Laporta imposes Riqui Puig even at the cost of harming Gavi

Although in these moments is going through one of his worst moments along the history, the FC Barcelona is and always will be one of the best teams of the world. To play in the Barça it is necessary to be very good, it is necessary to work a lot and even sometimes is necessary to have something of luck. Thus, even many good players remain by the way and do not arrive to triumph in the group barcelonista.

This case mentioned could be the one of Riqui Puig, that arrived to the first team does two seasons like the big jewel of the Masia, but that to his 22 years follows without having won a place. Ernesto Valverde did not explain too much with him, Quique Setién neither gave him so many minutes as it expected and Ronald Koeman has showed from the first day that does not like him and that does not want him in the staff.

The problem for the Dutch trainer is that in the club do not agree with he. Joan Laporta himself seems to believe in the qualities and in the projection of the of Matadepera and would have asked him to the technician that him of more minutes from now. That would be one of the conditions imposed so that the Dutch can keep on being preparador of the Barça the course that comes, since it finishes agreement in 2022 and would have to renew to continue.

As they explain, the president wants that the Masia win weight in the first team and Riqui is a player that fits him to perfection with this philosophy and with the style of game that wants to see. However, it bumps that the Barcelona mandator take this decision taking into account that it would prejudice directly to which is right now one of the greater promises of the quarry of the Barcelona, Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, more known like Gavi.

The Andalusian has given the jump directly from the Juvenile To and has explained a lot for Koeman during all the pre-season. The Dutch has finish loved with him and therefore already it has done him debut in this start of League in spite of having only 17 years. Without Pedri, that had holidays, the canterano played something more than a chamber of hour against the Getafe leaving good feelings and showing his desparpajo and quality.

Give him more minutes to Riqui Puig would prejudice to Gavi

Taking into account that Frenkie of Jong, Pedri and Sergio Busquets are intocables in the 4-3-3, in the bench would remain Riqui; the own Gavi; Nico González; it can that Philippe Coutinho, although it was not his place; and Álex Hill, that seems jo be of the taste of Ronald. Right now, Nico seems to be the acting preferred of the míster for rotar to the means and Gavi seems to be by behind. Therefore, Laporta is asking him directly to the Dutch that Puig advance in the rotation to the Andalusian and can that also to the Galician, that is mediocentro but to the that the preparador also uses of interior.

Although in the football there is not at all writing, the experts in the quarry barcelonista ensure that Gavi is a much more stimulating project that the one of Matadepera. By this reason, surprises that to consciousness the president want to that his trainer bet by the canterano that, in principle, has fewer probabilities to triumph. This invites to think that his request could not having to see only with the football, although the reality is that only the time will say why 'Jan' prefers to Riqui to the detriment of the projection of a still better jewel.
