Champions League 1 8 final first leg

Naples - Barcelona

Napoli could start 4-3-3

Goalkeeper Meret

Central defenders: Di Lorenzo, Rahmani, Juan Jesus, Rui

Midfielders Anguiza, Robertka, Caust or Traoré

Forwards Ngongo, Osimhen (?) Kvaratskhelia

Napoli's problem is not actually solved by the immediate change of coach or Osimhen's return, because Zielinski, the absolute main force in the left position of the midfield, has been hidden by the team, the team has fallen into a relatively big problem in the midfield organization, if Barcelona starts with 4 midfielders, Napoli will immediately fall into chaos.

Moreover, the confrontation ability of the two wing defenses is not good, and it is very difficult to limit Barcelona's Yamal.

Only Kvaratskhelia on the left is considered a strong point, but it is also isolated, if Osimhen can play to contain a certain amount of defense for him, Ngongo, a new signing on the right, may be able to target Cancelo, but that's all.

Defensively and in midfield, Napoli has no match for Barcelona.

Barcelona probable starters (4-4-2).

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen

Defence Kounde, Araujo, Cubasi (B list), Cancelo

Midfielders: Frenkie de Jong, Gundogan, Christensen, Rodri

Forwards: Yamal (B list), Lewandowski

Araujo, who was substituted at half-time in the league last week, should have no problem, and Barcelona's centre-back partners will still be him and Cubasi, who are both registered in Barca's Champions League B list and can play, and Barcelona will not hand over such an important Champions League knockout game to Iñigo, who has just recovered from a major injury. Martinez.

Gundogan, who came off the bench last week, will also enter the starting line-up, although Felix is back from injury, and Roque also started last week, but Barcelona's best starting hand at this stage is still De Jong, Gundogan, and Pedri are all sent out first, with Christensen who played a cameo in the back, and as for the addition of wingers, they can be left in the back hand to impact Napoli, because this can slightly strengthen the defense on the side.

From the perspective of positioning, this is also an important means to take advantage of Napoli's two wings to defend and the midfield to cooperate with the rusty.

So in this wing hedge, Barcelona will take away the victory away from home when both sides have scored more goals?

[Easter Egg].

Another game, of course, to continue to talk about our factory (Arsenal, the same below) game.

Champions League 1 8 final first leg

03:45 Porto - Arsenal

Porto's probable starting XI (4-2-3-1).

Goalkeeper Diogo. Costa

Defence: Joao Mario, Pepe, Fabio Cardoso (1), Wendell (1).

Defenders: Alan Barella, Ostachio (1).

Front: Pepe, Galeno, Conceição or Taremi (1).

Forward Evanilsson

Porto last week's league game, central defender Cardoso and left-back Wendell were suspended, this time will return to the starting line-up, while the core of the midfield Ostaquio is also resting in the league, the only questionable position is related to the son of manager Conceição, Iran international Taremi has been in average form after returning from the Asian Cup, if Porto do not continue to maintain the double striker (4-2-3-1 for a month), then Conceição Jr. may continue to replace Taremi's starting XI and appear in the winger position.

Porto's form and performance this season have declined to a certain extent, basically missing the league title, the summer transfer of Otavio to the Saudi league has a greater impact, Taremi's decline in form is also on the one hand, and the other striker Evanilsson has scored nearly 20 goals in the season, but the strong dialogue, especially the Champions League group stage two games with Barcelona can be seen to be not obvious.

More critically, due to conflicts with the manager, Portuguese Mesozoic central defender Catamo (12 league starts in the first half and 4 Champions League starts) was dealt with in the Greek league, resulting in the 40-year-old Pepe is still the absolute main central defender, whether it is emotional or defensive role

We may have to start (4-3-3).

Goalkeeper Raya

Defence Ben White, Gabriel, Saliba, Kiwior

Defenders: Rice, Odegaard, Kai Havertz or Jorginho

Forwards: Saka, Trossard, Martinelli

Although our factory continues to use set-pieces and grab the start of the way to achieve a big victory, but there are still certain problems in the lineup, the current injury list is piled up in the fullback and back position, we must continue to let Ben White and Kiwior two central defenders continue to play full-back, if it continues to be Havertz to start, instead of Jorginho, then it is basically still a 4213 position, can only use the attack to drive the defense, want to win away from home, I think you need a certain amount of luck, or the old Pepe has another red card?
