The 1x1 of the Barça midfielders since the arrival of Xavi

The centre of the field is without place to doubts the zone that better cover has the FC Barcelona. The Barcelona midfield is on the paper the perfect balance between experience, youth, talent and physicist. Sergio Busquets, Gavi, Pedri, Frenkie of Jong, Nico González, Riqui Puig and Sergi Roberto are the names that Xavi Hernández has to his disposal to lead in the zone in which for real it is born the football.

Nevertheless, the scarce age of Pedri, Gavi and Nico, the physicist of Busquets or the doubts that is leaving Frenkie of Jong, force to the Catalan trainer to have to create a system in which all seat comfortable and see benefited. For the moment, the feelings that have left the midfield players of the Barça are quite shoot and in 'FCBN', the same that did with the goalkeepers and defences culés, have wanted to analyse one to one how is going them with the ex of the To the-Sadd in the bench.

Frenkie Of Jong

If there is a player of the Barcelona that is disappointing especially this campaign is Frenkie. The Dutch had to give the jump that already expected that it gave the past course, but seems that even it has involucionado. His first part of the course with Ronald Koeman did not go especially brilliant and with Xavi has followed this way. It gives the feeling of not being comfortable on the lawn and the technician of Terrassa neither is knowing how take out more than him. His quality is undoubted, but if it does not improve and begins to mark differences, with Pedri of turn after his injury and with Nico pushing from backwards, can that it finish seeing more than a meeting from the bench. If it does not finish to explode, can that in summer the club blaugrana decide to listen offers by him, since has a lot of market.

Sergio Busquets

After 'go out' with Spain in the Eurocopa, expected that 'Busi' surrendered to a level seemed in the Barça, but has not been like this. With Koeman saw him the sewings in the most physical parties and with Xavi is sucediendo the same every time that there are duels of high intensity. The one of Badia needs a team that can minimise his fault of physicist and that know to take him out split to his still multiple virtues, but the míster egarense still has not attained to do this with continuity. Sergio is indisputable for him and has left it clear every time that they have asked him, but has to achieve that his fault of energy was not hurtful for the Barcelona. If the ex of the To the-Sadd attains to do this, will have to the best 'boss' possible so that Pedri, Gavi or Nico grow.

Gavi

The irruption of the talent of The Palaces has not had at all that envy him to the one of Pedri the past campaign. 'It went up' directly of the Juvenile To with Ronald Koeman by the drops that there was in the midfield and did not take almost at all in settling in the eleven headline. Quality, impudence, intensity and personality are the signals of identity of this offensive midfield player called to lead to the Barcelona a lot of years. When Xavi arrived, the Andalusian already was indisputable and has not left to be it with the one of Terrassa to the controls. It has been headline with the egarense in 8 of the 9 crashes in which it has been available and goes to be very important in what it subtracts of season. His agreement finish in 2023 and is a case to resolve by the club, but he wants to follow and is question of time that renew.

Pedri

This campaign was the one of the confirmation for a Pedri that went the big triunfador of the course happened in all Europe. Nominated to the Balloon of Gold, Golden Boy, chosen in the XI ideal of the Eurocopa... This year it went to be the one of the Canarian until the injuries separated him of the green. Ronald Koeman forced him too much and has finish being of drop almost three months. Luckily, Xavi already has him to his disposal and in the three parties that has played in this 2022 has been of the best of the Barça. It goes to be titularísimo for the Catalan trainer with total security and has to be one of the footballers that mark the way to be followed in what it subtracts of course.

Nico González

Ronald Koeman 'discovered' to the Galician, the same that it did it with Gavi. The Dutch began to give him opportunities so that it showed his enormous potential, but has been with Xavi in the bank when the midfield player has settled definitively in the first team. In fact, recently it announced that it already has index card with the greater and a dorsal, the '14', that will carry what subtracts of year. With the return of Pedri has lost 'weight' in the team, something that natural, but until the turn of the Tenerifean had enjoyed of seven titularities to the orders of Hernández. His polivalencia, power, route, dynamism and quality have dazzled to the míster, that has not doubted in doing him a fixed in the rotation.

Riqui Puig

Ronald Koeman had 'sentenced' to Riqui and only had he in 72 minutes during this season. The exit of the Dutch, therefore, offered him to the of Matadepera a big opportunity, since besides Xavi was a recognised admirer of his football. However, in spite of that with the one of Terrassa has had more minutes, 215 in total from his arrival, the feeling is that his situation neither has changed so much. The ex of the To the Sadd trusts more in him that his predecessor, but with Pedri recovered is evident that Puig is his last option for the midfield. With the Canarian of turn, the '6' has not played neither an alone minute in the last three crashes of the Barça, having even to Nico very by in front in the rotation. It says that it could go out yielded before the closing of the wintry market, although the most likely is that it remain and follow litigating for winning a gap.

Sergi Roberto

Although it has played some party of side this course, the one of Reus appears like one of the seven mediocampistas that has the Barça in staff. Ronald Koeman showed that Sergi was for him an important piece of bench, but is for seeing which paper gives him Xavi. The one of Terrassa still has not been able to have he by fault of his injury, that has kept him of drop the last three months. It seems that the míster will have he like player of role once recover , but before is necessary to see which raisin with his future. Roberto finishes agreement this summer and still has not renewed. It seems that before or afterwards it will do it, but it can not descartar of the all that this was the last campaign of the Catalan in the Barcelona.
