The Barcelona project serves as the perfect example for Europe that big-money signings are not a necessity to be successful. After all, the Catalans have relied heavily on their academy and are now reaping the fruits of their patience.
From Lamine Yamal to Pau Cubarsi, the team is full of young names to the point that Gavi and Pedri look like veterans when they themselves are in their early twenties.
The team’s faith in young talent, needless to say, is very encouraging, especially for other prodigies who gave up their dreams early or fear the lack of opportunities.
The former Celta de Vigo prodigy speaks
talking to Sports World In a recent interview, former Celta Vigo prodigy Gabri Veiga shared his opinion on the new Barcelona. The Masia generation and the young team that is breaking records.
“The truth is that I really enjoy watching Barcelona games. In my free time I follow the Spanish league a lot,” said.
“This season it has been a pleasure to watch them play. “I think it is special that a club that works so well with its young players is now reaping the benefits.” he added.
He then spoke about the qualities necessary to succeed at Barcelona and the potential he sees in Hansi Flick’s team.
“I always say that to play for Barcelona you have to be special. And they are showing that they are capable of playing there and performing at a high level, even in the Champions League.”
“As a Spaniard and a fan of good football, I am very happy for them and I hope they continue to perform as well as they know how.” he added, revealing the joy factor in watching Barcelona play.
Finally, he was asked about the possibility that Barcelona would approach signing for the club in the future and what his decision would be in such a hypothetical scenario.
“Well, in the end I am a big fan of good football, a big fan of Barcelona, a big fan of Madrid, and I have no preferences.”
“Obviously my team will always be Celta, but I am a person who loves football and always dreams of playing in great teams with the best players. It’s difficult to answer, but hopefully.” he added.
