Due to the amount of injuries , Xavi decided to switch things up and play Christensen as a pivot. He faired pretty well and in this video we analize his game in that position.

First
most of us felt that this was a good idea and turned out well for barca.. but the clown commentators speaking in english for India region were so negative about everything barca did, they were even saying cubarsi was bad..๐๐๐ i am really fed up and cannot tolerate these madrid loving clowns everywhere, even in commentating roles…its beyond annoying now..
Been waiting for this
Nah Andres Christensen wasn't as comfortable as a pivot like Eric Garcia, he had more touches on the ball last season than Christensen, unfortunately the defensive position is where he should be at, yeah he did well as a DMF but I prefer Garcia over Christensen
He was good.
He positioned well and at some moments he knew where to pass before the reception, so the ball just hit his foot and go another direction. That's the quickness we need from there six!
He has the potential, but Id still would like Barca to buy a CDM.
We played a very positional game. Cancelo played almost as a traditional left winger (with little to no defensive responsibility) and Christiansen as a traditional destroyer ( with little to no creative responsibility)
Disagreed. He struggled with any slightest pressure. He could hardly turn for the most part, and only really pass to the safest option. Eric Garcia was so much more 'natural' than him in the position.
Andrea was very aggressive in duels which was important
Didnโt expect that from him
Everything else we know he can do
Better than romeu for sure
For the first time in a couple matches, our midfield looked a bit solid because of this one move. Whenever we lost the ball high we had someone in midfield who could disrupt counters. Our midfield wasnt overran like most of the times we see. My only other issue that i think xavi needs to work on for the remainder of his time is defending wide to stop attacks from wide areas. We defend so narrow which leaves alot of space for our opponents to exploit. So i think he needs to work on our defensive shape off the ball otherwise it was a decent match from the midfield and i hope he continues with this system.
Who knew it was Christensen all along? Wow ๐ฎSometimes the best gems are the ones in your own backyard.
Romeu is too slow one of the biggest thing that help is his recovery speed and cover alot a grown as well
Xavi found option for defensive problems but yet he need to find something for attacking problems,because we dont have more than 3 chances per match,even Alaves have more chances than us.
If he is the new Busquets then we have got our missing linkโฆ๐๐ฝ
He needs to improve a lot on and off the ball. It was a ok performance.
I think Cubarsi can also play this role. He is has the calmness on the ball.
