Who are the three players who will benefit from Xavi's appointment at Barcelona?

It is always a norm for a coach to utilise a player and for another not to due to difference in tactics, only a few players are indispensable in whatever system a coach is playing. Some players who were not in Ronald Koeman's plan but have been spoken about well by Xavi could come into his plans.

Riqui Puig is the first player who was out of favour under Ronald Koeman and Sergi Bajuan that will benefit from Xavi's appointment. The 22year old La Masia graduate is admired by Xavi who sees him as a hybrid of himself and his midfield partner Andres Iniesta.

Xavi is expected to build a team with La Masia graduate as the core with Ansu Fati very important to whatever plans he would have, the youngster's rise was disrupted by a 323 days injury but has come back and is already scoring goals again.

Another La Masia who is expected to have a key role to play in Xavi's new look Barcelona is defender Eric Garcia. The defender joined Barcelona at the end of the season after spending years away at Manchester City.
