Calendar of FC Barcelona

The market of signings of the summer 2020 is marked by the doubts in a FC Barcelona that little by little tries to find certainties. After the crisis of the coronavirus, in the City Condal have centred in the fight by the titles and in a planning that does not go to be simple, and that according to some directors of the club, has to begin to look downwards. Xavier Vilajoana, attendant of the Barça B, the juvenile teams the Formative Football and the Feminine has explained it in an interview for the official means of the entity.

The Catalan has attended to the training of the filial, that already prepares the playoff of promotion to Second Division To. Although the Spanish Federation gave by finished the campaign in Second B, the Barcelona saw benefited that it kept the format of eliminatory. "I value very positively that they are here, they won the right to play it remaining second and now have to try struggle to achieve this promotion. Once you are has to try go up, but it is necessary to say that it was not the main aim of this season", has revealed.

"But once you are here, it is necessary to try take advantage of it. To sportive level is very important. Especially, by them. The motivation to play in Second To is not the same that in the Second B. To formative level, there is not so much difference. Have players with sufficient quality to play in Second To. For us it is a prize by the work done, but is not an obsession. The main aim is to prepare players for when the first team need them. Be in Second To is a plus only to level of competitiveness", has valued.

The Barcelonan has been questioned by the presence of the Juvenile in the preparation of the Barça B, that has some footballers also to the orders of Quiqe Setién: "One of the aims that have in The Masia in the formative football. That the elevator work. Have the very young teams and from this point of view, is a success have nine juvenile. This means that his training goes in increase, go improving and that they can struggle by a place in the terrain of game like any another player. For us an important milestone and expect that it follow like this".

"The Juvenile To began the year of a way and has gone of less to more. When there was the stop carried 11 consecutive victories. But no longer they are the victories in himself. Always I say that the victories arrive by the consequence of a very done work. A victory never is an aim, but a consequence. And in this sense, the Juvenile To had done a very positive progression. The players are better now that no when it began the season and east is the main aim of the formative football", has insisted.

The Masia will be key for the first team of the Barça

In this sense, Vilajoana has boasted of the follow-up that does from the club, and that will allow to organise better the course 2020-21. For this campaign does not foresee too many signings, but more promotions in the inferior categories: "We, at least on my part, have obsession for improving the players of house, do them grow here. The incorporations that can pose are punctual that can improve what have here, but for us is key to work with the people of the quarry. Personally and to level of Managerial Board believe a lot".

"The future of the first team of the Barça has to go out of the players of the Masia. We have to go on doing this work that think that is doing well and have to improve every year", has underlined, ensuring that it does not refer only to the organisation of the basic football, but all the effort that makes to level of technicians, footballers and directors is focused to the successes that attain in the Camp Nou, so much to short as on a long-term basis and as it has showed along the last decades.

The executive has showed his commitment with the model and has repeated that it is the key in the operation of the club, that prefers to invest in training and complement his staff with contractings to defend the strength of his quarry: it Is our fundamental pillar. We can not do another thing. Vertemos A lot of resources to the masculine formative football and feminine and our aim is that they arrive the maximum number of players and players to the respective first teams. We will follow working and struggling so that this was possible".

"It is not easy because it requires, apart from the talent of the players and players, a lot of work by part of the technicians. And in this sense, want to congratulate to all the bodies and technical offices of this house of the formative football, so much masculine like feminine, because this year they have done very good work. And the fruits of this good work will not take a lot in seeing them", has augurado with air tranquilizador.
