Three things Ernesto Valverde should do against Chelsea

Barca just defeated Eibar 2-0 and even though it wasn't the most convincing game, they have enough confidence to face the blues. Here are three things Ernesto Valverde should do against Chelsea :-

Use 4-4-2

As of late, Barca's midfield has looked a little shaky. They were a bit down against Espanyol, Getafe and Eibar. Also, Coutinho is going to miss this as he is not allowed to play the Champions League for the remainder of this season. But then why four midfielders ? Simple, to help shape their attack. I would say they go with Busquets, Rakitic, Iniesta and Paulinho. Dembele can come in later on. Paulinho can act like an attacking midfielders to help Messi and Suarez.

Play Yerry Mina

Tackling the likes of Alvaro Morata, Olivier Giroud, Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro requires a lot of strength from the Barca defence. Even though Pique and Umtiti are both strong, neither of them matches Yerry Mina's height, strength and agility. I say that he should get some playing time.

Make proper substitutions

Making the right substitutions is going to be decisive against Chelsea. If there is even a minor mistake with that, Chelsea are such a team who are going to make the most of it. Here are the substitutions that I recommend :-

Iniesta off for Dembele
Umtiti off for Mina
Roberto off for Semedo.

So if Ernesto Valverde wants a win at Stanford Bridge, he should work on these three points. Well here's the line up I recommend :-

4-4-2
GK - Ter Steven
Def - Roberto,Pique,Umtiti and Alba
Mid - Rakitic, Busquets, Paulinho and Iniesta
Att - Messi and Suarez

Hindi needs to be stopped being taught as a subject and this is why

I write this blog regarding the current education system in our country. My name is Hardik Sapra and I am fourteen years old and currently studying in Hyderabad. I wish to share this problem, I and many other people I know of, are going through. It is a well known fact that some parts of the country speak very good Hindi and some parts don't. This causes a line of division between the two groups and automatically puts the good Hindi speakers a foot ahead. This is a great disadvantage of the many South Indians, Bengalis, and so on, who are quite good at almost all subjects but are let down by this. I feel that judging students by their skills in sciences, humanities, arts, and other such fields, is a fairer way. Another thing is that in the coming future, as India makes itself a better developed country in the world, the need for Hindi will vanish and rightly so. It's more important to adapt to tomorrow's world than to live in yesterday's. Adaptation can't come witho...

Malaga vs Barca full match review and player ratings

  A good performance against the worst team in la liga without our best player Date - 10/03/2018 Stadium - La Rosaleda ( Malaga ) Barca travelled to Malaga for the clash (or is it?) between the first placed team in La Liga and the 20th placed team. Lionel Messi missed the game due to personal reasons, but the team didn't miss Messi one bit.  First 45 minutes All the damage was done for Malaga in the first half. Five minutes on Malaga keeper Roberto saved a shot from Suarez that was intended for the left bottom corner. 10 minutes later Alba gave a very Alba-like cross in and Suarez  nearly headed it in. Precisely 13 minutes later, Dembele came thundering into the box, did a fake and gave a left footed pass to Philippe Coutinho who tapped it in with his right heel. A couple of minutes later Manu Garcia was given a direct red after a clumsy challenge on Jordi Alba. Second 45 minutes Barca pressed more this time. Even though they could not convert, it has to be said that they...

HARDIK'S THEOREM

Hardik's theorem states that when two successive numbers are multiplied, the product obtained is closer to the square of the smaller number than the square of the bigger number, and the difference between the product and the smaller square is smaller by one unit than the difference between the bigger square and the product. For example, take two numbers 3 & 4 3 x 4 = 12 3^2 = 9 4^2 = 16 (3 x 4) - (3^2) = 12 - 9 = 3 (4^2) - (3 x 4) = 16 - 12 = 4 3 < 4  4 - 3 = 1 Quad Erad Demonstratum
