As: Barca will have to play Cazia partner Inigo for just 137 minutes this season [jiayu]


Live on March 25, "AS" reported that Inigo and Garcia, the central defensive pair have only played together for 137 minutes this season, and they may start together in the next game against Osasuna.

Kubasi was injured and Araujo was unable to return until 24 hours before the match, which forced Frick to use Inigo and Garcia in the central defence combination for the next game against Osasuna.

The two have played together in central defence for only 137 minutes this season, the first being against Valencia in La Liga, when Garcia came on as a second-half substitute for Bernard, Christensen for Kubasi, Frick sent Garcia to the back and Christensen to the back, and Inigo played 19 minutes with Garcia.

The second was against Leganes in the league, the only time this season the two started together in central defence, and the result was poor, Barcelona lost 1-0 that game, throwing away the lead. The pair played together for 74 minutes before Frick replaced Garcia with Kubasi.

The last time the two played together in central defence was against Valencia in the Copa del Rey, where Garcia started alongside Kubasi before he was replaced by Inigo, who played 44 minutes together.

In the 137 minutes that Garcia and Inigo played together in these three games, Barca conceded two goals.

If you count other positions, Garcia and Inigo have played together in 19 games this season, but Garcia has mostly played in midfield.

At present, Casado is injured, Frick next is expected to let Garcia as the back, but this game is not for the time being, because Barcelona is now really short of central defenders.
