[FC433]

Alejandro Balde, starter in Bar?a B's first game. They speak highly of him in the training. A player with great future.

Played his first game for Barca B tonight!

We'll probably still bring another LB but with Akieme leaving and Ndiaye injured for 6 weeks he might actually start the season as a starter for Barca B. I've also heard good things about Mika Marmol though so we'll see how he'll do.

Just looked it up and he played the first half with Miranda coming on in the second. Miranda grabbed an assist going by the Barca B twitter.

Miranda gave two assists actually.

@Messi983
do not think so. Too good for the third division.

Nice. Didn't realise. He has a nice centre from the wing. His standout attribute.

about six weeks: https://twitter.com/FCBarcelonaB/status/1316298460090585090?s=20

 

[Messi983]

I've feared he'd be out for around 3 months so that's a good news. Still a shame as he'd have a chance to fully establish himself as a starting LB this season but I believe he'll come back even stronger.

I've also heard good things about Mika Marmol but never watched him closely so now it will be a good chance for him to show what he can do.

How was the game?

Didn't watch a full game but from what I've seen average 1st half and a bit better 2nd when we also created some chances but couldn't score.

 

[Messi983]

Sport says the club has decided to promote Balde to the first team if Firpo will leave in January. Doesn't make much sense to me. Alba almost always plays and when he's unavailable Koeman will probably just play Dest as a LB. Better let Balde play regularly for Barca B and only call him up if he'll be given a chance in Copa or another easier game.
