Xavi Hernández will make changes to the starting lineup for the match against Villarreal. He wants a reaction after the recent fiascos, in “El Clasico” and the Champions League. The coach of Barcelona has decided to rotate and the footballer who will benefit the most will be Ansu Fati.
The Barça striker, who has played in three positions in attack this season, has already put the injury behind him. Xavi has gradually integrated him into the formation. He has participated in the 13 games played, 9 in La Liga and 4 in the Champions League, but he has only played 390 minutes. He has started in only two matches, against Viktoria Plzen and Mallorca. Despite his fragmented presence, he has scored two goals, against Real Sociedad and Cádiz, as well as providing three assists. Even in “El Cásico” last weekend, he played a decisive role in Ferran Torres’ goal.
His performance at the Santiago Bernabéu, confidence and the need for change have convinced Xavi to reserve a starting shirt for Villarreal.
