During the summer remained clear in several occasions that the big 'enamoured' of Joao Félix in the FC Barcelona was Joan Laporta and no Xavi Hernández. Under this stage the luso finished arriving yielded by a season to the Barcelona group, knowing that had a lot of options to be headline but would have to struggle constantly with the fact that the Catalan technician had not asked his arrival, and in fact, bet by a mediocampista offensive more, with a similar profile to the of the Argentinian Celso, as we already explain in FCBN this Friday.
However, Joao Félix adueñó quickly of the left extreme in the eleven headline of Xavi and began with an impressive level, marking goals and giving assistances in his first three parties like culé, although the 'magic' did not last much more. Further of the big parties of the forward in front of Port wine and Athletic of Madrid, chained almost 15 meetings without marking and in this month of December remained 'signalled' in several opportunities by his fault of effort and leadership on the field, something that as 'ACE' can can finish him costing his continuity with the T-shirt of the Barça.
The Athletic does not leave a lot of margin of hope to Laporta
The information signals that in addition to the little convencimiento that is generating in Xavi and his technical body, the economic managers of the club see practically unfeasible the figures that asks the Athletic by his signing next summer. In fact, from the dispatches culés do not understand too well the affirmation of Joan Laporta that the club is working in the continuity of the luso, by what the doubts grow to steps enlarged for the luso and each day has fewer adherents.
And it is that from the sportive, Xavi would have clear that prefers to bet in the next parties by a midfield player more, especially if finally it can achieve fichar any -probably yielded- in the market of winter. The injury of Gavi and the new annoyances of Pedri do that this operation was likely, by what Joao will have to litigate with forwards like Ferran, Lamine or Vitor Roque, but also with the idea of the Barcelona trainer to return to his system with four mediocampista, very successful in this same part during the past season.
The injuries of the Barça had helped to Joao Félix
In fact, after the defeat against the Real Madrid in Montjuïc, Xavi already had clear that the best option to solve the defensive problems and of circulation of the balloon was to await a pair of weeks more by the recoveries of Frenkie of Jong and Pedri, but by those days arrived the grave injury of knee of Gavi and allowed that Joao Félix was still in the XI, remembering besides that followed several parties more without marking by that time (principle and mediated of November).
