Barcelona’s Youthful Pivot Plan: Casado and Bernal in the Spotlight
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is contemplating a shift in their pivot options, looking towards La Masia youngsters Marc Casado and Marc Bernal to counteract Oriol Romeu’s recent underwhelming performances.
Marc Casado, a regular presence in the first team’s matchday squad this season, has seen limited playing time, with just eight minutes on the Montjuic pitch against Shakhtar in October.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Marc Bernal, though yet to make a senior team appearance, is making significant strides at Barca B, contributing to three goals in 10 games. Endorsed by Deco and Xavi for possessing the right qualities, Bernal is anticipated to receive a first-team call-up soon.
However, the promotion might be deferred until December, as Bernal is currently representing Spain in the U-17 World Cup squad in Indonesia. The article sheds light on Barcelona’s potential pivot alternatives and the promising youth waiting in the wings.
