Ansu and Riqui will play the playoff with Barça B

Barça have already decided that Ansu Fati and Riqui Puig play the promotion playoff to the Second Division with the subsidiary even knowing the risk he runs with the two players and with those of the first team that he will expose, due to the tightness of the squad, in the last two days of the League. Xavier Vilajoana, responsible for training football, the women's section and Barça B, confirmed in the Tot Costa de Catalunya Ràdio program that the idea of ​​Barça is that “the idea of ​​these young players (by Ansu and Riqui) is that they be horse (between the first team and the subsidiary). If they don't have minutes, let them be in the branch. In principle, the intention is that they continue competing. If they have to do it at Barça B, let them do it. Ansu has already come down to play this weekend with the subsidiary … (this weekend against Europe). The decision has a very high risk, because Barça have no midfielders available for the match against Napoli (Vidal and Busquets are penalized; De Jong is out of injury; and Arthur is headed by Juventus) and neither forwards (Dembélé is injured, Braithwaite is not enrolled and Griezmann is recovering from injury).

Vilajoana, who avoided the most difficult issues in Catalunya Ràdio and did not make clear the hierarchies between Kluivert (director of training football) and himself, has also become a spontaneous analyst on the social networks of the first team matches. According to him, “for me, in many aspects, Setién has improved the game of Barça de Valverde.”
