The error of Eric García in front of the Villarreal, that almost finish with a clear occasion against, has not played to 'favour' of the central Catalan, the one who carries three parties without seeing minutes
One of the big novelties (or surprises, better said) of Xavi Hernández for the party of the Barça against the Osasuna wasl to titularity of Samuel Umtiti, the one who up to now had not debuted in this season. The central French went back to play, but was an unexpected election, considering that in normal situations has to a few players by in front of him in the 'career' for being headline.
The trainer egarense commented that it was a technical decision and that Umtiti, the one who came training well, deserved to be headline. It left 'backwards' to Clément Lenglet and Eric García, those who came adding a lot of minutes in the last parties. The Catalan, however, already carries three clashes without getting dressed of short: in front of the Real Betis, Bayern of Munich and this Sunday in the duel against the Osasuna. Before, against Espanyol and Villarreal, had played the 90 minutes. In front of the Benfica played 4'.
It was precisely his performance against the 'groguets' when Xavi understood that the central was not in his best moment. It starred a controversial action. Eric García failed in a pass backwards, Danjuma hunted the ball but blocked it Hammered practically with the hand. For 'miracle' of the Barça, the referee neither the VAR pitaron at all, but since the central has not played in the absolute.
Xavi Hernández wanted to remove him all the controversy to the absence of Eric García, once again, in the alignment and aimed in press conference that the titularity of Umtiti is due to a tactical appearance: "it Was a party so that the central won the duels. It has trained well. I think that it has done a good party. They deserve play all. All give the face. It does not arrive us by football, but is not by the attitude. It has been a technical and tactical decision".
It will play against the Elche?
In front of the Elche, next Saturday in the Camp Nou, can go back to be headline with the Barça. Gerard Hammered will not be present, by accumulation of cards, and the most likely is that the ex of the Manchester City can play from the beginning to accompany to Ronald Araújo in the axis of the defence. Has an opportunity of 'reinvindicarse' with Xavi and will do lacking to see if it can take advantage of it.
