In the last weeks, the role of Oriol Romeu has been in discussion. From his performance against the Port wine, at the beginning of October, has gone leaving 'proofs' that it is not in his best level or that, in his defect, his level is not the necessary to play in the FC Barcelona. It has been inconsistente, has left unprotected to the team backwards and has remained 'sold' in a lot of actions that, later, finish in attacks of the rivals or, directly, in goals.
The antidote that has found Xavi Hernández is to delay the positions of Ílkay Gündogan and Gavi so that both split from the base of the played. It is how it has seen the best version of the team and, for example, with both 'together' in the Classical the blaugrana were able to sustain to the Real Madrid and move him away of the area of Ter Stegen successfully. It was, in fact, from the entry of Oriol Romeu (and Robert Lewandowski) that the team began to fall , leave gaps and doubts.
The Barça already thinks in 'solutions'
It was a very questioned performance and forces to the Catalans to take letters in the subject. A new information of 'Relief' suggests that the Catalans have determined that it is 'urgent' achieve the incorporation of a mediocentro defensive that can 'replace' to Romeu. They insist that, in question, the one of Ulldecona generates doubts in the breast of the club. The credit that had would be him exhausting and already would be analysing new alternatives to reinforce his centre of the field in the market of wintry signings, although it depends on the solutions that can find the culés with the Fair Play.
It does not be necessary to overlook that to incorporation of Romeu was thanks to Xavi. After descartan several alternatives by economic appearances, the blaugrana posed his look in the player that formed in The Masia and that had had a positive step in the Premier League and, especially, in the Girona in the last season. His figure was key in the season of promotion of the gerundenses and signed an exceptional year that 'caused' that his incorporation to the Barça went logical.
Romeu Loses validity without Frenkie of Jong
His big capacity to recover balloons, impose in front of the rivals and agrandarse in the duels turned him into one of the best pivote of LaLiga, but the challenge -for the moment- has remained him too big, at least up to now. It benefited a lot of his society with Frenkie of Jong, but since the Dutch is in the infirmary has been a 'drama' for him... Until the point that, every time that plays, remains very distinguished.
