Village Idiot Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Barça will promote the B teamer, Eusebio Sacristán, surely? Not heard good things about him. Has the B team playing fairly direct and un-Barca-like from what I've read. Where do you read this s*** man? Might have been a blog. Could easily be bullshit. Was browsing redcafe because of the Real Madrid draw and I think I found your "source". http://www.redcafe.net/f7/tito-vilanovas-health-issues-363665/#post12688883 Probably 75% of the words of that post are utter bullshit "Jordi Vinyals is a terrific prospect".

Fair enough. Anyway, Barça B aren't playing quite the same style as the seniors, but neither did with Luís Enrique. It's more "direct" in the sense that it's based more on player individual skill than teamwork, but we are talking about a side that every year sees half its squad promoted/sold so you can't quite achieve the same level of cohesion. But the philosophy is the same, just adapted to the circumstances. One of the reasons we dissolved our "C" side and focused on youth tournaments is that it allows to keep more cohesive squads throughout the years (roughly the same bunch of kids play together as they age), and helps develop the kind of automatisms and teamwork required.
