A well-known name at FC Barcelona made some very strong revelations on Tuesday.
Renowned for the quality of its training, FC Barcelona does not always treat its nuggets in the best way. Especially in its recent era. The latest example concerns young midfielder Riqui Piug. This pure product of La Masia had been sidelined by the club before leaving for the Los Angeles Galaxy, where he signed a three-and-a-half-year contract in the summer of 2022.
Even today, Riqui Puig has very bitter memories of the current Blaugrana coach, as he told the press this week.
“It bothered me a lot”
“Xavi didn’t treat me well. He forbade me to train when I got back from vacation, dropped the 23-year-old midfielder. He is friends with my family, that’s why it bothered me a lot. I am not one of those who will create problems at the club, stay without playing and make bad faces in training and matches.
“I was killed by 4-5 Copa del Rey games, which are very difficult for young people,” continued Riqui Puig. We make you play against 2nd and 3rd division players, playing for the first time with certain teammates“, Lamented the former Blaugrana again.
