Barca News
Xavi Hernández has sentenced two Barça players, who will not play again for the remainder of the season, as they may even leave in January. And if they end up staying in the dressing room, they already know that it will be very difficult to get minutes, if not practically impossible, unless it is in insignificant clashes, or there is a plague of injuries. The first name to appear on this blacklist is that of Oriol Romeu.
This cannot be considered as surprising news, seeing the poor level he has shown in his last appearances on the pitch. Signed this summer from Girona, the expectations he generated were very low, but still he has not been able to fulfill them.
He has made serious mistakes, and has shown that he does not have the necessary level to play in the Camp Nou. For this reason, Joan Laporta is looking for a new defensive pivot.
The mission to forget Sergio Busquets was really complicated, and the ’18’ couldn’t get it at all. At 31 years old, he is sentenced, and he already knows that his role in the coming months will be residual. But he is not the only one, since Marcos Alonso is also in an identical situation.
He has practically not played, and when he has, not he has been able to put an end to the doubts that existed around his figure, and he is also injured for a long time.
The previous season had a bit of continuity, especially playing in the axis of the rear guard, but in this one it has disappeared from Xavi’s plans. Not even the departure of Jordi Alba to Inter Miami has helped the Spanish international to have more presence in the systems, and he is not a reliable alternative to Alejandro Balde. In fact, Joao Cancelo was chosen by the Barça manager when he chose to leave the ‘3’ as a substitute.
The ex-Chelsea, Fiorentina, Sunderland, Bolton Wanderers and Real Madrid player, who will be out for about two months, ends his contract in June, and unlike the previous year, Deco will not offer you the renewal.
