Valverde changes to Griezmann for a galactic signing of Messi

Calling for the time That's how FC Barcelona ended the match that the Blaugrana won against Atlético de Madrid at the Camp Nou ( 1-0 ) on Sunday. The Blaugrana signed a great first part and went ahead by a goal by Leo Messi direct foul, the third in the last three games.


But in the second the culés returned to star in a downturn that kept the rojiblancos alive until the final moments of the crash. A dynamic that we have seen on other occasions this season.

But what worried the locals was not that Diego's 'Cholo' Simeone put the Catalan team on the ropes, but the feeling of fragility in the back and that at any time the mattresses could match the game.

Atlético highlights the problems in defense of Barça

The physical condition of a Gerard Piqué who was limping a good stretch of the match did not help either, while there are few who trust that Yerry Mina can occupy the center of defense in an important match.

A situation that leaves  Thomas Vermaelen as the only central guarantee to supply Umtiti or Piqué , and neither can be said that the Belgian has the approval of the majority both among the fans as in the coaching staff and the team.

Leo Messi takes the floor

So much so that the heavier weights of the team led by Messi , Luis Suárez or Andres Iniesta point out that the signing of Antoine Griezmann is not as important as that of a galactic defender. A plot for which they have even put a name on the table of those responsible.


This is David Alaba , of Bayern Munich and that also claims Real Madrid . The cracks see the 25-year-old Austrian as an ideal signing for the interests of Barça . Not only can play central, but can also replace Jordi Alba and end the fears of the staff every time he plays Lucas Digne .

In addition, Alaba can also play defensive midfield, with which Sergio Busquets could rest with the reassurance that his substitute will give sufficient guarantees. A true 3x1 for the set of Ernesto Valverde .

Likewise, Messi does not want anyone to overshadow Suarez , and the arrival of Alaba instead of Griezmann would allow the Uruguayan to keep the ownership assured.

For its part, it is known that the defense wants to change the air and leave Bayern at the end of the season.

The problem of his signing? The Interest of Madrid and the millions that Florentino Pérez is willing to put on the table to take the cat to the water.
