The Catalan Secret is preparing two especial articles for the following Futbol Club Barcelona fixtures. As we were mentioning through our social media we will share with our followers an especial article of the next UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE game versus AC MILAN, on Tuesday 22nd and against Real Madrid on Saturday 26th. But as Tata Martino said today in his press conference, today is time to think about Osasuna, and then we will think about AC MILAN. We will follow the directions of the coach. Martino keeps doing rotations in his squat taking in consideration the national teams games of his players plus his health in order to have most of his squat rested to use them in the two following important games. The list of players for tomorrow is: Goalkeepers: Valdes, Pinto Defenders: Montoya, Bartra, Puyol, Mascherano, Adriano Midfielders: Busquets, Xavi, Iniesta, Sergio Roberto, Jonathan Dos Santos, Cesc Fowards: Neymar, Messi, Tello, Pedro.

As we can see Alves, Alexis and Pique jumped out of the list. The first ones due to their travelling with their respective national teams, the Catalan is come back with some pain after his performance and is his first time getting involved in the rotation system of Tata Martino. According to Martino s words I expect an aggressive Osasuna, They are going to pressure us from the beginning to make us uncomfortable. We will have to keep the ball to avoid counterattacks. Make us think that Martino will bet for Busquets, Xavi and Iniesta in the midfield. In the defense the only doubt is who will be next to Marc Bartra as a center back. Montoya will be in the right, since Alves is recovering from his travel, and Adriano will be in the left assuming his role in the team really well since Albas injury. Is going to be interesting to see how is going to stay in the field when the Catalan left defender comes back. In the forward line we expect an unusual line although really useful taking in consideration how Osasuna will theoretically play the game. Cesc will try to keep performing as a fake 9 to generate numerical superiority by joining the midfield and generating spaces behind his back for Pedro and Tello, two players that can open the field when the team needs space to possess the ball and speed when there is space to provide them balls. So here is the line-up that The Catalan Secret thinks that will start tomorrow against Osasuna. Starting with seven Catalan players from la Masia.
