Joao Félix has gone in in free fall from does some weeks and seems that it goes to take a bit more in recovering . The Portuguese, that was acting against The Palms in the première of the 2024 and that went back to be 'signalled' by Xavi Hernández against the Barbastro being substituted after one of his multiple losses, also aims to the bench against Osasuna in the Supercopa of Spain.
The player yielded by the Athletic of Madrid carries months showing some irregularity and problems with the goal, but along December and in this start of year all seem to have increased. His passivity in defence and the little resolutivo that is being in attack has caused that his trainer 'harte' to give him opportunities. For the míster of Terrassa, the '14' no longer is indisputable in the left and in the Supercopa will take a conclusive decision in this appearance.
Ferran Torres has a lot of 'ballots' to be the left extreme headline of the Barcelona, at least against Osasuna. The Valencian is a much more engaged footballer that the luso in defensive facets, also has more mobility that he in attack and, besides, has added a goal more than him this campaign in fewer minutes of game. By all this, if it does not happen at all odd Xavi will have he of start in front of the 'rojillos', the same that happened in The Palms, where the ex of the City marked.
To Joao him 'leftover' quality and is missing him commitment
The immense quality of Joao results now insufficient for a Barça in low hours that needs also commitment and more mobility of his part. Andl Portuguese has vision, a lot of technician and a control oriented of 'crack' total, but in this Supercopa goes to pay expensive his passivity in the pressure and in defence, his little capacity goleadora or to be decisive in general, and in general his irregularity.
In spite of everything, with the one of Viseu always remains hope, the same that happens with all the stars that by some things or others do not give the performance that would have to give by level in the rough. Everything will depend on he and as it attain to take advantage of the big opportunity that will have definitely in the second half in front of Osasuna. Xavi will have he sure and in the minutes of which have will have to show the commitment that has not showed up to now and that could give him options to play the final, in case that it happen the Barça.
