Juvenil B

[jklz]

Both Kaptoum and Corredera show glimpses of quality but they often take wrong decisions or overestimate their abilities and lose the ball, not to mention that they're supposed to be the ones who control the game but they're not even close to doing it. Kaptoum was technically superb 3-4 years ago, but he doesn't seem to have added anything to his game, which is a shame.

As for Tarin I haven't seen enough of him, but IMO the defense did pretty well. Same goes for Fran, but he doesn't get to play much at all.

Thanks for the reply. I remember when Kaptoum played a while back, he was supposed to be this cross between Xavi and Zidane.. Guess he doesn't live up to those expectations (of course they are ridiculously high) so far.

Samper best midfielder in la masia by a country mile.

I haven't watched enough of him to be sure, but I feel like he's done by lack of intelligent movement (with and without the ball)/passing and associative play. Technically he's really good, but there's no connection in midfield.

 

[Tonykross]

Technically Kaptoum is very good,I would say he is the most fluid player in masia with the ball,but he is tactically naive and needs to improve more on his passing.he is still very young and has more time on his side to improve.

Next match in a few minutes against Dynamo Kiev. They're only streaming the Spartak matches though, I think. I suppose this is only a group stage tournament, so if Celtic somehow draws their current game (1-0 ahead now), the team can become champions of the tournament against Dynamo.

Edit: Considering Celtic just scored the 2-0, it will have to wait until tomorrow at least.

1-1 currently. Second half about to start. Theo Chendri scored, good for him.

Match finished 2-1, second goal by Buenacasa. A draw tomorrow will be enough to win the group.

I guess he is allowed to play because this is a friendly tournament? No idea. I think Lee Seung Woo recently also played a friendly match with his team.

Yep, they can all play friendlies.

Currently playing against River Plate in the World Cup u17 for clubs. 0-0 after 65 min.

 

[SamperFCB]

They lost after penalties (3-1). It was already a surprise that they reached the semi-finals, since this is our least talented generation.

Final between Atlético Madrid and River Plate.
