Riqui Puig should leave Barca?

Barcelona team has been revived since the beginning of the year with all of their players returning from injuries. Players such as Pedri Gonzalez, Memphis Depay, and others are fully fit to compete for the Blaugrana. As a result of this factor, Barcelona’s midfield has a plethora of choices. This might pose major problems for Riqui Puig.

Nico Gonzalez, Sergio Busquet, Frankie De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, and Riqui Puig. They all will compete for a spot in the midfield trio.

Riqui Puig was left out of the starting XI in the last Classico. Moreover, his absence from the bench indicates that Xavi Hernadez does not count on him. The 22-year-old has made six appearances for the Catalan giant this season, contributing zero goals.

Several European clubs approached the La Masia graduate during the previous season, including As Roma, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Celta Vigo, and AC Milan. But he turned them all down. He aspired to be a starter and flourish in Barcelona.

The Spaniard’s market value has dropped from €25 million to €9 million in the last two years, according to Transfermarket.com.

Still no change under Xavi, Given Xavi’s similar background as a player at the club to Riqui Puig’s, it was expected that things would improve with him in charge. The arrival of the new coach, on the other hand, has had little effect, since the midfielder has only played 262 minutes since his hiring, which is not impressive.

Xavi sends a message to Riqui Puig during the game against Granada. Barcelona chose Alvaro Sanz over Puig as a substitute, indicating that the Blaugrana coach does not have faith in this player. However, none of his first-team coaches, including interim Sergi Barjuan, have expressed confidence in him. Sergi, Ernesto Valverde, Quique Setién, Ronald Koeman, and now Xavi Hernández spring to mind. Nobody has seen enough of Riqui to desire him to play a larger role.

Riqui Puig is getting older, but he can’t seem to gain regular playing time at Barcelona. This season’s breakouts by Gavi and Nico Gonzalez haven’t helped matters, while Pedri has returned from injury and put in a world-class performance against Real Madrid in their most recent match.

According to various sources, Getafe, Arsenal, and Juventus have all expressed interest in the Spaniard, whose contract with the Blaugrana expires in June 2023.

Riqui Puig has until the conclusion of the winter transfer window to make a decision; otherwise, he would be a second-choice midfielder for another season at Barcelona.

Greatest player of all time(G.O.A.T) , none other than Lionel Andres Messi . A prolific goal scorer and a creative playmaker who is outstanding,out of this world in every sense of footballing term he is a pure genius.

Why did Luis Suarez join Atlético Madrid?

Luis Suarez joining Athleti makes a lot of sense as he has established himself as a legend at Barcelona , and after spending many years in spain, his family is settled there and kids don't even want to go elsewhere ,so playing for athletico will terminate the chances to settle elsewhere and won't have to face problems to adapt elsewhere . But one of the major factor i see is that his friendship with messi, they are neighbours and he might not want to separate himself from Messi can be a major factor . Coming in to Simeone side ,due to less players at his position at Athleti will certainly be good for him as he will have more playing time considering that Morata will be out on loan at Juventus. Simeone is a great admirer of him, will certainly help him play his final years with joy. As a Barca fan i would've liked if he was given a great farewell ,but due to covid it's impossible. Good bye Legend 💯♥️

What is false nine in football ?

False 9 A false 9 is a player who plays between the midfield and the defense lines. The most prominent example is Pep’s Barca squad utilizing Messi as a false 9. In modern-day football, more and more teams are shifting to a false 9 striker rather than a true 9 with a 10 playing behind. It is like a combination of a 9 and a 10. Also, with the introduction of inverted winger who cut in rather than be in the ‘wings’, it seems more like a favorable option. It is always used in a 4–3–3 formation in football. Qualities It is one of THE HARDEST ROLE to play in a team. This player has to pack a bunch of skillsets. The most important skills are- really good dribbling, good vision and passing and, the most important, awareness and creativity. Other skills include flair, speed, and a hella lot stamina. Quite a lot of qualities to ask for, resulting in a lesser number of these players. Advantages and Disadvantages It is a tricky position to play. The most advantage of playing a false 9 is the mar...
