Marcelino regulates the line-ups to the millimeter for the Cup final

Although he insists that the League is still hot, the truth is Marcelino García Toral has clearly dosed his ships the last matches against Villarreal, Atlético and Celta, and the same maneuver against Eibar this Saturday in San Mamés. His eleven type has been reformulated. The reason is none other than, given the difficulty of sneaking into Europe via the League with that rather distant seventh place, schedule the minutes almost millimetrically among a large part of your staff, with changes regulated and previously studied, with the first Cup final on April 3 in The Cartuja of Seville against the Real around the corner. One or two more titles require some sacrifice. Avoid injuries, roll your men and the Active rest obeys the keys to your strategy.

The examples are clear in the last days of the calendar. The Asturian coach has granted rest in their line-ups to two of his fixed, Williams and Muniain, to Raúl García changed him in the intermission of Balaídos, to Iñigo Martínez, Before his sanction, he has been dosing him with Yeray and Núñez In the central axis, having all three plugged in, Yuri Berchiche has gone through the bench to, in addition, cushion his physical discomfort from a blow, that he does not sink and incidentally for Balenziaga to take flight.

A separate chapter responds to the permutation of its four leading midfielders (Dani García, Unai López, Vencedor and Vesga) whom he has seen in action forming different pairs, ruling out that Vencedor and Unai López coincide simultaneously because he considers them less consistent and with less route in defensive tasks in the middle block. In the demarcation of the right side he has also been alternating to Capa and De Marcos, mainly, and somewhat less to Lekue, escorting a Berenguer in a state of grace that the right-handed end has been made.
