Pau Cubarsí will be seventeen today. certainly one day after his debut as a starter (he had already made his debut, albeit from the bench, in a Cup match against Unionistas de Salamanca) in Betis-Barça. The central boy is already a full ballot solved at a very high level and leaves data that confirms its status as a reference center for the future.
Cubarsí, at the age of a first-year youth, he played with solvency and authority of a veteran. He was substituted in the 81st minute after suffering bumps due to the intense effort and during that time he was the fourth player, out of fourteen entered by Xavi, with the most interventions (69), surpassed only by Ilkay Gündogan (127), Frenkie de Jong (118) and Jules Koundé (74).
ONE AGAINST ONE INSURANCE
He didn’t commit any fouls and hold the two ‘hand in hand’ well very dangerous in Betic’s transitions in the second half, becoming all insurance for an advanced defense like that used by Barcelona.
But in the statistical section where he especially shines is passing accuracy. Pau Cubarsí left the records of true marshals of defense: he achieved 93.5% pass accuracy, the absolute leader of the team in this section. He is almost always the author of the first pass, from behind, on the left profile of a defense that in attack closes three due to the rise of Balde. The team game started at that place. But 4 of his passes occurred in the final third of the field, on surge attacks. And in that last victory his success rate was 100%, ahead of Frenkie de Jong’s 86.4% and Pedri and Gündogan’s 81.8%.
Cubarsí’s notes on a challenge like Villamarín’s They match up with a complete defensive quarterback, with playmaking leadership and authority over forwards in the defensive phase. Stellar figures from a vintage power plant project. Who knows if a new Piqué.
