Xavi Hernández gave opportunity to two of his fixed 'discards' for 2022-23 against Cádiz: Gerard Piqué and Memphis Depay. The central played a correct game, while the striker missed a great opportunity on Saturday
Memphis Depay Knows that it will not have a lot of minutes this season with the FC Barcelona. At least no, of safe, in the first semester, where started like the sixth attacker of a staff reinforced in all his lines. However, in front of the Cádiz, Xavi Hernández gave him back to the eleven, foreseeing the wear that will suppose the hard to visit the Tuesday to Munich to confront to the Bayern, but the Dutch did not take advantage of the opportunity.
The one of Moordretch, this yes, tried to associate with Raphinha and Ferran Torres from the pitazo initial. The Brazilian played to profile changed (by right) by the presence of the of Foios and went the most incisive of the attack blaugrana until the entry of Robert Lewandowski in the complement. The '22' was near to open the marker in the minute 6 with a derechazo that hit in the base of the stick, but neither Depay neither Ferran appeared to take advantage of the rebound.
The clearest for the forward of 28 years arrived in the minute 36. Centre of the debutante Héctor Bellerín, head butt of Ronald Araújo and ideal balloon so that the Dutch defined only in front of Jeremías Ledesma. However, the '14' erró in the definition with a zurdazo that left high. Together with the one of Raphinha, went the clearest of a first grey part for the Barça in which the Brazilian and his compatriot Frenkie of Jong were the best.
In fact, the mediocentro was the attendant to break the zero in the 55', just when Xavi had smart his first three variants. The team followed without reacting to 10 minutes of the complement and the technician egarense did not want to expect more. Robert Lewandowski by Depay; Ousmane Dembélé by Ferran and Pedri by Gavi. Paradoxically, so much the Pole like the French 'wetted' to close the goleada.
Memphis Will follow having minutes
The demanding calendar of the Barça forces to Xavi to bet by the rotations, by which Depay knows that it will follow having minutes so much in LaLiga as in Champions, where the Tuesday vió action in the goleada in front of Viktoria Plzen (15 minutes in the 5-1 in the Spotify Camp Nou). This yes, will be difficult to see him again like titling, more still when Lewandowski are still in 'way beast' launched to by the 'pichichi'. They are 6 so many in hardly 5 days; 9 in 6 parties. The '9' already is insustituible and Memphis knows it.
