Carles Alena and La Masia Barcelona Alumni

DBasia.news –  Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Carles Puyol, Lionel Messi, are some examples of La Masia alumni who were successful in the first team of Barcelona. Not just success, but also history. A great record that Barcelona wants to repeat.

This situation gives high pressure to all players who are in the academy. Every player who has high potential will get high expectations and compared to their predecessors when given the opportunity to play with the senior team.

The Barcelona midfielder, Carles Alena, highlighted the pressure by asserting that the generation of gold produced by La Masia with various players such as Pique, Xavi, and Messi will not be repeated.

“I have said several times that people always have the urge to see instant success from the Barcelona academy players. Many people consider that the success of the golden generation can be easily repeated and we must immediately realize that it cannot be repeated at all, “Carles Alena said in an interview to the US.

Alena stressed that La Masia would still be a mainstay for Barca, but they must continue to produce players with sufficient levels of ability to penetrate the senior squad. The 21-year-old believes that Ernesto Valverde can provide opportunities for academy players to practice and perform for the senior team.
