Although he has carried all season with the signpost, posted by Ronald Koeman, Riqui Puig has been taking advantage of the vast majority of the opportunities that the Dutch coach has given him. This Wednesday, in the game against Granada, there was no exception, since the canterano culé entered from the substitute bench at minute 76 and left extremely pleasant sensations with your participation in the meeting.
Puig displayed one of his main qualities, such as being a great pin, as hit 97% of deliveries he made (67/70 correct passes). Regarding the distribution of them, the young midfielder was in charge of rotate the ball from side to side to find spaces in the Granada blocks, since the companions with whom he most associated were Jordi Alba and Sergiño Dest, to whom he gave the ball 17 and 13 opportunities, respectively.
Defensively, Puig was also participatory, since it specified a lock auction, four recoveries, an anticipation and an entrance. These statistics reflect how versatile the former Barcelona B player is, as he is capable of engaging in attack and generating danger, but also shows great defensive commitment.
Riqui Puig’s numbers this season
Despite having almost everything against, the mysticism of Riqui Puig when deciding to stay at Barcelona, despite the Ronald Koeman warnings About how little playing time he would have, it seems to be paying off. The canterano culé already has 12 games played, with a goal scored in the 307 minutes he has had on the field.
Similarly, Riqui Puig closed a consecrating month of January, since he managed to participate seven of the nine commitments that Barcelona had to face for the past 30 days. Although his quota of minutes is not so relevant, the fact that he is taken into account to enter from the bench or to be a starter, as he did against Cornellá, are clear signs of progress for a player who seemed to be doomed.
