have.

Returning to sports, the questioned Ronald Koeman You will not be able to count on injured footballers like Jordi Alba, Pedri, Dembélé, Braithwaite or Kun Agüero. Neither with Ansu Fati, who continues with his set-up. In this way, the eleven with which the former Netherlands coach would come out will be something similar to this: Ter Stegen, Mingueza, Piqué, Eric García, Dest; Busquets, Frenkie de Jong, Sergi Roberto, Memphis, Coutinho and Luuk de Jong.

The Barcelona, who has a pending match against Sevilla, reaches the meeting with a balance of two wins and a draw, so the situation in the League it’s not bad at all. In fact, before the only match in which points have been left has been against the Athletic, which also made the Athletic in the Metropolitano precisely this day.

Granada, also in crisis

Ahead will be a Granada that does not finish starting at the orders of Robert Moreno. The former coach of Spain he is not managing to continue with that great project that he led Diego Martinez and you still don’t know what it’s like to win in League. In fact, the Nazaria team adds only two points, so they have drawn two games and lost the other two.

Everything indicates that Robert Fernández is clear about the eleven with which he will jump to the pitch of the Camp Nou to try to get something positive out of your visit to the Barcelona. Maximiano will defend the goal and the defense will consist of five men: Arias, Duarte, Germán, Abram and Neva. In the core, Monchu, Montor y Gonalons will form the trivote and as more advanced men will appear Machís and the colombian Luis Suarez.
