Barca visit to Getafe with a World XI

Guardiola does not want any surprises in the Coliseum and will play with all their heavy artillery.

 FC Barcelona has no margin for error this afternoon against Getafe. Need a win to put pressure on Real Madrid, who play just as he finished the match at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Pep Guardiola is why bet on a World XI for the three points entering the Barcelona box and the team can continue in the top of the table. The clash is one of those so-called 'trap'. First it comes from losing to Getafe 0-3 on Thursday against Stuttgart in the Europa League and try to leave a good image for your hobby and, secondly, because the past several of his Real Madrid players will be an extra motivation to dismount the FC Barcelona.

The stage, therefore, invited technical Santpedor not to gamble and bet on a once experienced and solvent. In goal there was no doubt and will Valdés who defend it. It has in the previous nine league games. At the rear will be Alves, Puyol, Piqué and Abidal, a quartet that offers guarantees the coach, who can 'play' with the versatility of the Brazilian to join the attack, thus completing a line of three. In the area broad bet on the creativity of Xavi and Iniesta, Busquets being responsible for cutting and retrieving balls. Above, the triplet formed by Pedro, Messi and Villa, three players who scored 23 of the 35 goals he has scored the team this season in all competitions. 65.7%. A figure that, knowing the difficulties that the team is now a full guarantee. The eleven were in the World Cup last-eight of them, those who defended the shirt of Spain, won the trophy. French Abidal was not the first phase and Alves and Messi left in the second round and quarter-final with Brazil and Argentina respectively.


This team was precisely that Pep aligned against Panathinaikos, to open fire on the Champions (5-1), against Zaragoza (0-2) in the league and, more recently, against Sevilla (5-0), also in the league. In all the team has responded to the technical perfection: three wins, 12 goals scored and only one against. Blind faith then this eleven, which means believing in the other players. Guardiola has always maintained that his group no headlines or alternates, who all have the same rank players in the dressing room, but understand that in these times of maximum pressure, the alternative should be given to those who are most experienced and knowledgeable in actions with additional charges. Coach Catalan, today confirmed the World XI, only make a variation from Tuesday's game in Copenhagen: Pedro enter by Keita, Iniesta delaying its position to occupy the African, from the normal canary demarcation in the band. What awaits Barca from now is just that. High-risk matches in La Liga and Champions League. Games in which you can not fail and that the technician will align, wherever possible, the World XI.
