Gündogan Leaves clear that the Barça has to sobreponerse to the drops of Pedri and Frenkie of Jong
MESSAGE FROM GÜNDOGAN TO THE STAFF
The visit of the FC Barcelona to the Athletic Club finished being more had an accident of what any one expected . In addition to the bitter tie that achieved, that the ‘move away’ of the possibility to litigate by LaLiga, lost to two of the most important players of the staff culé: Frenkie of Jong and Pedri González. Both remained ‘KO’ in the first part and saw forced to abandon the field, confirming the worst prognoses this Monday for both.
It is not the first time that the midfield players go to the infirmary to the ‘same’ time. Pedri Had lesionado to finals of August of the past year and a month afterwards Frenkie of Jong remained ‘KO’. The Barça, although it had to bet by the rotations -in a period in which Fermín López obtained prominence- , finish ‘surviving’ and did not have extreme difficulties. Now, the team is forced to ‘repeat’ the history.
Gündogan Signals the leaf of route for the Barça
That was the message that has left, of some way, Ílkay Gündogan after the rugged visit of the Barça to Saint Mamés. The midfield player Teutonic spoke in the microphones of ‘LaLiga TV’ and left clear that, although they are sensitive drops because they are two differential players, are forced to win without mattering who are the protagonists on the lawn. The requirement to the team does not finish only because they have fallen lesionados Frenkie and Pedri.
The ex of the Manchester City has commented, in concrete, that “lost to two players (Of Jong and Pedri) that contribute to the field qualities that other players do not contribute. But we are the Barça and have the responsibility to win with the one who was in the field”. It is a message that has to trascend to all the staff so that no ‘fall’ in the most decisive stretch of the present course.
Gündogan Will have more weight in the Barça
Of what does not fit doubt is that the role of Gündogan will take even more importance after the injuries of both players. Up to now, the German was being the silent leader of the Barça. It had benefited in these last weeks of the ‘change’ of position of Andreas Christensen, the one who has happened to play like pivote ‘hover’ of Of Jong. It could advance much more… And now it will remain for seeing how will be his role and in which position will remain, especially if they go back to the 4-3-3.
