Xavi and his commitment to Oriol Romeu, a reality from day one

Xavi Hernández planted like priority the fichar to a new mediocentro for this season after receiving the confirmation of Sergio Busquets that it would not renew and would leave to the FC Barcelona after a decade and half being the 'owner' of the position. However, the economic situation of the Catalan team did that the plans changed a bit for the míster egarense, although finally Oriol Romeu turned into this pivote that so much looked for the Barcelona trainer.

With the possibilities of Zubimendi, Kimmich or Brozovic being descartadas by his respective prices, Xavi bet by an option 'low cost' as the one of the mediocampista of 31 years and arrived from the Girona by less than 5 million euros to offer immediate performance. Precisely this last is what already has showed Oriol in his first minutes with the Barça, in his return to the club where formed .

From the technical body were convinced that Romeu would adapt to the system futbolístico of the Barça and like this has been. The one of Ulldecona has been one of the three footballers that has added a plenary of titularities in the four parties of pre-season, beside the already strengthened Araujo and Pedri, showing that it has arrived to play and to be a key name in the season culé.

Oriol Romeu will have to give the definite jump with the Barça

Now it arrives the key moment for the mediocentro since this Sunday starts the competition of official form. Oriol Romeu already was one of the most essential footballers in the Girona of Míchel the past course, being indispensable for the also Catalan team, and now with Xavi seems that it will follow of the same way to the not having a direct competition in the role of pivote, especially if the míster can follow using his system of four mediocampistas.

The egarense will follow betting in a lot of parties for populating the centre of the field and leave in the forward to two players, mayormente Lewandowski and Raphinha. In this sense, the role of Oriol is essential to give freedom to Frenkie of Jong and Gündogan in three chambers of field. The same sucederá with Pedri and the own Gavi, those who will be the attendants to do the work of 'false' extreme in a lot of moments of the course.
