Exponential growth: Mingueza, from being 'weak' for Barça B to the elite

The exert of the more youngsters has kept to the FC Barcelona 'to float' in the beginning of the season. The talent, more win them to win an important place inside a full changing room of stars, has ocasionado that the players '-21' are the engine of the picture culé in the last months. It is not casualidad that Ansu Fati (before his injury), Pedri González, Sergiño Dest, Ronald Araújo or Óscar Mingueza are standing out under the orders of Ronald Koeman and hardly surpass the majority of age.

One of the big changes of the Barça regarding the past season has been the average of age of the players. While in the past course stood out 'the club of the 33', now are the youngsters those who have jumped to give him joys to the barcelonismo.

In fact, it was the fourth option of the filial, by behind Cuenca, Chumi, Araújo and Bouquets Mingo, after it was fichado from the Mouth Juniors.

However, in the position of head office the physicist or the strength is not it everything and the intelligence, with the capacity to anticipate to the actions of the rivals have a lot of weight to be part of the axis of the defence of the FC Barcelona (and Gerard Hammered, for example is the proof of this) and are characteristic that the defender has.

Mingueza Has fulfilled in his debut

The way of Óscar Mingueza in the first team of the Barça hardly begins, but already has left the first signals that from The Farm still there is big talents. In his first weeks to disposal of Ronald Koeman, has showed his good technical quality, atrevimiento and big skill for the exit of the balloon.

His exert has not overlooked and, although it has had some punctual errors, has attained to snatch him the titularity to Clément Lenglet in the party in front of the Real Sociedad and play beside his mate of the filial, Ronald Araújo, this time in the first division.
