Christensen’s challenge

Christensen be one of the reinforcements next summer and the player of the Chelsea has a more than complicated challenge ahead. In the last 10 courses, the Barcelona he can’t find any center-back on the market that can provide him with the leap in quality he’s looking for. In fact, in this time, footballers trained or with a past in football have given better results. the farmhouse than those who have come from abroad and, many times, at the stroke of a checkbook.

The list in these last ten seasons, from 12-13, is long and, for now, they have been a success Araujowho rose from the subsidiary, and eric garcathat despite proceeding City he had been trained in cul base football. Therefore, of all the reinforcements, those who know the house work.

Vermaelen, Mathieu, Umtiti, Lenglet, Todibo, Murillo, Yerry Mina and Eric they have arrived at Camp Nou. To them must be added that Marc Bartra, Mingueza and Araujo They got the first team number. And all those who came from outside had a rather ephemeral step or with little success. His statistics were or are very discreet.

Seven reinforcements without past cul

In 12-13, I went up to the first team Mark Bartra. The Catalan had minutes. The next course, Barcelona did not sign anyone for the rear axle. Vermaelen, who arrived in 2014-15, played 65 games in all competitions in four seasons. Without a doubt, very little presence, since I lived through an ordeal with injuries. That same course firm Mathieuan operation of almost 20 million and with little success.

In 15-16, no troops arrived for the axis, but in 16-17 firm Umtiti. The French, which cost 25 million, had prominence the first two years but then it has been diluted. Knee problems have marked his career to such an extent that he is ostracized. Right now even he is injured.

In the 17-18 firm yerry mina, an operation that would end up being a success at the level of offices but not football. In short, I served the club to make money. On the green, just 379 minutes.

Piqu, untouchable

In the 18-19 landed lenglet to increase competition in the axis, hitherto occupied by Umtiti and Pique. The French started his stage as a Barça player very strong, but some key mistakes were relegating him to a discreet background. In 2019-20, the Barcelona he did not sign anyone and in 2020-21, he gave the first team number to Araujo. One of the great successes. Last summer, I arrived Eric and Mingueza was consolidated in Camp Nou.

Lenglet left the Camp Nou in tears for his mistake against Cádiz

If something has not changed in the last 10 years, it is the presence of pique on the rear axle. His companions have been changing, Umtiti, Lenglet, Araujo, Eric… but the Catalan remains in eleven. Now Christensen fight to be the first center back outside that is consolidated without fissures or doubts in the last ten years. The challenge is served.
