Andreas Christensen begins to hartarse of his role of 'apagafuegos' in the defence of the FC Barcelona. The Danish has played a lot this season thanks to the physical problems of Iñigo Martínez and the doubts in the performance of Alejandro Balde. However, the ex head office of Chelsea considers that it deserves more minutes, since his level has been acceptable in the middle of the toneless collective performance of the saga culé.

Up to now, the '15' has contested 22 parties (1.616 minutes) in all the competitions, with 12 titularities by League, but grieve six complete parties in the tournament. And it is that, when Xavi wants to do a retouching to his defence, the one of Lillerød is a change sung, in several opportunities after the rest. The last time that the player of 27 years remained in the changing room during the halftime was in front of the Almería (3-2).

Christensen no descarta go out in summer if it does not attain to win the titularity

After the Supercopa Spanish has especulado with the idea of Xavi to put to Christensen like defensive pivote, in place of the role of líbero that has occupied in the line of three defenders improvised that, up to now, has not given results to the Barça. The egarense gives by lost the possibility of fichar a mediocentro in January because of the fault of money, by which would test with the Danish in a place where, the past season, followed suit with Eric García.

Further of this possibility, the plans of Andreas aim to win the place in the eleven of definite form. Understanding that so much Jules Koundé like the own Ronald Araújo have had toneless recent performances, the international Danish believes to deserve a vote of confidence of Xavi the one who, in spite of his rotations, follows trusting fully with the one of Lillerød. In case to decide go out, the '15' could leave in box some 30 million euros, a figure more than acceptable considering that it arrived free in 2022.
