With the 9… Xavi Simons. Those who closely followed the Dutchman’s developments as a midfielder at La Masأa when he was a Barça player are surprised by the change of role he has assumed in his promising career, now that he is on the verge of the PSG first team. . For many he was the natural replacement for Xavi and Iniesta at Barça, but the decision to go to Paris has also brought about a transformation in his game. and in his position on the field.
Since he landed at PSG two years ago, he became much more advanced in drawing. He was already a hit in his first seasons in the youth team (he was a rival of Madrid in the Youth League two seasons ago in that area) and he has definitely established himself as a forward. It could be seen in the match against City in the current edition of the youth Champions League. He played as a reference and also scored and caused a penalty.
Simons, still 18 years old, already debuted with Pochettino in Strasbourg in a match last season. He has gained body and strength, although he is still a short footballer to act as a pure center forward. However, with his mobility and the talent he possesses, he is capable of doing a lot of damage to rivals. PSG has a lot of faith in him in a position in which no one thought to see him. Not at least in La Masأa, where it left being a true gem.
