'He's a genius' - Cules enthusiastic about one tactical decision Xavi might make

According to Javi Miguel of Diario AS, following the injuries of the two Barcelona key defenders, it is not ruled out that Xavi could place Frenkie De Jong as a centre-back.

It didn't take long for Cules to react.

RealYikky: "And they called Xavi a mad man when he played him there in preseason".

Mysteryap: [replying to RealYikky]: "He's actually a genius'.

MasihMessi: "Fdj is better than all...He could be our best ball playing cb in the available players".

Legendkiller189: "De Jong libero season".

Mphago_sidwell: "FDJ in back 3 and we're cooking'.

TheCulerLad: "De Jong at CB is a different gravy. Streets won't forget his masterclass".

As you might remember, the gaffer already tried the Dutchman in defence, and so did former Barca coach Ronald Koeman. Yet, there are three centre-backs Xavi could use to replace the injured ones - including Eric Garcia, Andreas Christensen and Gerard Pique, leaving Frenkie in his regular position.
