Jordi Roura and Aureli Altimira were Barcelona’s youth academy directors from 2014 to 2021 and know all about what it takes to play for the Catalan club.
The two men have been chatting to Mundo Deportivo about their work at the club and the two players they have been most surprised to see thriving in the first team.
The first is none other than Marc Casado who was promoted last year from Barcelona Atletic and has shone in recent weeks.
“Not because of his unquestionable quality, but because of the physical capacity he is demonstrating,” says Roura.
