Almería-Barcelona ... The Catalans are seeking to return to a Final Copera

Almeria morning at home facing the second leg of the Copa del Rey with the aim of restoring the honor damaged after the drubbing in the first leg (5-0), achieving a victory against Barcelona, which looks at what would be his Thirty-fourth Final Copera Spanish. A victory in the Tour of the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, even for the slightest difference, for Almería represent at least close with a final flourish the better participation in the tournament history butler.

French Sofiane Feghouli, the latest addition to the USA in the winter market is the main novelty in the squad has released coach Jose Luis Oltra, after the young footballer Frenchman, on loan from Valencia, has completed their first training session with the squad also Pellerano, who was not in Anoeta last Saturday, returns to the call, while they have been outside the Juanma Ortiz, injury, and Juanito and Pablo Marcelo Silva Piatti, technical decision.

Almeria team faces the duel as a reward for a great season in the Cup and, although aware of the difficulties facing the Barcelona, hoping for a good image that will affect the appearance of mind with a view to the League. Thus, Oltra bet on the rotations and even the Feghouli could come home on the computer, which will surely have to Carlos Garcia and Pellerano as a couple of plants.

The Barcelona tends to play its thirty-fourth copera final. The team coached by Pep Guardiola travel with a substantial lead and the renewed enthusiasm after opening gap in the league with Real Madrid stumble. If the Barcelona final pass to have covered one of his goals for the season, returning to the final of the missing since the 2008-09 season.

It was then his great campaign, when he won all the titles at stake, including the Copa del Rey final after thrashing at the Athletic Club (4-1). Guardiola, yet all the details, has decided to convene the entire staff for the match, but surely reserved for a few headlines. Has three players injured (Carles Puyol, Jeffren Suarez and Andres Iniesta) that will not play.

It may even allow you to rest the Argentine Leo Messi, the player who does not want to miss a minute but tomorrow it could start from the bench. Although it is evidence that the Barcelona has everything going for it, Guardiola fleeing the euphoria and put their players on notice. We will see what happened in the previous qualifying round, with a similar scenario, a 5-0 against Betis in the first leg and 2-0 in favor of the diabetics in the seventh minute of the round.

The reality is different. The Catalans have it all again become favorable for Cup finalists, which has already achieved 33 times with a high success rate (25 titles). Guardiola might consider giving a new opportunity to the team that lost to Sevilla (Real Betis). Pinto play again, the usual Cup matches, while on defense and Milito Adriano could return to take a chance.

The doubt is who will accompany Milito. Guardiola fielding Piqué, as against Betis, or rely on Eric Abidal and central seconds, with the only drawback that then play two-handed power. On the left, Maxwell could be chosen or Adriano play for that band and align the right wing with Dani Alves, having recovered from his hamstring injury as he did in the last game.

In midfield, the Argentine Javier Mascherano has a position as a midfielder, while Seydou Keita in midfield, usually alternate, also seems to have a seat reserved. The third midfielder is unknown. Up front Bojan Krkic and Ibrahim Afellay could be the bet of Guardiola, who must decide between David Villa and Leo Messi as a third striker.

Almería Probable lineups: Stephen, Michel, Carlos Garcia, Pellerano, Luna, Vargas, M'Bami; Feghouli, Corona, Cruse, Goitom. Barcelona: Pinto, Alves, Milito, Abidal, Adriano, Mascherano, Keita, Xavi, Bojan, Villa, Afellay. Referee: Ayza Gamez (Committee Valencian). Stadium: Mediterranean Games.

Time: 13:00 Central Mexico
