Record Tello at Barcelona's first team: 6 goals and 1 assist in 397 minutes #fcblive 10 games, 2 starts [via @barcastatistics]
astonishing stats
He fits perfectly into this team, there is no way Pep can leave him off the team list ever again.
Not all players get the opportunity to fully develop their skills at the appropriate level. Examples: Messi, Iniesta, Busquets, Pedro. Because they became able to improve the first team, he club was forced to promote them too young, when they still had a lot to learn. Even though it might have been better for their development to play 90 minutes every week for Barca B.
For the rest of this season, Tello can start a couple of games a month, come in as a substitute in most of the other games. That will be enough playing time to permit him to continue to develop. After May 25, he can get his last few starts for Barca B, then play at the Olympics. Get formally promoted for next season. Of course, Messi and Alexis are keepers, but some of the other first team forwards must leave this summer to open up playing time.
