The coach has to find a solution to replace”'s replacement”, starting with this week's matches against Inter and Real Madrid.
There's no player who can do what Messy can do, so the whole team has to replace it. There are many options for changes in formation.
Chowinho take control
Brazilian, of course, is the player who must take the role of Mess in the field. Chow has shown that he knows enough how to connect to the midfield, and he has to show his qualities these weeks.
Oppressive Options
Ousmane Demble, or even Malcom, are the options Valverde has available. The Frenchman was the one who replaced the Messiah after his injury in the match against Seville.
His presentation was non-consistent, and fans at the stadium expressed frustration.
Defansive Options
If Valverde decides to play with four midfielders, then the solution could be Arthur Vidal. Chilean presence would change the system to 4-4-2.
The attack would thus remain in the hands of Chowinho and Louis Suarez. Sergi Roberto or Rafinha could also be used in the midfield. /Periscopi/
