When Quique Setién did the cases and arrived Ronald Koeman, under the premise to rejuvenate to the team, give off of some 'holy cows' and give more leadership to the young talents of the club, few imagined that Riqui Puig did not go to have lace in the plans of the technical revolutionary Dutch, a specialist to the hour to boost the progression of the diamonds in the rough that it has gone finding during his path like trainer.
The surprise, however, jumped the day in that it filtered to the press (can that by the own surroundings of Riqui, although it is not clear) that Koeman did not have the one of Matadepera, and that had advised him in fact that it looked for team to go out yielded and enjoy of minutes. Something that called the attention, as Koeman himself had the rest of promises that also were susceptible of cession (Pedri, Trincao, Aleñá, Junior...), and no with a Riqui that had finish the season 2019-20 playing a lot of minutes under the control of Quique Setién.
It was advancing the season, happened the parties and the participation of Riqui Puig was far from the expected. In fact, to date so only it has played 77 minutes delivered in four parties, something residual, and does only some days Koeman seeded the doubt in the barcelonismo when leaving in the air that, perhaps, the attitude and form to train of the canterano were not the suitable in comparison with other players like Ronald Araújo, those who himself leave the skin.
Only those who have access to the trainings to enclosed door of the FC Barcelona will know really if Riqui Puig puts all his obstinacy, or no, in improving his situation in the Barça and win to pulse the minutes. It was as it was, by the words of Koeman does not seem that the Dutch technician have foreseen to change radically his form to handle the 'Case Riqui' in the second half of the course, by what perhaps the best solution for the one of Matadepera would be to go out.
A cession could be the best solution
Offers in quality of yielded, sure, will not be missing him so much in LaLiga as abroad. It would be a way to free , to begin to accumulate minutes can that splitting from the eleven headline in a team medianamente competitive and, if really it attains to impose to the pressure and take out to relucir all the talent that has in the boots, the cession only would be a 'impasse' before returning to the Barça stronger, more mature.
Fault, clear, that the player accept this possibility. In previous occasions has denied to go out of the club when being convinced that it could win the respect of the trainer and accumulate minutes in the first team of the Barça. This did not occur with Ernesto Valverde, with Quique Setién only in the final stages of the past League and, with Ronald Koeman, never has sucedido. Clear indications that, so that no escape him the train, can that Riqui Puig have to take another express of alternative form, that transport him to a station in passing. It will be necessary to see if it seals the note.
