JOHN MENZIES FROM FOOTBALL ESPANA
Speaking ahead of tomorrow’s match against Atletico Madrid, Xavi discussed his options for the forward line, and pinpointed where they can benefit the team, as per MD.
“Ferran is more mobile and can generate a lot of space for his teammates. His work without the ball is very good. People don’t value it, but it helps us in defence.
“Ansu is different, as he is more positional. Both are capable of playing as a number nine. There is also the option of Memphis who can play there too.”
Fati was the man that had been reported to replace Lewandowski, before the Pole’s ban was suspended and allowed him to play last weekend. It remains to be seen whether Fati remains as first choice, or if Torres or Depay plays instead.
