12 - Xavi Espart

[MonteCuler]

Balde and Kounde should be an example for Barca players forever.

You have one bad season, so you lose manager's trust. He gives minutes to a La Masia kid, and he turns out to be literally 10 times better than you. Now he is playing every minute and you rot on bench.

We pray he doesnt go the Gavi route.. starts overrperforming with respect to age/lack of experience then freezes the development

 

[Barcaman]

Even Flick is surprised

Cubarsí: "Espart? Yes, we're very happy with him because we've seen his short journey in the youth categories together, with Bernal and Lamine. That Barcelona gives opportunities to the next generations makes us very happy, and we hope they make the most of them. Now that he's part of the first team squad, I thank him for the work he's done all these years. He's a boy who can play as a full-back, as a midfielder, as a number six, and he performs perfectly in all those positions. I think his presence in the team is very important."

Feels like he is more focused, colder and with higher football IQ. Don’t know if he has enough speed for a fullback

Thoroughly impressed by this kid. The La Masia assembly line just keeps on churning.

Do you remember what Vinicius did to Kimmich when he faced him at right back in the Champions League ?

Because the same is coming for Espart whenever he faces a quick high level winger.

He's too slow, small and weak to play at full back. Eric just about survives there and he is bigger and stronger.

He has a future, but not at full back.

Punt Casado and blood him as Xavi from Wish.

Xavi HERNANDEZ Espart.

Vinicius at his best skins most fullbacks alive. Kimmich is still very good on RB for Bayern and most Bayern fans prefer him there than midfield

Balde is the 3rd LB or even worse, he has nothing to do here anymore. Too bad he's too stupid to get it and leave.

 

[Barcelonista10]

He knows the glam vita bella will be over if he leaves.

 

[FCBarça]

It's remarkable but I think he has to play, that's the impact he has had already - whether its LB/RB or whatever, he needs to be on the pitch

 

[Naija_Crisp]

This boy is growing into the game real fast

 

[Barcelonista10]

He's amazing. He's literally everywhere

 

[Andresito]

He is doing what we signed Cancelo to do. He compensates his lack of speed with higher IQ

 

[Jamologist]

His moving and passing is really Xaviestic. As long as he plays like that, must be cemented in starting 11.

 

[Jaguar]

Guy is playing as if he a 28 year old world class LB, who tf does he think he is??? So arrogant

 

[Andresito]

On the ball he is flawless. Question is what happens when he faces a quick winger

 

[El Ilusionista]

Flick didn’t lie when he said he reminded him of Lahm. Very high IQ player.

Cracking player, probably the best to come through after Lamine and Cuba

He seems really quick to me. We'll see.

 

[almalky]

He is as good as our Maldini at CB
He might be a good CM
But he is Not a Lb and actually Maldini is better LB than him
