Nico and Riqui Puig: Same situation, different decision

Nico Gonzalez will become a new player Valencia CF for the next season. He will arrive at Mestalla on loan to be an important piece for Gennaro Gattuso’s team, who contacted him and offered him to be an important piece in the team. A decision that shows maturity on the part of the footballer and that comes hand in hand with the continuity of Miralem Pjanic for next season.

Xavi Hernandez made the decision to bet on the Bosnian to be a substitute for Sergio Busquets, which was going to take minutes away from the youth squad in the FC Barcelona. The footballer, taking into account the situation, made the decision to leave on loan to have continuity in another team. “I need and want to play a lot of minutes to grow as a footballer,” he said at his farewell on social media.

Nico González made the best decision to continue evolving as footballers, taking into account that he agreed with the Italian coach that it will have continuity and it will be important. A choice that shows that his main objective is to grow as a player, which he did not do Riqui Puigwho today is in the Los Angeles Galaxy and it seems that he will never return to the Camp Nou.

The difference between Nico and Riqui Puig is that one wanted to grow as a player even if it meant leaving his comfort zone, while the other preferred to stay at home despite not having minutes and stagnating on an individual level. One cares about succeeding in football and the other only cares about staying to live in Barcelona. Today, despite being young, the career of both seems to have different paths.
