Reserved, this Barcelona midfielder is a satirical Ernesto Valverde

Barcelona midfielder Carles Alena began to question Ernesto Valverde's decision, which rarely gave him the chance to play. He thinks his ability is enough to enter the first team.

Alena was chosen for Barcelona's first match against Athletic Bilbao in the 2019/20 League. It was deleted on a part-time basis and hasn't been played since then.

That is, in the next two matches, Alena could only watch the team struggling from the bench. He certainly felt the contrast between the decision of Valverde, who believed in the opening match but soon changed the decision so far.

For Alena, Valverde's decision is still uncertain. He said he was not ignored, just like other players. Even so, Alena also respects the coach's decision.
"There is no explanation for me who remained reserved after the match against Bilbao. There are no players who like to be ignored in the team," Alena told RAC1 via Marca.

"That is the coach's decision, of course it affects the players."
At present, Barcelona has seven midfielders - including Alena - who have similar abilities. Unfortunately, there are only three places in the first team, the competition in the middle will be interesting.

"I think every player has the chance to fight for a place in the starting lineup, and I am sure all the players in the team will be used," Alena said.
"I am 100% sure I can reverse this situation, I am determined to succeed in Barcelona,"
