Kounde Conveys a Clear Message to Xavi Regarding His Position in the Barca XI

“I hope my position [centre-back] continues to be the same as it is now,” Jules Kounde has told Esport3.

“But the most important thing is always the team. I’m always open to the coach’s requests,” the Frenchman noted.

Jules is clearly happy to play at centre-back on a permanent basis this season. This was reportedly the player’s desire throughout last campaign as well.

Joao Cancelo is going to be Barca’s starting right-back from now on. Ronald Araujo, who would form a centre-back pairing with Kounde, would cover for the Portuguese if needed.

Kounde has been one of the best Barca players since the season began.
