Inigo leaves the team, two left-footed central defenders in Barcelona may have a chance

Hupu, August 8th, According to the Daily Sports Daily, as Inigo travels to Saudi Arabia, the gate of the first team may be opened for tier teenagers Álvaro Cortés and Andrés Cuenca.

Inigo's departure solved the problem for Barcelona, but also left new problems. Faced with registration issues and the expectation of reducing the central defender, Inigo's departure relieved Barcelona's troubles, but the negative side is that the central defender was an important member of the team's success last season. He and Kubasi are Barcelona's starting central defender combination, and he is also the team's only left-footed central defender.

During his trip to Asia, Frick used Martin to play as a central defender, and the young man showed good performance, but his regular position was fullback, and his experience of playing as a central defender in Corneia was also in the three central defender system. As for other central defenders, Araujo, Eric Garcia, Kubasi and Christensen, their usual feet are all right feet.

In Barcelona Athletic, there are two left-footed central defenders: Alvaro Cortez and Andres Cuenca. Although the two have different styles, they can provide support in this position and can show tacit cooperation with teammates on the defense. In terms of the national team, both of them are also members of the Spanish national youth team. Many European teams are paying attention to them.

20-year-old Cotes is more physically strong, 1.89 meters tall, joined Barcelona at the age of 15. He has experienced a knee injury, but his recovery is good afterwards. He was an unquestionable starter in the echelon last season. The first team debut has not yet been completed, and Frick has called him in the league.

18-year-old Cuenca has an elegant style, good shooting ability, and has also played as a fullback. When Frick first took over the team, Cuenca was one of the young players he recruited to participate in the first team's training and then took him to the United States for a warm-up match, but he did not play in the end. Months later, Cuenca made a team debut in the Champions League match between Barcelona and Bern Young Man, when Cuenca, who was only 17 years old, replaced Inigo in the 84th minute of the game.

Cuenca was selected into the first team roster for a total of 8 times last season, and was later one of the heroes of Barcelona Youth A team winning the triple championship. Cuenca also scored 1 goal in the Youth Champions League final.
