The past season, Riqui Puig left very good feelings when had the opportunity to play with the first team of the FC Barcelona. It is thus that expected that this season went, of the same way that Ansu Fati, an important piece of the project of Ronald Koeman. Nevertheless, the Dutch technician advised him leave yielded and, by the moment, still has not done him debut in an official party.
Like this the things, Riqui Puig has happened to discern a season that could be the one of his definite consecration in the first staff to have to accept that players like Frenkie of Jong, Sergio Busquets and Miralem Pjanic split with a lot of advantage.

Riqui Puig splits by behind other players, but also has the ventajade can occupy two positions in the 4-2-3-1 of Ronald Koeman. The first is more sacrificed, in the double pivote exerting as mediocentro organiser, with the need to have to somebody that save him the backs. For this role, as we have said, has to save the competition of Frenkie of Jong, Sergio Busquets and Miralem Pjanic, in addition to the one of Carles Aleñá and the one of Matheus Fernandes.

This position is usually occupied by Philippe Coutinho, that splits like theoretical headline, and by Pedri González, that acts like revulsivo. In said role, the canterano could play desahogado and with more freedom, although the competition of the Brazilian and the Canarian goes to be very hard.
