The renewal of Sergi Roberto is a controversial decision

The renewal of Sergi Roberto is a controversial decision

he Barcelona It is in the middle of a reconstruction period, and the Board of Directors is making plans for the future in the short and medium term. In this layout there are many heroes and one of them is Sergi Roberto. With the youth team, which was recently renewed until 2024 with another optional year, there are mixed feelings. After the implementation of his new contract, doubts arise as to whether the decision was the best. Although he is prone to injury, his numbers favor him.

The incidence data are pessimistic. This season will add up, with the current injury, over two and a half months, which translates to more than fifteen games lost. But this season is no exception. The all-purpose blaugrana is prone to visiting the dispensary. The last three seasons he’s been injured for almost a year and two months, over 90 games without being available. Since his inception, he has always been a player close to muscle injuries, but not for long. However, the model has changed in the last three seasons and is becoming less and less time.

As for the numbers, the numbers back it up. Compared to the rest of his midfield counterparts, the young player is the one who needs the fewest minutes to go with a contribution of 0’4 goals per match. Almost every third game he plays offers critical actions. The second most contributing midfielder in front of goal in Xavi’s squad is Casey (0’3). The podium is completed by Pedri (close to 0’3), although the Canaries have far more minutes than Sergi Roberto. Additionally, with four goals and three assists, he is the midfielder with the second-best records, behind only Jaffe, who is ahead of him with two goals and six assists.

With the Blaugrana there is this division. Performance or injuries? Although the contract is fresh out of the oven, it contains the famous +1 option, that is, a year, plus another optional option. However, to activate this clause, the young player must play 60% of the games, which seems complicated by his physical offense.
