Ronald Koeman and the FC Barcelona 'pushed' to Riqui Puig to leave so much the past summer like this winter. The club and his technician thought that the best for his progression was to go yielded to play the minutes that did not go to have in the Barça. The Dutch hardly had had the one of Matadepera until does some weeks and gave the feeling that his situation did not have gone back of leaf.
Luckily for the offensive midfield player, all seem to have changed and gives the impression that his trainer every time seems to trust more in him. The international Sub-21 Spanish has played in the six last parties of the group barcelonista and even has been headline in two of them, the ones of Glass of Rey. This, does a pair of months seemed unthinkable, since until 9 January of this 2021 so alone had contested 78 minutes between all the competitions.
With the new year, the situation of Riqui has given a complete twist and since has played a total of 186 minutes in the 8 meetings that have contested the blaugrana. Of these 8 commitments, the canterano has gone in to the field in six, precisely the last six. This past Wednesday, in Vallecas, the mediocampista even was headline, as already it went it in the dieciseisavos of Glass of the King against the Cornellà.
The young footballer arrived to the crash in front of the Ray Vallecano days after marking his first official goal with the T-shirt of the Barcelona. In Elche, Koeman gave him hardly 3 minutes more discount, but this was sufficient so that the one of Matadepera sentenced the duel. In the first balloon that touched, Puig cabeceó a big centre of Frenkie of Jong of form so surprising like magistral to put the 0-2 in the marker.
Riqui Left good feelings in Vallecas
After a moment so special like that, the technician of Zaandam did not doubt in going back to 'throw' of him for the Glass. In Vallecas, the Catalan played 68 minutes and went back to show the reason whereby little by little is winning more opportunities. Although in the first part was something errático in the pass, left spare samples of his quality and of why is a special player that can give him a lot of things to his team.
The canterano accelerated the game of the culés whenever it went in in contact with the spherical and facilitated a lot of contras. Besides, the half went back to have a very clear opportunity to mark, but in this occasion, after a good cut inside the area, Riqui saw like his shot bumped with a defender of the Ray that commanded the ball to the stick. In the minute 68, with the party 0-0 and in front of the need to change something to go to by the victory, Koeman substituted him to give entrance to Pedri. A necessary relief for the Barcelona, but that does not subtract merits to another good performance of Riqui.
