A gap of 300 geniuses
Leaving La Masia with a lot of fatigue, it's an old football school, but it has the smell of giving birth to No. 4.
Cesc Fabregas is considered the next No. 4!
The reason why it is next is naturally because there are people up there!
The earliest can be traced back to a long time ago, it is too far away to be over, the most recent ones are the ones who have just left the team, Cesc Fabregas's idol Pep Guardiola, then Xavi in the first team, and Andres Iniesta, who lingers in the first team and the youth team.
Xavi is the most temperamental No.4, and although Andres Iniesta is also very similar to No.4, his technique is better, especially in the ability to dribble in small areas, and the ball is at his feet, which is basically difficult to break.
What kind of number 4 am I?
Cesc Fabregas doesn't feel like he is Guardiola-style or Xavi-style, each player has their own strengths and flaws, Xiaofa feels that he has a stronger scoring ability and a better ability to insert in the back row, but he can also participate in the organization and passing in the backfield, and he also has a certain defensive ability.
At the moment Jr. is the heart of La Masia's squad in his age group, and behind him stands his good friend Gerrard? Pique, but Pique is a Barça through and through, and he has Barça blood in his veins.
Barcelona is the second team that Xiaofa plays, his first team is in Mataro near his hometown, where there is a team in the lower league, Xiaofa was trained there, and gradually became a little famous, and when he was 10 years old, he was recruited to Barcelona by Barcelona's scouting network, which is a team he has loved since he was a child.
In the past few years in the Barcelona youth team, Xiaofa has improved a lot and improved his strength rapidly, especially as the core of the youth team, he is the source of the team's attack, and he is also a scoring expert, he once scored 30 goals in one season, which is a result that many forwards may not be able to do.
But even so, he still felt unconfident, especially when he saw Iniesta training with a look of disappointment.
Barcelona's team has been very chaotic in the past two or three years, and this year it is time for the chairman to be re-elected, and everything is chaotic, which makes no one care about the youth team at all, they are just thinking about how to make Barcelona's results surpass Real Madrid.
Andres Iniesta is a very talented and capable man whom Cesc Fabregas admires a lot, but he is like a ball on a football pitch, occasionally transferred to the first team to play a few games as a substitute and then kicked back into the youth team.
Iniesta is 19 years old, three years older than Xiaofa, so it can be seen that he is very confused, I heard that there are many teams that want to get him, and he also wants to get a chance, but he does not plan to leave Spain because he is afraid that he will not be able to adapt to the outside life, he is used to it.
There are not a few examples like Iniesta, in recent years, Barcelona has a lot of youth team players who have made a name for themselves outside, among which Gerrard left Barcelona, made a name for himself in Valencia, was selected for the national team, and even Real Madrid was interested in him, and was bought back by Barcelona for 24 million euros in 2000, but he still can't play the main team in the team, and now he is also making trouble to leave.
It's like a besieged city, where the people on the outside are squeezing their heads to get in, but the people inside are eager to get out!
Xiaofa has a good academic performance and is especially good at thinking, so he knows that this is the inevitability of professional football, which is very cruel and realistic, but only those who can withstand this test are qualified to become professional players.
He likes Barcelona very much and is willing to stay at Barcelona and wait for the opportunity, but the premise is that the team should give him an expectation, let him have a hope, let him know in his heart that he has a future in this team.
A familiar car came into Xiaofa's eyes, and there was a waiting middle-aged man standing in front of the car, his name was Jose? Diaz, who is Xiaofa's agent, has been in charge of helping Xiaofa with off-the-pitch affairs from the moment he entered Barcelona.
A decent broker!
"How's it going, tired?" Diaz tossed over a bottle of water.
Xiaofa caught it casually and nodded, "A little, what's going on?" Are you going to take me home today? ”
He hired a driver with a few children in the neighborhood, and his plan was to rent a house nearby if he could get a chance at Barcelona, so that he could avoid the hard work of going back and forth between his hometown and Barcelona for the past few years, and he could go to Barcelona to continue his studies.
Once in the car, Diaz drove north, in the direction of Fabregas's hometown, which is 40 kilometers from Barcelona, but Fabregas has been going back and forth every day for five years.
When he got home, he couldn't rest and did his homework!
He's such a self-disciplined and precocious guy!
Every time Diaz sees Cesc Fabregas, he puts such an image on him in his heart.
"Do you know what's going on out there right now?" It wasn't until he was far away from La Masia that Diaz spoke.
"Of course, they have their eye on Beckham and Ronaldinho!"
"Yes, that's right!" Diaz laughed, "But they don't have the money!" He laughed.
But Fabregas didn't think it was funny at all, he just had some heartache, Barcelona has really failed in recent years, and may not even be able to participate in European competitions next year, and the team is doing very badly, some people say that Barcelona is going to fall!
"Andres Iniesta is about to leave Barcelona, do you know that?" Diaz asked.
Cesc Fabregas nodded, "You know, what the hell is going on?" ”
"I contacted the team and they refused to give me a clear answer because they thought that you had a conflict with Xavi and Iniesta, Xavi could only barely gain a foothold in the first team, Iniesta couldn't even stand in the first team, plus the current situation at the club is very chaotic, the chairman is about to be re-elected, the financial crisis is in trouble, people are panicking, and no one can guarantee us anything!"
Speaking of which, it was clear that Diaz was disappointed to see Cesc Fabregas in the passenger seat next to him, and although he had expected this kind of reply, he was still saddened.
After waiting for a while, Diaz felt that Fabregas had almost calmed down before he continued: "I think you should learn from Iniesta's approach, leave Barcelona and go outside to find opportunities!" ”
"Outside? Where? Fabregas asked sensibly.
"England!" Diaz paused and replied, "You know what? There are a lot of English teams who are interested in you right now, two of them have been contacted by me officially, and I know that there are a lot of scouts watching you every day outside your training camp. ”
"Tell me about it!" Fabregas said.
"The first person who contacted me was Premier League powerhouse Arsenal, and their chief scout Steve? Raleigh called me personally and said they were interested in you and wanted to invite you to London. ”
"Arsenal? They don't develop young players very well, we just met their youth team a while ago, 5-1, we played them at a loss, and I've heard that Arsenal haven't used their Academy players much in recent years. ”
"Yes, so I didn't answer them directly!"
"And the other team is also in the Premier League?" Cesc Fabregas was a little disappointed because he knew that Premier League teams were notoriously discredited with not prioritizing youth and young players.
'No, no, it's England, but it's not the Premier League, but it's pretty much the same, they've secured promotion to the Premier League this season.'
"League One teams?" Cesc Fabregas was a little surprised, not that he looked down on the teams in League One, but that was a little surprised, and that's all.
'Yes, League One, but they have been outstanding this year, reaching the FA Cup final and the UEFA Cup final.
"Red rebels?" Fabregas blurted out.
Diaz was startled, nodded and said: "That's them, their chairman Mr. Xiao Yu came to Barcelona in person, hoping to meet you, you know, Mr. Xiao Yu is busy, but he didn't urge, but asked me to convey it, and then wait for your reply." ”
This is indeed Xiao Yu's original words, which sound very respectful.
Cesc Fabregas was a little surprised, he was familiar with this team, because this team has been super hot recently, especially the team's main central defender Curtis? Davies, who is only 18 years old this year, but is already the team's vice-captain, Piquet talks about him in front of Cesc Fabregas all day long, fantasizing that one day he can play in the first team of Barcelona at his age.
In addition, the team's emphasis on youth training is also very concerned, the average age of the team is only 20 years old, it is a famous youth army in Europe, and many of the main players in the team are less than 20 years old, but each of them has already played in the professional league.
At Cesc Fabregas's age, in this situation, all he thinks about is where I can play, not where I want to play, which is a world of difference.
Seeing Cesc Fabregas pondering, Diaz knew he was not as repulsive to the Red Rebels as he was to Arsenal, for the simple reason that the former is now more focused on youth than the latter, and that the Red Rebels are very bold in their use of young players.
"Mr. Xiao Yu gave me a phone call and he promised me that after joining you, you will be a member of the first team and play in the Premier League and the UEFA Cup next season."
Cesc Fabregas still hasn't said anything, but he's just hesitating, and if he doesn't want to leave Barca, he won't even hesitate.
In terms of feelings for Barcelona and personal future, I believe that anyone will know how to choose.
"How's it going?" Diaz asked.
If it were for other players, he would suggest going back and talking to his parents before making a decision, but for Cesc Fabregas, Diaz doesn't feel like that at all, because his parents have given him a lot of freedom to take full control of his own future.
This is mainly because Cesc Fabregas has always been a very precocious lad, although he is not yet 16 years old, but he is already more disciplined than many adults, and he always thinks methodically when it comes to things.
Maybe that's why he's so good on the pitch!
"Okay, Jose, you help me contact Mr. Xiao Yu, I promised to meet him, the time and place are up to you to decide, I have to talk to him personally before deciding where to go!"
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Diaz said with a smile.
