In the derbi against the Espanyol, was evident that also has asked to the midfield players that play more to the offensive. Xavi wants that the blaugranas step the rival area with more frequency.

The Barça followed the plan of Xavi in said meeting until it seemed to remain without energy. Ilias Played hit to the right band and Gavi began to attack from the left. But it surprised that to the three minutes Frenkie of Jong already was adentrándose to the area of the Espanyol. And that shortly after Nico González did the same.

Shots to distance
