thanks for the chapter. man I wonder if they will go for 1-1 now. since 0-1 fighting against damian sounds like utter nightmare, without their ace too.

Pass around retaining possession so that the other team don't get the chance to score. If they had watch recent Liverpool game in the FA Cup during the 60th minute where they did exactly that, they know what will happen

In the starting 11, only 4 out 11 were from Barca Youth. The others were bought. So it's not wrong.
Also, hasn't Barcelona only been recently come back to using youth players due to financial constraints imposed on them by La Liga rules? For a while, no new players from La Masia got starts in the first time.

This arc likes to preach about how Barca isn't looking at La Masia and rather buy players from other big leagues.
but I just checked and found out that their 9 out of 26 players are from Barca Youth...

You have to taken into context about the time that the manga started in 2015, during the early days of one of the worst drought of talents ever from La masia. There are basically no academy players that managed to break through the academy into the first team. And those that have potential like Kubo, Grimaldo,...can't compete against the literaly treble winning team that Barca have at the time. So when things started going down hill, La masia can't produce any replacements for vacant spot, which led to panic and incompetent signing with big money. There is a reason why Fati was so hyped when he first break through, bro was the genuine first big talent ever since the 87' generation and why his current situation is so damn sad. Hopefully with the 2004-2007 generation, which is stated to be EXTREMELY talent, it would be different

too soon to discard him, bro is what, 21-22? And Brighton this season is not exactly doing good either. I still hold out hope for him tho, Barca desperately needs a good LW and if Fati can regain even 70% of his potential it would be godsend

what a stupid comment to make, it is not like the author can reference the present time. The reference he is using is clearly the Bartomeu era barca when they started buying players like crazy and pretty much ignored La Masia. If you are not a casual football fan you also know they are using more youth players now partly because they are cash strapped and can't afford players they want.

Also It was only when Xavi was appointed that Barca had a full restructuring in La Masai and player development departments. Next time process things in your brain first before you comment.

Cause of Barca's financial situation from Bartomeu's reign, that's what he's criticising and you're totally disregarding that fact.
This storyline has been practically planned out since 2020, Kobayashi's not gonna throw out his agenda mid-match just when Xavi is bringing in more youths to the team.

also to say Fati is a flop at only 21 is unfair too, cmon man
