If something can define a complete season in the football of higher level, is the long and cambiante that can be for all the protagonists. Xavi, in his first course from beginning to end in the bench of the FC Barcelona, has checked it and one of the greater examples have been the important quantity of injuries with which has had to lidiar during the last months.
From before it arrived the stop by the World-wide of Qatar already in the Camp Nou were having headaches with the infirmary, and in the 2023 the situation has not changed. In spite of the bad news that have followed arriving, no all have been negative news for Xavi since in the last pair of weeks has 'discovered' to Eric Garcia that in addition to head office also is now an option for the midfield.
It opened an opportunity that has changed a lot
The defender formed in The Masia has taken advantage of the drop of his mate Andreas Christensen to go out of the bench and remember that it is an interesting footballer for the present and future of the Catalan club. The one of Martorell recently approved his examination in the demarcation of pivote against the Elche (0-4), being one of the most stood out players of the crash and afterwards repeated it in the 'grey' tie culé in front of the Girona the past Monday, now yes like head office.
Afterwards that does perhaps a month the ex Manchester City seemed to have a foot in the ramp of exit for the summer, although it went in condition of yielded, this next Sunday in front of the Getafe could add a new titularity, achieving like this his second better series of titularities in League of this campaign, remaining to one of the four days that added in the start of the season.
It has arrived the moment that the defender strengthen
Eric Garcia had won the confidence of Xavi in the first stretch of the course, as well as in the past season, but his leadership went diluting paulatinamente until the point that it did not have any minute in important appointments. The Koundé, Christensen, Araújo and even Marcos Alonso left him out of the team, remembering also that in front of the Inter of Milan in Champions did not have a night hit, as almost all the defence.
Now the possibility to advance his position and play in the centre of the field worked and would not be odd that with the comfortable situation of the Barça in LaLiga, Xavi go back to test to the canterano in the medullary. His vision of game, exit of balloon and anticipation turns him into an effective to take into account for the pivote, especially with the future in the air of Sergio Busquets and a defence that even will add to Iñigo Martínez this summer.
