Getafe-Barcelona (D/16.15 h.)
The Barcelona of Gavi, Ansu and Balde meets again in Getafe with Munir and Ale, once hopes of the youth academy. At the Camp Nou they are already evaluating the sale of Ansu Fati, still 20 years old, and they dream of Yamine Lamal, 15
Players, coaches and educators who have ever gone through La Masia, the precious training center that Barcelona turned into a brand, tend to agree on the same problem: the difficult emotional management of expectation, so often built by relatives who are not there. ready for a life change [ah queda el ejemplo de Bori Fati, padre de Ansu]agents looking to get the most out of children turned into market pieces, and the media eager to sell new stories.
On March 23, Bojan Krkic, 32 years old, said goodbye to football. He was the top scorer in the history of the lower categories of Barcelona (423 goals); with Frank Rijkaard in command super in precocity to Leo Messi scoring with Barça in the league at the age of 17 years and 51 days (a record that Ansu would later break); and he would have played the 2008 Euro Cup with which Spain began its golden cycle after being plagued by anxiety. Bojan played in eight teams and six more passes after he left the Camp Nou. The hardest part of my career was when I finally cut my ties with Bara and went to Stoke City. There was a sign that said: ‘Thank you for everything’. It was hard. Bojan, in his four years as a Barça player (2007-2011) scored the same goals (41) as in the subsequent 11 years (2011-2022) in the ranks of Roma, Milan, Ajax, the aforementioned Stoke City, the Mainz, Alavs, Montreal and Vissel Kobe.
When this Sunday the Barcelona of Gavi, Bucket and even when Ansu arrives at the Alfonso Pérez Coliseum to face Getafe, he will have the opportunity to take a look at that mirror that does not always return the expected image. TO Munir El Haddadi (El Escorial, 1995) and Carlos Ale (Matar, 1998) they were hung in their day the label of being hopes of La Masia. Now they are trying to reaffirm themselves in the south of Madrid with very different expectations and objectives.
Munir, whose fame skyrocketed after scoring a goal from midfield in the 2014 Youth League final, was given his debut Luis Enrique with the Bara in August of that same year. The striker also formed part of that first batch of homegrown players who were wound up by the Asturian Sandro Ramrez (now in Las Palmas de Segunda) and the midfielder Sergio Samper (in Japan and together with Iniesta in the same Vissel Kobe where Bojan said goodbye to football).
The debut with Spain
In the memory remains that hasty debut of Munir with the absolute Spanish team of Vicente del Bosque when the Federation feared that he would end up playing with Morocco (those 13 minutes against Macedonia were the only ones, for which the striker claimed to be international, this time, with the Moroccan team); comparisons with the madridista legend Ral González; his 25 goals in 113 games with Sevilla (12 goals in 56 games with Bara); or his determined attempt at redemption at Getafe. hand in hand Quique Sanchez Floresthe striker has established himself as a starter after chaining substitutions throughout the first round of the championship.
When Munir makes his debut in Barcelona’s first team in the League, even scoring a goal against Elche, Carlos Rexach write on the back cover of Sports world: I am sure that he will have a career. My advice is that, from the outside, say you don’t believe it, but inwardly you do believe it. It’s not arrogance, it’s the only way to succeed. And there, perhaps, is the key to everything.
ButAn exemplary boy since he arrived at La Masia at the age of seven, he got used to being the leader in the midfield of all his teams. The press reveled so much in her curly hair at the Maradona as in those countercultural characteristics for the interiors of La Masia that seemed to marry those of Luis Enrique, who also made it debut. Ale was too strong. Too upright. But also too patient. Until among the managers (they gave him his number 21 to Frankie Young) y ernesto valverde They made him understand that he would not be the one to lead Bara’s midfield. He meets Ale in his third season at Getafe. He has not started for seven games.
Barcelona has divided into 16 First Division teams (not so in Real Madrid, Atlético and Athletic) and 36 footballers who have passed through La Masia at some point in their training. Of all of them, only those assigned Go away (Osasuna) and Nico González (Valencia) have hopes of succeeding one day at the Camp Nou. And while the need to sell Ansu Fati, still 20 years old, is fueled in the offices, the future of another striker is already being dreamed of, Yamine Lamal, of 15. Both, in the hands of the agent jorge mendes. And may the wheel keep turning.
