What a terrible offside call. Nolito was in his own half when the ball was played. This match should be 2-0 to Barça B.

Looked to me like he was right in front of the line. But yeah, he was on.

edu oriol’s having a good game. fontas stationed in the back has really freed him up. & i think that’s largely due to alcorcon playing two dudes up top.

I’m happy with the game so far, but the defense needs to pull their socks up. Alcorcon may only be a Segunda team, but they have a lot of self-belief after what they did to Real Madrid. They will take every chance they get.
Best players of the half: JDS, Thiago, Fontas, Edu Oriol.
Worst: Montoya and Armando. Too many lapses of concentration.

Yes, Thiago again! He has been great this whole game!

March 26, 2011
LOL, Thiago muscled one of our own players off the ball to set up that goal! He has a lot of self-confidence, that kid. He is going to be a real star. And I love his speed, we can use that.

Thiago and JDS work really hard in midfield. They can pass, but they can also make great tackles.

Do we know yet if Rafinha is being officially promoted to the B team this summer?
Jnice
March 26, 2011
Not sure, but I think he, Javi Espinosa, and Deulofeu have a good chance of being promoted.
blitzen
March 26, 2011
I don’t know much about Espinosa, but Deulofeu is a bit of class. Pep likes him too, I think. Hasn’t he called him up to train with the first team a couple of times?
Miguel
March 26, 2011
recently pep’s called up deulofeu. not sure how many times. i see at as a good sign.
Jnice
March 26, 2011
Yeah, they both have trained with the first team, but Deulofeu has trained with ’em a few more times.
If Deulofeu can keep his ego/attitude in check, he can become a great player. Espinosa seems more grounded, so I have no worries.

Watching Spain U-17’s with my mouth open everytime Deulofeu gets the ball. Barça fans…be very excited.
re Deulofeu; They put 3 players on him in the 2nd half & he beat them all time & time again. Agility, speed, strength, technique. EL CRACK.
el crack? heh. i can’t wait for deulofeo to make the jump to the b-team so i can watch him on a consistent basis.

i like the way luis enrique & pep are managing the youth team & its expectations. this really shows they have a long term vision. or maybe not, luis enrique is taking off, right? i wish him well. i wonder who barcelona has in mind to coach the b-team next year, though? luis enrique was the perfect dude for it.

Great pass by Victor Vazquez. Benja should’ve scored.

Benja has long periods where I forget that he on the field, then he will suddenly do something good. Not sure what to think about him.

Guys,Armando is the official vice captain after Vasquez.Since they hardly start, fontas and Soriano are the on field captains if that makes any sense.

I’ve ‘found’ Coentrao, but do you know what number Sanchez is? my stream’s in portuguese, so I’m struggling a little.
Offside. Phew. Should never have come to that, though. I saw that goal coming a mile away. Poor defending.
Barça B’s defense is looking kind of suspect. Alcorcon don’t have much of the ball, but when they attack, they look dangerous.
