Barca, against Malaga and overconfidence

The club faces the second of three matches against Malaga in ten days, this time with the King's Cup at stake. Tito Vilanova wants his players flee relaxation and overconfidence can produce in them the great game they played in the Rose Garden and ending with a final 1-3 to the Catalans.

That victory is useless for the purposes of the Cup and the club is well aware of them. In principle, Manuel Pellegrini has reserved two of their most important players, Joaquin and Toulalan. This would indicate that you are thinking more about the matchup against the Celtic League in Messi and company. However, to have the second leg at home is likely to present an eleven Chilean coach more conservative in the Camp Nou and try to burn his ships in the second leg.

Tito Vilanova still can count on David Villa, still hobbled by sore hamstring in his right leg. The Spaniard is, with Abidal and Cuenca, the only player low right now.

In any case, the repertoire of available Barca coach is vast in all lines. José Manuel Pinto in goal and Leo Messi, who can finally deliver his fourth Golden Ball to the fans at Camp Nou, as fixed point. From here, Tito could do as in the Cup match against Córdoba and give a break to some of the regulars in the league. Xavi Hernandez and Jordi Alba be allowed the space for a day, Thiago and Alexis.

This does not mean that Vilanova will make a revolution because it is aware that the pass to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey goes to get a good result tonight to travel to La Rosaleda. But the overwhelming quality of the template allows you to input variations, without sacrificing the quality of the set.
