2 - Pau Cubarsí

[Sorin]

His passes between the lines are just out of this world. Helps us massively in the build up, we can bypass almost any press when he has the ball.

Not to mention is he solid as a defender while being 17yo, ridiculous.

Facts is passing in between the lines is next level, he's the first name on the team sheet at the back

 

[FCBfan22]

Amazing. And played both CB positions today. Great in both.

 

[Nello]

Unsung hero this lad

Pep is considering returning as Barca manager just to play this kid.

That's how much Pau is itching his centreback fetish.

Lol you might be right.

He is pep's wet dream

 

[Barcaman]

To be able to play at this level at 17. Man..

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Yamal takes the bright lights(media focus)but this kid is same level as a CB. Absolutely insane!

Two world class players at seventeen. Haha

He needs that LCB spot. He is an offensive threat on the left side of the pitch.

No, no. A right-footed passing defender is much more comfortable on the right and a left-footed defender on the left.(against pressing teams especially).

Cubarsi is an exception; he is clearly better on the left. He can open his body up and make those quarterback passes over the top behind the defenders, whereas on the right he cannot use the inside of his foot to find attacking runs through the center of the pitch as easily.

 

[Nello]

Crazy to think how some was unhappy Cubarsí was promoted by Xavi, even a few saying it was Catalan bias and that Faye and Mbacke were better prospects.


Xavi saw what we all know now, that this kid has the potential to be the world's best ball playing CB.

 

[jamrock]

No one was unhappy, some thought he wasn't physically ready compared to others, but saw he was clearly super talented.

hmmm remember it as people were saying others should have been ahead of him. Nonetheless I'm happy Xavi introduced this kid to the first team.
