Doing rotations doesn't mean there is no pecking order for a position.
After signing Dani to be a starter, Xavi saw improvement from Dest, and left Dani out of the Europa League list, where the important games were happening.
After the Valencia away game, where Dest shone, he was clearly no1 in the pecking order.
Even in the league games that Dani was supposed to start, he was pulling him off around 75-80 min to play Dest.
Sadly he got injured at the Galata away game, when he was on top form
About Azpli, same arguments are used here that were used in Dec. '21 for Alves.
"he knows positional game, how to play the position, is experienced" blah blah blah
I bet that the trajectory will be exactly the same: Xavi will first trust Azpli to be no1 for the position, and soon he will see 'more improvement' from Dest that will force him to reconsider
Stop
Alves was left out of Europe cause only two of auba ferran and Alves could be registered
And we had to register auba and ferran cause of obvious reasons last season
