Riqui Puig came back to marvel in the 'mini-derbi' with his technical details

The filial of the FC Barcelona did in the 'mini-derbi' what the Barça of Valverde did not achieve to do in the 'derbi': win. The ones of García Pepper received in the Stadium Johan Cruyff to the second team blanquiazul, in the corresponding party to the day of this past weekend in Second Division B. Once again, Riqui Puig was one of the names stood out.

The young Barcelona midfield player carries months expecting an opportunity with the first team that does not arrive, not even when Arthur Melo is lesionado and Carles Aleñá finish to go yielded to the Real Betis. Valverde Did not summon him of face to the 'derbi' of this past Saturday in Cornellá-The Prat, by what the trainer of the Barça B, García Pepper, yes conceded him the titularity in front of the filial 'parakeet'.

The culés won by 2-0 and, in several played, Riqui Puig redeemed and went back to show why deserves to rise to the first team, although initially it was of temporary form and in punctual parties. It treats of a midfield player with some big technical qualities, dynamic and that contributes freshness to break lines and exert of bridge between the defence and the attack.

In the played of the goal of Álex Hill, Riqui Puig lució with an exquisite pass of outside to Akieme, that was the one who finish assisting to Hill from the left band. The sequence of the pass of Riqui Puig did not take in doing viral through the social networks, as well as others of his dribblings and confined to the rival area.

Riqui Puig, a blow of cool air for the FC Barcelona

Big part of the fans barcelonista wait that Valverde recapacite and summon to Riqui Puig the before possible, for like this at least endow of some freshness to a Barça that in a lot of parties, as sucedió the past Saturday, is showing too monotone and predictable in his game. Every time it costs more generate occasions of danger when the rival shuts backwards, and Riqui Puig could be a solution for this.

For now, however, it follows relegado to the Barça B and Ernesto Valverde follows without giving indications that it go to have he in the first team. Owe the Barça keep him in the filial during the second half of the season? Or yield him to a club of First Division in which it can have minutes with regularity? The will of the footballer is to remain, when having still hopes to convince to the trainer of the first team.
