FC Barcelona B (Barça Atlètic)

Side side note

I use to think that while Virgili clearly is talented he doesn't have the speed or strength to make it in Senior football.

As a winger you need an X factor.

But the way he's adapted instantly to playing with the B team when givn the chance, I've had to reconsider.

Which is why i think he's one of the 4 more likely to he promoted.

Truthfully i think they all should be about 2-3 years before getting minutes like khaled said, but we aren't living in that time.

A youth coach in the sport article about guille said that as well, fans or the players themselves can't expect everything to be a gavi, cubarsi, yamal situation.

Toni has the best chances. But all of these guys best shot will be at AMC while also giving relief to Lamine when needed (which doesn't seem like will be alot as he is already getting the Messi treatment of in-game rest.

He looks like he can adapt to attacking mid.

I'm not counting Diarra yet until I see him pre-season, but he seems one of those players who will look much better and slot easily into pro ball.

We basically got a whole batch of Dani Olmo's coming through with Dani Rodriguez, Toni and Juan. Then there is Guille who is a bit different but also a central attacking player. And add to that Darvich, and Quim who is more rounded of the lot but also better at 10 than 6 or 8.

So alot of nice headaches. And alot who will move elsewhere for chances. Starting with Dani Rodriguez this summer.

And here we are. All that wall of text and I missed Virgili. Which shows just how many same-ish talents we got in the 16-20 space right now.

He IS undersized. But then again, it's different making combinations with Lamine, Pedri and Raphi than with Guille, Cedric and Pedro Soma. Will have to see how he does pre-season as potential is there.

Last summer we saw Unai in the first team and we could all see that while he was the top talent at the B, at the A he looked miles off the level.

Virgili looks to me that he lacks decision making and runs at defence too often with head down.

Don't think he physically has it to be dangerous enough doing that.

Guille himself has had games where lacks awareness and for all his physical attributes hasn't deserved first team minutes yet.

Yamal, Bernal and Cubarsi stood out a mile for their decision making at a young age.

Our defending is so comical that this is an entertaining game.

Toni is in at 10 btw with Virgili on the right.

B up 1-0 so far.

Nice finish by Garrido. Still the player I'd most like to see for the first team. Hopefully he can keep clear of injuries.

Important win but still 7 points away from safety with 6 games left. Waited too long with a coaching change but hope dies last.

Next three games are against direct relegation opponents - Real Union A (16th), Amorebieta H (20th), Lugo A (15th). Need at least 7 points and some other results go in our favor as well. Then we play vs two teams who ares still in promotion playoff hunt - Andorra H (5th) and Barakaldo A (7th) and finish the season at home against another relegation candidate Unionistas de Salamanca (14th).
