However, the ball is in the 'roof' of Xavi, the one who has diverse options to occupy the place of Busquets. In addition to Miralem, so much Frenkie of Jong like Franck Kessié also could act like axes of the medullary Catalan. Nevertheless, the complicated situation of the Dutch with the institution and the profile of 'box to box' of the marfileño could finish decanting the 'scales' in favour of Pjanic, the one who is more than ready to take advantage of his first big opportunity of the course.
