FC Barcelona, with Jules Koundé's injury, will be forced to turn to La Masia to cover the absence of a defender in the squad. Given this, the main candidate to occupy the position of fourth Barça defender is Pau Cubarsí, who is already one of the regulars at Barça Atlètic
If there is something that has characterised to the FC Barcelona is his bet by the players of The Masia, without mattering his age. In this sense, already witnessed the debut of Lamine Yamal, the one who has turned into one of the usual players in the right extreme of the combined Barcelona, in spite of having only 16 years.
In this same season, because of the current context, could be next another debut of a stood out juvenile player. It treats of Pau Cubarsí, a defender of 16 years that has been usual part of the diagram of the Barça Atlètic under the direction of Rafa Márquez. Even, it has been considered by Xavi Hernández in the dynamics of the first team, forming part of the list of available players for the Champions League for the Catalan cast.
Pau Cubarsí, To the doors of his debut with the Barça?
It is possible that the debut of the native of Estanyol in the first team of the Barça arouse prompt. The injury of Jules Koundé has left to the FC Barcelona with alone three natural defenders available: Ronald Araújo, Andreas Christensen and Iñigo Martínez. These active will return worn out after contesting two meetings with his selections during the Date FIFA.
The debut of Cubarsí in the Barça Atlètic, to the equal that could occur in the first team, produced because of the need to have defenders because of the fault of available players. In the filial of Rafa Márquez, lost to Pelayo Fernández by injury and still can not have Mbacke because of documentary problems.
Cubarsí, quality and technician to the service of the Barça
The trainers describe to the Catalan like a sober and intelligent defender, with a big sense of the positioning in the terrain of game. Equally, it possesses a big capacity of pass so much in short as in long distance, what allows him break lines of pressure. Also it is strong in the one against one and stands out in the aerial game thanks to his portentosa height of 1.82 metres.
The only problem for Pau Cubarsí and the FC Barcelona in general is that the defender is a key piece in the Spanish selection Sub-17, that will contest the World-wide of the category in Indonesia of 10 November to 2 December, added to the previous week of concentration. This period coincides over time in which Jules Koundé will be in process of recovery, what means that they would not have the one of Estanyol like fourth defender. Aunado To this, neither will be able to have he in the Barça Atlètic and in the Juvenile To, that will participate in the UEFA Youth League.
