The youth revolution: Ansu, Riqui and Ronald ask for passage

Before the pandemia forced the world of the sport to postpone his competitions, Quique Setién was following a methodology very resembled the one of Ernesto Valverde: bet by the safe values, throw of experience and not giving too much leadership to the quarry. The Cantabrian, in some press conference, already insinuated that if the youngsters wanted to more minutes had to take a step forward.

And it seems that this step is arriving after the resumption of the football. With parties each three days, the rotations are very necessary and more in a so short staff like the one of the FC Barcelona. If in addition to this, add that the new rule implanted after the pandemia allows until five replacements, the result has been that youngsters that did not have prominence before the stop, yes have it now.

In Mallorca arrived the turn of Ronald Araújo, Uruguayan defence that still had not been headline with the first team in an official party. And his performance, in spite of that it did not have a big requirement, was excellent. The charrúa showed a big confidence with the balloon in the feet and a good defensive solidity and positional when it touched him close. An unambiguous signal for Setién that it is here and that it can throw of him without fearing, with total security.

Against the Leganés, arrived the titularity of Ansu Fati and, in spite of that only it played 45 minutes, had time of cuajar a performance that situated him between the best of the party. With his usual impudence, the canterano encaró and generated big played of danger, in addition to marking a golazo that served to inaugurate the marker against the team of Javier Aguirre, that was closing well. A big return after have not played in Mallorca.

And, finally, it touched him the turn to a Riqui Puig that it did not want to remain backwards.​ The Catalan midfield player had little more than 20 minutes to claim , but went sufficient time com to do it. The canterano associated with his mates, generated game and even brushed the goal in two occasions of danger that did not finish going in by the tarpaulin of 'Pichu' Cuéllar. This yes, seems that the boy is very enchufado.

The youngsters also explain

Ronald Araújo, Riqui Puig and Ansu Fati can turn into three reinforcements of luxury of face to a final stretch of season with a calendar of parties very concentrated. The fatigue to play so many meetings in so little time after three months without competing will force to Quique Setién to rotar and, apparently against Mallorca and Leganés, the youngsters are had to turn into alternative of weight.
