Andreas Christensen would not be happy with his role as a pivot at FC Barcelona

Andreas Christensen has been one of the big surprises of the FC Barcelona this season because of his change of role. The Danish has happened to play in his place in the centre of the defence, to be the mediocentro title of the Barcelona picture these last months. Xavi Hernández, that desconfiaba of Oriol Romeu and that wanted of pivote to somebody that gave greater defensive balance to the midfield that Frenkie of Jong or Ilkay Gündogan, finished betting by the ex of Chelsea, that has given a performance more than remarkable.

The Nordic has been the defensive midfield player of the Barça of regular form from February, when it premièred against the Alavés. After his good meeting in front of the 'babazorros', the trainer barcelonista did not doubt in giving him continuity to the experiment, having he in the half to title in the following five commitments of LaLiga and also the two of eighth of Champions League in front of the Naples. After some weeks lesionado, Andreas went back to be central in front of the Cádiz on 13 April after quite a lot of time without being it, but did not take in going back to the midfield and since has not gone back to go out of this zone.

Although in some moments have seen him some normal lacks in a player that never had played here with continuity, the performance of Christensen these months has been quite good. In defence has given some balance and in attack, because of his good deal of ball, has tried to play easy, without errors and, in occasions, even soltándose further up with some confined interesting. The feeling was that it was comfortable with this new paper, but in 'Tot Coast' have ensured this Thursday all the contrary.

Christensen wants to go back to be central

It seems that the Danish does not finish to adapt to his role of pivote and that does not see playing here of face to the next temporadto. The international by Denmark considers that it surrenders more and can contribute more things in defence and thus it would like him return to his position the course that comes, once the Barcelona have been able to fichar to the mediocentro that carries time looking for. The normal will be that Xavi fulfil with the wish of the 'vikingo', since Guido Rodríguez is almost fichado and works to bring also to Joshua Kimmich. With the arrival of both, Andreas would go back definitely to the saga and only would be an option of emergency for the centre of the field.

For Xavi has been a luck have Christensen in the midfield this campaign, since Oriol Romeu did not give the level when it touched him be headline and needed to somebody that could surrender here. The technician values a lot the work of the Danish, but the most likely is that it do not have any problem in giving back him to the centre of the defence when it confirm the arrival of Guido, of the that expects that it can give much more that Romeu, and especially if it finish arriving also Kimmich.
