Juvenil A won 4-1 vs. Man City U-19. It was an easy game, although not so easy as the score suggests. We played our usual style, although we couldn't keep posession as much as the 1st team. Grimaldo was very good, Samper too, and a guy I didn't know called Sandro Ramirez scored the first two goals. He was replacing Dongou that was suspended.
Miguel Angel came in as a sub and he played very well again and scored a wonder free-kick. He is so good taking free-kicks!
I also liked Babunski who played really well for the first time I've watched Juvenil A.
Barça B are through, they need now to win the following game to secure the first spot.

`Match Highlights:



===========================

Sandro Ramirez (09.07.1995, CF, Height: 172cm)


- Sandro Ramirez was playing for Cadet A last season, with Grimaldo & Samper..
he was the team's topscorer..
- Sandro already scored 7 goals in 3 matches for Spain U-17 [Record: J.Soriano 18 goals, Bojan 16 goals ]





La Masia

I see absolutely nothing special in Marc Bartra.

Cadet A (U-16): FCBarcelona 3 - 0 Espanyol.

Number: 7 --> Adama Traore

MOM: Adama Traore, a sensational game by the ‘Usain Bolt’ of La Masia, who tore Espanyol’s boys a new one in the Mini Derby. Scored a goal worthy of a ‘crack’ and assisted both the other goals. Special mention to Xavi Quintilla and Rodrigo Tarin for their splendid performances

What can you guys tell me about Montoya?

We have been linked to him to fill our RB spot.

A sloppy lazy full back. Amateur defender really!
"Exaggerating"

Class of 91'... in a parallel universe somewhere I'm also in this picture.

Barca Juvenils currently smashing Celtic FC Juniors (5-1) in the NextGen Series.

#NextGen Firs thing to say about #Barça 5-1 #Celtic is that Barça are utterly exceptional. Ruthless, talented, well trained, quick.

Which brings me to my conclusion of our young defenders like Bartra and Sergi Gomez: they are great on the ball, but god, they are so soft. Montoya and Muniesa are more complete, but I they are also lacking defensively. Perhaps it's only a matter of maturity, as defenders always develop later and they are as young as the attackers... Don't know.

This article has many fails.

So it is official Jonathan Dos Santos is signed till 2015.
-Don't see him here that long even as a converted right back.

Next on the list of resigning should be Muniesa.. I'll be truly sick if we let him slide.

Article(s) on Sergi Samper Barça Juvenil A player... now being dubbed the Pirlo of La Masia. Prospects that tender do not need all this. Folks should let them enjoy what they do IMO.

BTW: Go and google Sergi Samper, and count how many times Wenger's face shows up under images.

I have heard a lot about this kid.Heard that he is the most highly rated player in the system and our best midfielder to come out of the system since Iniesta.
Also that he has been earmarked as Xavi's heir.That got me piqued.
Can someone like kizz,khaled,free etc shed some light on Samper?How good is he?Is the hype justified or will he turn out another Gai Assulin?

Well, that's the hope, but you never know if these defenders will finally improve or not defensively.

I've watched several games from Samper with the Juvenil A. He has a super long and short pass and a great technique. He doesn't look at all like Xavi's heir, but he could be a new Busquets. He plays the DM role, he is tall, weak & slow, but intelligent, and as I said, a great passer. He is 16 and playing vs. 19 year old guys. He has already improved a lot in this half a season, as he wasn't really a starter at the begining, and in his first games he was good on the ball, but terrible defensively, and he has improved a lot his positioning and intercepting abilities in only few games. IMO, the hype is justified, but you never know at this age.

Thanks for the info man.
So he is not a Xavi heir.
More of a heir to Busquets which is good to know though.Now the important thing is to keep Wenger away.
Heard he was in for Samper and I am sure he will be again if the kid is as good as he is hyped up to be.
BTW who is the closest youngster to Xavi in the youth system?Just curious to know.
