Sergi Roberto will be at Barcelona for one more season and Xavi has already defined his work for him. The man from Reus will act as captain and guide of the team, as well as as a possible 'emergency' revulsive in midfield or on the right side
The polifacético player of the FC Barcelona, Sergi Roberto, has renewed his agreement and will dress the T-shirt culé by a season more. It is very known that it can exert in multiple positions in the terrain of game, like mediocentro, inner or lateral, but which will be his function in the team of Xavi for this season?
The one of Tarrasa sees to Roberto like one of the referents of the club, since it is the only captain that remains of the 'old policeman' of the Barcelona group. For this reason, it will designate it like bearer of the strip in this campaign. Sergi is seen by the team like a player 'joker' necessary, which can be used like revulsivo in several positions of the terrain of game.
Right side, the position to which had to adapt
Although it is not his original position, the one of Reus has played more than half of his parties in the City Condal like right side. Xavi does not see it like titling, since would be betting by Jules Koundé or possibly Fresneda, in case of ficharle. However, in cases of 'emergency', Roberto could play like side by right or be an option in the parties for rotar if Julián Araujo or Sergiño Dest do not finish doing the team for the coming campaign.
Pivote, an option to experience
In front of the game of Sergio Busquets, Oriol Romeu could fill this empty in the next days. Although Xavi has mentioned that it could experience with head offices in this position - case Christensen and García -, the '20' culé would show like an option of backrest in case to be necessary.
Interior, his natural position
Roberto could play like interior, his original position in the field. However, this season the Barcelona has an excedente of players in this position, like Pedri, Gavi, Of Jong, Torré and the recently fichado Gündogan, although all seem to be by in front of him, does not mean that the Catalan do not leave to be valued like an option for the medullary zone of the club.
