What about Villa?

First of all apologize if any of you the question in the title leads you to think of David Villa with bangs lifted by the grace of some whitish liquid. I can not help me, I admit. But the question I pose is to be asked: What about Villa?

Until a couple of weeks I did not give any importance to the number of minutes he was playing Villa since his return to competition after a long low because of the broken fibula he suffered almost a year ago, at the World Cup Cup. It seemed a wilderness theme, another invention of the press Real Madrid with a clear intention pernicious, something common between the two caves: the bile with airlift. However, now beginning to have my doubts about this El Guaje, FC Barcelona and, logically, also on its future. And not by the crowing of the enemy press, because I still think that talking to talk.

Until a few days ago was considered Tito Vilanova Villa lining up to much less than what most of us would like for one reason. It seems such an important player did not want to risk him more than necessary, but always convinced that he has played has demonstrated a good physical tone and have no fear of physical contact, preferring to be cautious reintroduced gradually Villa even below the limits recommended by the medical profession. But I have my doubts.

I wonder if, whether they may have a competitive rate less than their peers, Villa has dropped several positions in the preferences of their new coach. Since then it seems that the two posts to accompany Messi, Villa in fourth place, behind Pedro, Cesc and Alexis. Not to mention the use of Iniesta as far left (with or without the playmaker Cesc) or more than possible to use resource-Tello as broken games, being as it is the most explosive end of the entire workforce.

Alexis output to field Cesc injury after ten minutes into the match against Betis surprised us all, I guess. While Villa available and coming as the Chilean injury (discharged only 48 hours), many frown and exclaim: And Villa? Sale why not Villa?

Maybe the reason is purely tactical and certainly not went wrong for Vilanova: Messi's first goal could only exist through the corridor that creates the Boy Wonder with a movement without the ball you have to burn to teach at the Masia. But no longer is that Villa is not the first change is that directly did not play a minute. The other two changes were Mascherano for Barca Puyol and Thiago by Peter, the latter looking for more control in midfield, where Betis got serious problems for the Blaugrana.

But not only should ask if Vilanova Villa have lost confidence, but we should also consider the idea that El Guaje are not working well or at least not with the best attitude. Feeling substitute for real, as he had never been in his career, may have dented his disposition and behavior. Certainly some gestures that we have seen (in the moments when he is replaced and some other) suggest that it can not hide his displeasure (or, directly, you do not want to). In his famous discussion with Messi, no way. I do not think that has any bearing on the current situation in the Villa team. See who has no more or less ugly brawl occasionally with a co-worker ...

All indications are that Villa will play today or yes to the Cordoba in the first leg of the knockout stages of the Copa del Rey. However, their competition in today's meeting is not indicative of much. Hold today will not mean you have regained a prominent place. It may even represent the opposite: Barça alignments in these games are usually full of the unusual. In fact, in the last six games of Barca Villa has played in only two that were irrelevant: the return of the knockout Cup against Alavés and final day of the first phase of the Champions League against Benfica, with the first since the group already assured.

The current place in the new club Villa Tito Vilanova what we will discover in the first games of 2013. I find it very difficult to decide at Barça give out during the winter, but if the role of El Guaje luxury as a substitute is maintained throughout the remainder of the season, which would be difficult to believe is that Villa did not find life away from Barcelona. It seems that, to this day, can have a guaranteed starting spot in other European cockerels, like Manchester United and Bayern, but surely many others would treat him with open arms, both large have come down, as Arsenal , Chelsea, Liverpool, Milan, Inter ... like millionaires spenders: City, PSG ...

I want to see El Guaje many years at the club, but if you have to go, I have a favorite destination: Juventus. La Vecchia Signora, in the hands of Antonio Conte, is poised to return to the continent noble positions. They play a great (especially remembering what style come) and only lack a killer: Villa, Bianconeri, could eat Italy from the Alps to Sicily.
