Xavi is right about the pivot

Date:

Due to what has been seen in the present, Xavi He was right when he said that Barça’s main priority last summer was to sign a top-level replacement for Busquets. For whatever reason, the wishes of the technician, that Zubimendithe German Kimmich and the Croatian Brozovic, in this order. Economic operations seem too costly, although no one hesitates to tie the knot Vitor Roque for 30+31 million euros in the winter market.

In the end, he signed Oriol Romeu. A great player who excelled at Girona and ended up at Barça with the ‘simple’ mission of making an entire team forgettable. Sergio Busquets. Almost nothing! The invention did not work very well and, now, a solution was improvised Christensen as a pivot. The spontaneous Danish center back is trying to quickly adapt to a position that is not his and never will be. He seems to be playing resigned, and he doesn’t seem very motivated to succeed in that area of ​​the field.

Last season’s Barça was the envy of its defensive prowess, but just a few months later it was stumbling like a fool, with no one realizing what had changed from one season to the next. Defensive errors, collective and individual, occur and demoralize the culés who this season will face the games in an unprecedented state of nerves. In recent games there has been an improvement in the defensive system but many mistakes have sealed Barça’s course in this Liga and given wings to a Real Madrid that remains the leader of LaLiga scoring fewer goals than Xavi (54 for 56) but conceded. less (16 for 34).

What is certain is that the group has Busquets in the pivot position, Jordi sunrise left behind now Koundé (although obviously annoying) on ​​the right side. The first two moved to America and stepped aside to allow the rejuvenation of a group that needed new wisdom and Koundé From being a defensive guarantee to making incomprehensible mistakes for a player his size. This summer, signing a top center should once again be a priority, regardless of cost.

This summer, signing a top center should once again be a priority, regardless of cost. With a good pivot, the stabilization of the very young Cubans, Fermin and Lamine Yamal and the possibility of his return Ansu Fati We could be facing a Barça ready to return to the top.
