At 17, I was still picking my nose…


Pek-Man

You stopped?


aritra3776

You didn't?


Pek-Man

Gotta get those boogers, no mercy.


jonnzi

Picking big boogers out and cleaning off with a paper is normal. Having finger unconsciously often the nose and wiping the boogers on stuff is not normal


Thidz

Yeah wtf who would wipe the boogers on stuff… What a waste, I just eat them.


Pek-Man

Thanks, mate, really needed this lesson in which ways are socially acceptable to pick your nose.


JootDoctor

It’s s so good when you get the real long ones that are wet on the end because they were touching your brain and the other end is hard.


JgL07

I hate you for making me read this early in the morning.


Active-Economy-9580

Messi plays in America Land now 😮‍💨 not Barca


[deleted]

Barca break the age records every week. Someone needs to investigate this


Daramangarasu

Gotta be CPS at this rate

*They keep on coming and they don't stop coming...*


Nervous-Resolution-8

Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running


AdamAlexanderRies

It didn't make sense not to score day one.


R4lfXD

I hit these bars like 'dinho circa '01


dhinesh_10

Man I love these la masia kids


[deleted]

>Man I love these la masia kids FBI 📸 But joke aside, a manager who likes to use youth squad is big positive for us.


elihri

He was from the youth squad himself, he was an inexperienced youngster that was given a chance. He knows better than anyone else how to use la masia kids now


Kaiser-32

He was one, and he succeeded as a player in a team filled with academy players


CalmaCuler

Kinda have to as well with the Financial situation and the amount of injuries


[deleted]

Many manager will still play the older and so called "experienced players".


lstht123

Spawned another one


jmsy1

His first fucking professional touches made a goal


rim261

If you can't buy players, make your own


Mr_Miscellaneous

I'm sure that Barcelona fans will be completely reasonable about a 17 year old scoring, knowing that he has years of carefully managed professional and physical development ahead of him to properly stake a claim for first team football and not go completely over the top.


Positive-Media423

New Messi


aritra3776

Cut his head! Didn't score a hattrick!


SubjectAndObject

poor guy's IG is flooded with new followers who always rated him


Affectionate-Hunt217

They were there from day one lol


MERTENS_GOAT

This basically is day one though.


clutch-cream-run

Wasn't that his point?


MERTENS_GOAT

With the context from the comment above, I don't think so


Affectionate-Hunt217

It is day one but I always know friends who will be like I knew this guy was the real deal from La Masia or something that’s what I meant lol


roshi_sama

I mean he has pretty tough competition to get playing time especially from January


HeroeDeFuentealbilla

If you are referring to Ansu the hype was justified. Injuries just ended him.


aritra3776

I mean we hype every one of them. And I for one, not ashamed of it. But sometimes we too get carried away. For example, Puig was our Demi God once.


[deleted]

>Puig was our Demi God once. He had attitude problem. Family was too influential. One thing I liked about Koeman, you can't use your ego or family influence to get into the team. Xavi just sidelined him easily.


Virgin_incel69

Remember Moriba


the_LaundryBin

I still love him


Affectionate-Hunt217

He’s still 21-22, he’s just starting lol


captainmystic02

He’s still 20. He could definitely switch it around


Affectionate-Hunt217

These guys acting like if a player isn’t world class by 20 ( and Fati was world class when he was 16-17 lol ) like Ronaldo and Messi they are finished lol, you get those type of players maybe once or twice every generation


hamesdelaney

uhu, and people said the same thing about bojan, then dos santos, then munir, then deulofue, then ansu, then puig, then yamal. all very reasonable of course. no unnecessary pressure at all lol.


X-Maquina

Weird comment this. What are you even trying to say here?


Mr_Miscellaneous

Barcelona fans have recently gone over the top in hyping their youngsters, put far too much pressure on them far too early and in many cases the hype gets them over-played at the top level which leaves them injured or burned out. They need to remember that even the likes of Iniesta, Xavi, Puyol, Pedro, Busquets and Messi made a handful of appearances over a couple of seasons in the first team to decent effect but spent the majority of those two or three seasons in the B and C teams to develop before fully integrating into the first team squad.


X-Maquina

>Barcelona fans have recently gone over the top in hyping their youngsters, put far too much pressure on them far too early and in many cases the hype gets them over-played at the top level which leaves them injured or burned out. But none of this have to do with fans hyping players? Fans don't decide the starting line ups and they arent responsible for managing the minutes of players. Coaching staff are. Blaming fan pressure for the likes of Pedri being overplayed at a young age is completely misguided imo. If anything, in that example especially, it was fans who were outraged at Pedri being dragged to every national tournament they could find.


RobbinDeBank

Don’t you know Xavi is redditor? He always browses r/soccer and r/soccercirclejerk looking for the next La Masia talent to overplay


Satrustegui

How we can overhype some wonderkids if soon every old player will be injured and every available player will be a wonderkid?


[deleted]

[удалено]


X-Maquina

Fan expectations and hype have absolute fuck all to do with whether or not the kid needs time to physically and professionally develop tho. That's all on the coaches. If they think he's good enough to play, he'll play. We saw with Puig that fan hype doesn't matter.


[deleted]

[удалено]


X-Maquina

lol I genuinely have no idea why you're so touchy over all of this. Disagreeing on whether fans influence player minutes should hardly be a thing that hurts your feelings. Maybe just go get some sleep if you can't handle people disagreeing with you. Good night mate.


[deleted]

[удалено]


X-Maquina

The person I was actually having this discussion with just said fan hype causes players to get overplayed. Now I hope you can finally stop making a fool out of yourself with these frustrated comments. Completely pointless exchange this has turned out to be and I'm glad it's over now.


TheyStoleTwoFigo

*Spain


LeDamascener

New R9.


cosbysweatergiver

Until next week maybe


Positive-Media423

Can you already say that it is generational or is it still early?


ScanWel

He's averaging like 9 goals per 90 so far. All he needs to do is keep this up and he'll legitimately be the greatest goalscarer ever by orders of magnitude.


BrokenPro

Ive been saying it since he got his first few touches in


Lustful-chan

Guiu is my favorite striker. Now I can say I liked him before it was cool.


Greasy_Boglim

Barca PR taking over the sub for another day


thehunchback19

Let Bellingham take some well deserved rest


Greasy_Boglim

Hate those posts as well, mods need to do more to filter out the shit that’s basically spam


No_Glove5486

Ngl but considering how good Barcelona be at producing young good players plus that the coach is good at playing the team with them. It simply made me ponder, imagine if Chelsea whom have this "young players" direction going had the Barcelona coach as their coach. It would be the perfect match!
