CdR | 1/16 | FC Barcelona vs Cultural Leonesa

Almogàver · November 9th, 2009, 09:01

FC BARCELONA (2) vs (0) CULTURAL LEONESA
Camp Nou (Barcelona) | Tue, Nov 11 | 22:00 CET

After the victory in León, Barcelona only need to pass these 90 minutes to advance to the next round. Guardiola will have the chance to rest players while the ones who don't get many minutes will have the chance to prove themselves.

The game shouldn't have much interest, although it's always important to keep the concentration in order to avoid any kind of surprise.

The day will be a tribute for César, a legend of our club, born in León, who still is one of the top scorers of our history. One of these men that made the club what it is today.

FORÇA BARÇA!

Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, Piqué and Puyol are with the national team so we can count them out from this one. Henry and Abidal playing play off for the World Cup against Ireland as well. Yaya and Keita will play friendlies with their NT.

We'll win 2-1

*. Such a shame Thiago is still unavailable, would be a great chance to show Pep what he is made of.

Ramallets · November 9th, 2009, 13:39

Chygro is away with the Ukranian NT. Spain plays on Saturday, so I don't know if this mean Xavi, Puyol, Piqué, Iniesta and Busi will be available for this cup match?

Oh, and Keita is injured (10 days). He got a nock in the last match against Mallorca. Problem with knee ligaments.

abdulelah · November 9th, 2009, 14:56

how players from " barcalona B " can pep use in this Match ?
if the all players with NT , will be no players

Barcoslav · November 9th, 2009, 16:19

If you are asking how many players from B team can Pep use, under regulation he can use unlimited players from the B team and youth ranks (juvenil etc).

But anyway, in today's training he called up only dos Santos, Fontas and Oriol Romeu, so I think he'll use only those three. Still, there may be some changes in tomorrow training session. Fontas and Jeffren have official Spain U21 game on Friday, they may not be available (or yes, who knows), but other Spaniards like Iniesta we'll be available for tomorrow game. Gai is with Israeli NT (U21?), so he'll be unavailable too. Btw, keep in mind that the squad for cup games has only 16 men instead of usual 18.

Both Keita and Ibrahimovic have a very convenient injury, they'll be ready for next la liga game, but will miss the NT games and stay in Barcelona. It's a pity only those two are injured in that way.

Culéd · November 9th, 2009, 16:51

Boat-slav, I think there was a rule that you have to use a certain number of A-team players for the Copa, wasn't there?

Oh and I heard Ibra will be available for Swedens new coach Erik Hamren. But he won't be at the gala tonight. Pepe was also invited, but he is leading by example by not coming to these shows. The Swedish FA and TV4 need to respect the Copa del Rey, those ignorant little wimps.

No more than 4 B team players in the starting line up and even during the game.

Barcoslav · November 9th, 2009, 17:23

ok, i was wrong, there are limits.

Culéd · November 9th, 2009, 17:31

No one is perfect. We still love you. You know that.

Btw, I just came to think of Victor Sanchez. Anyone followed him anything? Is he playing? Is he performing? Questions, questions.

Oh, dont think Pep will start two B-players in midfield. Probably one of J.dosSantos and O.Romeu to start, and the other to come on as a sub.

True that. I'm perfect though, because I'm not noone, I'm someone.

Barcamaniac · November 9th, 2009, 20:24

I hope Bojan has a good game with a couple of goals. He was showing very good progress before his injury.
Speaking of injuries, how is Thiago doing these days? And is Muniesa playing in the youth teams or is he injured as well?

Muniesa is with the spanish u-17 squad

Yeah, and got a red card against Uruguay.

Spain still managed to go through to semi-final from penalties.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing. Is he even starting at Xerez?

Technically only missing players in the last practice were:
Keita, Ibrahimović, Milito (injury)
Abidal, Henry, Chigrinski, Toure (their NT play WC qualifier games, so they were released earlier).

Everybody else is available to enter the 16 men squad, plus the 3 B players which practiced with the first team for two days: dos Santos, Fontas and Oriol Romeu.
