Do you sell an opportunity? The future of Marc Casadó, an unknown for Barça
THE PIVOT HAS SEEN LITTLE ACTION IN THE FIRST TEAM
The name of Marc Casadó has not had the impact that presaged in the FC Barcelona. The native of Sant Pere of Vilamajor was considered one of the big projects of the club for the position of pivote. Nevertheless, in spite of the big quantity of good irruptions to the first team of players The Masia, the mediocentro has had very little participation. This results particularly curious, since the Barcelona cast is looking for a reliable relief for the position after the game of Sergio Busquets and the bet fallida by Oriol Romeu.
With alone 20 years, Marc Casadó already has established like captain and key player in the tactical diagram of Rafa Márquez in the Barça Atlètic this campaign. It has added 1288 minutes of game in a total of 15 commitments. However, in the first team, in spite of having been summoned in a total of 23 occasions in this period, Xavi Hernández has not given him a lot of minutes of game.
The pivote, in this campaign, under the orders of the egarense alone has accumulated 22 minutes of action in hardly two clashes (8′ in front of the Shakhtar and 14′ in front of the Amberes), what generates a true incógnita on why happen the days and no offers him the opportunity to have greater leadership in the first team, when other young talents like Lamine Yamal (16), Fermín López (20), Héctor Fort (17) and more recently Pau Cubarsí (17) have been able to remain to complete time in the Barcelona dynamics.
The Barcelona picture has had very little confidence in the mediocentro
The mediocentro, that already has showed to be in an upper level to the First RFEF, has not attained to have a lot of opportunities in the first team. This does not be due to the fault of announcements, since from the past season has been summoned in no less than 37 occasions. Nevertheless, only it has had action in three parties and 45 minutes. Curiously, it has had the opportunity to debut in the Champions League, but still has not had his debut in LaLiga and in the Glass of Rey, what indicates that perhaps it does not explain the sufficient in the project of the technician of Terrassa. It remains the incógnita of if it will explain for the next trainer that arrive.
Marc Casadó adjusts to the attractive profile of an intense pivote that contributes balance between attack and defence, which is quite necessary in a team. However, the club has not offered him the sufficient options and does not seem that they go to increase in a near future. The Barcelona is still in the active research of a new pivote and, in spite of not having another alternative in addition to Oriol Romeu, have decided to bet momentáneamente by the Danish Andreas Christensen, what denies him to the mediocentro another opportunity to play and increases the uncertainty on if really it explains in the plans of the team.
The FC Barcelona will bet for renewing to Casadó or will look for to sell him?
These doubts intensify if it considers that the agreement of Marc Casadó with the club culé finalises at the end of this season, with an option to extend it until 2025. Besides, there are several teams interested in the pivote, by what his future would have to resolve prompt. For now, at all it seems clear for a player that continues expecting patiently his opportunity to shine in the first team of the FC Barcelona.
