Former Catalonia "Barcelona" team forward Pedro Rodriguez is currently active in Italy, but he closely follows the activities of the Catalan superclub. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
In his opinion, the Catalans should not offer an external forward, but it is appropriate to trust a talented trainee from their own academy. Pedro stated that he would choose a player who has come from the academy, is ready to work, and wants to grow.
Calling an external footballer is easy, but it is not a solution for "Barcelona." The club may choose such a path only for certain positions on the field, but overall, the main focus should be on their own trainees.
Pedro Rodriguez played for "Barcelona" during the era of Josep Guardiola. In his view, relying on local talents is a crucial factor for the long-term success of the team.
Therefore, the club needs to pay great attention to the academy and prioritize the development of young players.
