The continuity of Ronald Koeman gives reasons to the young players to be optimistic on his opportunities of recalar in the first team of the FC Barcelona. The Dutch technician supported in players like Óscar Mingueza or Ilaix Moriba in the past campaign to pipe to the team. The coming course expects by others like Hill, Nico González or Balde, that will evaluate in each campaign. Definitely, they represent a litter that invites to the hope.
Artiga, in the Cadet with Ansu and Ilaix
"It has been a gift train all these players that mention and many more. Can see the sessions of training of Pep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova or Luis Enrique... What can ask more! I am súper grateful. But it arrives a moment that you have to decide your future. And I want to keep growing like trainer", has explained Artiga to MARK on his stage in Can Barça.
It is important to highlight that Franc loans to do a report of eight canteranos that knows perfectly, to the time that boasts of the work made in The Farm: "they Are going up players of different batches, there are them of the 99, 2000, 2001, 2002, etc... Yes it is true that the generation of the 2001 and 2002 has been ones of the ones of greater talent in the club. It is necessary to add to players like Eric Garcia, that finish to go back, or Take Kubo that also have a big future. The difference has been to have a trainer of the first team that put them. I suppose that the coyuntura of the Covid and the economic situation have helped, but at the end is showing that the work that has done in the last 10 years in the formative football has been spectacular. If no, it would be impossible that to these boys put them and surrendered as they are doing it".
Ansu Fati (2002)
"It is the player of the that more hopes there was in the formative football, by his quality and his personality. But always there are doubts of how would answer to measure that it went going up categories in front of the pressure of the competition. But the truth that was to debut in the Camp Nou and do exactly what came doing in the fields of the Sportive City Joan Gamper. Besides I had it just in the recovery of a grave injury that suffered in the category cadet. It is a professional, lives by the football and expect that it recover as it recovered of the grave injury suffered previously".
Óscar Mingueza (1999)
"Óscar is the opposite case, a formidable surprise, the only trainer of the formative football that ensured to have potential of first team has been García Pepper. It has showed that from the work, the discretion and the humility can arrive to play in the first team. For me it is surrendering better in the first team that in the formative football, even in the position of right side, that practically had not played never previously. Has a tranquility and pause that help him to compete of an exceptional way. It is an example for all the boys of the Farm, definitely".
Riqui Puig (1999)
"Riqui Is heritage of the DNA Barça, is a footballer done to play to our game, without any doubt. The situation that has lived the past season am safe that it will do him stronger. It does not have to to go down the arms and follow struggling by his dream. I am convinced that it will arrive his moment and will do a place in the first team".
Ilaix Moriba (2003)
"It is another player of the that anybody had doubts that it would arrive to the first team, especially by his personality and maturity. Ilaix Always answers in front of the situations of greater pressure and like this is it showing. Under this appearance of physical player hides his best virtue that is the perfect understanding of our game and a personality that in front of the pressure does him grow even more. Besides it has a spectacular physicist so necessary also in the current football".
Álex Hill (2002)
"I think that is the following called to go up to the first team and settle. It has matured the sufficient in the Barça B and the season that comes will be definitely an important player in the first team. Player with an exquisite technician, understands perfectly our game, has goal, last pass and winning mentality".
Alejandro Balde (2003)
"Definitely that Balde is a player with an impressive quality. It is a side with some perfect characteristics for our juego, fast, powerful, well technically, excellent ofensivamente, but think that it is necessary to go calmly. It has to grow in the Barça B, mature overcoat defensivamente and not having haste. No all can go up fast, can be contraproducente precipitate promotions. I am safe that has potential first team, but to his owed time".
Nico González (2002)
"Nico has it everything to be a top professional player. It is well technically, a privileged physicist, ambitious and the most important, very intelligent. And besides, it runs blood futbolística by his veins. More than a discussion has cost me with him and Fran (his father) on his position in the field, always have thought that is a spectacular pivote and that it was and is his perfect position. it is showing It In the filial with a fantastic performance and if it is true that also surrenders in the position of interior, is a 6 of ours".
Pablo Martín 'Gavi' (2004)
"It is a very young player, the past year played in the cadet and does not be necessary to have haste. It has to surpass stages to his rhythm, but is clear that it is a special player. It is an interior with a speed of execution and mental speed very big. It is a competitive animal but therefore same does not be necessary to run, does not be necessary to frustrate him, it is necessary to have patience, that play a lot and keep growing as it is doing it. I am convinced that in two or three years is calling the door of the first team".
