Jose Mourinho is quietly preparing Wednesday's match with FC Barcelona. Disputed by Crujff Johan or John Benjamin Toshack, defended by Javier Clemente or Rafael Nadal, the Portuguese meditates on the eleventh he will align Wednesday in the Spanish Cup final. The absence of Raul Albiol, who was eliminated in the championship match with Barcelona, the danger that comes from the midline of Barcelona, the poor match made by Angel di Maria are major question marks that Jose has now. What plans the Portuguese coach?
1) central defender: Sergio Ramos
This seems Mourinho's first move, which makes place in the starting eleven for Alvaro Arbeloa. Jose feels like David Villa or Pedro are extremely dangerous and fast on the 16 meters line at Messi or Xavi's vertical moves. In addition, the Argentinian miracle of Barca often appears in that area, so Jose would like a very quick quarterback in that area . That's the version with central defender Ramos along Carvalho and Alvaro Arbeloa in the right side, player who stays very well with the defensive.
2) Pepe remains in the middle as an antidote to Messi
The Portuguese made a great match in the championship and effectively blocked the start of the Catalans, used by Guardiola in a somewhat central zone. Pepe would again form a "trivote" with Xabi Alonso and Sami Khedira, but Jose is waiting to see which is the situation of Lassana Diarra, absent from the match on Saturday.
3) No trade striker in the land?
The coach thinks of ways to start the match without Benzema or Adebayor in the first minute. The big surprise could be the use as a holder of Mesut Ozil in a less common position, that of "false number 9". Cristiano will play normally the most advanced, if Jose decides to start without Benzema or Adebayor, but the surprise location of the line of attack might be: Cristiano and Di Maria in bands, Ozil, top.
