The physical requirement was being very high for a player of 16 that, although it was dazzling and comporting as one of the 'lights' of the Barça in attack, is living his first experience in the elite and needs his stage of transition to join up and that the physicist accompany him. In front of the drops in attack and the little offensive solvency, was being a fixed in the XI and finish in the infirmary.
