Riqui Puig was one of the footballers of the FC Barcelona that were in the terrain of game in the defeat of the group of Ronald Koeman in front of the Athletic Club of Bilbao in the final of the Supercopa of Spain of the past Sunday. The canterano hardly had time to shine, since it jumped to the field during the extention when the Basques already went by in front in the marker.
In spite of this, Riqui Puig himself left some destellos of class on the lawn of The Cartuja, remembering him to Ronald Koeman that maybe the Dutch was making a mistake denying him to the canterano the leadership that deserves . On the contrary of what there was sucedido in the semifinal against the Real Sociedad, in front of the Athletic Club of Bilbao there was not happy final and the Supercopa of Spain went for Saint Mamés.
The defeat of the FC Barcelona in the first final of the 'was Ronald Koeman' was hard, but the team still has by in front the most important competitions: LaLiga Santander, the Champions League and the Glass of Rey. And, in fact, like this it reflected it Riqui Puig, in an optimistic tone on the same line of the that is used to to show in all his apparitions in front of the media.
Riqui Puig published a message in Instagram in which it regretted the defeat of the FC Barcelona in the final of the Supercopa of Spain, but remembered that the rest of big titles still are at stake. "Hard defeat in the final of the Supercopa when we had it near. It touches to raise and follow struggling by all what remains this season that therefore we are the Barça", wrote.
It will be necessary to see, from now, which paper does the FC Barcelona in the rest of competitions and especially which degree of leadership will have a Riqui Puig that asks to cries more opportunities. His level of game is very good and does to think that maybe it deserve to have a lot of more minutes of which has, independently of the taste futbolístico of Ronald Koeman.
The true is that his competition has diminished in the last weeks. First, with the injury that will have to Philippe Coutinho out of the terrains of game until March; second, by the course of Carles Aleñá to the Getafe. Now, the competition of Riqui Puig in the places of interior has reduced to Pedri, Frenkie of Jong and Miralem Pjanic -that also is natural relief of Sergio Busquets- by what the canterano can go in more easily in the rotations.
