After four days played, Barcelona faces its first final. It's only September but Koeman faces tonight at the Nuevo Mirandilla (22:00, Movistar LaLiga) what may be his last game as a Barça coach against Cádiz that last season already complicated his life a lot (follow the game live on As.com).
Koeman's future at the head of Barça may not depend on the result of the match, because with the fire that exists in the Barcelona entity after the coach's statement in the previous It seems that his fate is more than sealed, but if he has a minimal chance to continue, he goes through winning and convincing in Cádiz.
The game will be a good thermometer to see the degree of involvement of the squad with their coach. Likewise, Koeman's ordeal in the Sant Joan Despí press room revolutionizes a team that from the first half hour of the first game of The league against Real society has fallen into a spin.
To face this decisive test, which we could define as the last bullet that the technician has left, Koeman has almost the same elements that on Monday did not go beyond the draw against him grenade. The only variation is the absence of the injured Balde, whose position will be occupied by Nico. As the coach himself would say: “It is what there is.” The infirmary is still full and the scope for action is getting smaller and smaller.
That is to say, it is most likely that the team that goes out to play today will be very similar to the one that finished the game against Granada. With Mingueza as right back, Dest on the left and Araújo and Piqué as central or forward depending on how the night goes.
Gavi has won the title and the question is whether he will bet on Luuk de Jong at the start.
Animated. For its part, Cádiz is already smiling. The first win of the season against Celta has calmed the team's nervousness and against Barça they will seek to continue adding. The precedents of last season against the Blaugrana are encouraging: four points out of six possible. After the revolution lived in the eleven of Balaídos, Álvaro will return to a more classic version with Negredo on top.
