Xavi could not contain his emotion when he was asked about Pau Cubarsí after the win against Getafe. “It improves the pass that the coach imagines as the best option”, he highlighted. Everyone was amazed by Cubarsí’s performance against Getafe, Barça’s first pass, the most clairvoyant defender in the squad at only 17 years old. “Franz Beckenbauer Cubarsí”Cancelo wrote on his Instagram account. “Leave me a pass”Araujo threw him, between the comments. No one better than the footballers themselves to recognize a talent or a chosen one like Pau.
Impact on the right-handed profile
This time Xavi gave him the right-handed profile, becoming the defender who played more focused on the ball release phaseand the youth player boosted the team’s play. Cubarsí has the challenge of overcoming the stigma of the center backs trained at La Masia. Center backs who during training football, due to Barça’s style and superiority in the youth teams, are more accustomed to defending with the ball than to winning individual duels.
Players like Bartra, or more recently Eric Garcia, have been accompanied by this label. This does not seem to be the case with Cubarsí, who despite being far from being in his prime, He is a central defender who feels comfortable when he goes to the crash. A “defense-defense” as the technicians who have had it at La Masia have pointed out.
Against Getafe, he also once again left details of a leadership that goes beyond the ball. Cubarsí was the first to encourage Raphinha after missing two clear chances. At Barça they are amazed by the ‘Kaiser’ Cubarsí: marshal on the field and in the locker room.
