The Spanish defender of the Barcelona, Óscar Mingueza, has showed to be all a disclosure for the club. It went back to enjoy of the confidence of Ronald Koeman by in front. More still, afterwards of the incident of Ronald Araujo three days after the impase that had in front of the Getafe that the own Dutch technician commissioned to minimise in the press conference of minutes afterwards.

The youngster oriundo of Saint Perpètua of Mogoda, stood out in the axis of the defence like head office by the right and of his boots was born the first goal of the Barcelona with an excellent assistance that did him to Antoine Griezmann.

With so alone 21 years, Mingueza, that has contested already 35 of the 48 official parties of the first team in what it goes of the current season, already gave precisely his first assistance of goal to the French, that marked the goal of the victory (2-1) in front of the Athletic Bilbao in the Camp Nou on 31 January after an incorporation of the canterano by the right lane.

The offensive contribution of the Catalan defender, that did not commit neither a fault in the territory of the Villarreal, has translated besides this course with two goals: it Marked in front of the Huesca (5-1) the past 15 March and on 10 April followed suit in The Classical against the Real Madrid, although the Catalans fell 2-1. It debuted in Kiev on 24 November and little by little has arrived to turn into the ninth player with more minutes played (2.618) of the team between all the competitions.

As it has been able to know up to now, the Barça goes him to propose an extension of the agreement until the year 2023.

Surprised of his growth

The growth that has had like footballer, as well as the importance that has had for the first team, like this expressed it afterwards to having played in the last classical and have annotated the only goal that the Barcelona achieved to annotate him to the merengues. "If they say it to me does some months no create it to me, but is a reality now. A Classical that it was a penalty have not won".

I add that it does not leave to work to improve. "I come already doing a lot of work. Changing my fitness, trying take volume, taking care my feeding, the hours of dream. I have been more strict. And I have focused me a lot in the tactical subject, reviewing the parties, analysing my played to improve.
