๐จ๐ฃ๏ธ @ffpolo: โFlick shouldnโt rule out the option of dropping deeper defensively when necessary, allowing the team to catch its breath and reorganise. If even a great side like PSG did it against Barcelona, thereโs no reason why other teams shouldnโt do the same.โ #fcblive ๐
๐จ๐๏ธ| Ter Stegen: โReturning to Barรงa? I still speak to some players from time to time to see how theyโre doing, although not much with Hansi (Flick) recently. I follow Barcelonaโs results regularly and watch their games whenever possible. I spent 12 years at Barรงa, so I have a very close relationship with the club. Itโs only November, so I really canโt say what will happen next summer.โ #fcblive ๐
๐จ๐๏ธ| Paul Scholes: "I think Erling Haaland would go to Barcelona. He looks like a Real Madrid player, but he'll go to Barรงa." #fcblive ๐ณ๐ด
๐จ๐๏ธ| Marc Bernal: โRodri joining Barรงa? I saw Rodri joining Barรงa in two ways. It pisses me off because he would take minutes away from me, but at the same time, I would have the best in the world to learn from. Heโs a leader.โ #fcblive
๐จ๐๏ธ| Rio Ngumoha: โWhat Lamineโs doing changed football for young players.The way he plays, itโs like itโs his pitch. Seeing what he can do so young inspires me and other youngsters in how we can just play freely. Heโs phenomenal, one of the BEST in the world.โ #fcblive
๐จ๐๏ธ| Pedro Porro on Barcelona links: โItโs always a compliment when one of the best clubs in the world is interested in you. Iโm very happy at my club and have a contract to respect. Rumours are part of football, but right now Iโm focused on the national team. Weโll see what happens afterwards.โ #fcblive
๐จ| ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐: Andreas Christensen has WITHDRAWN from Denmarkโs squad for the international break, choosing to remain at Barcelona and focus on regaining full fitness after recently returning against Atlรฉtico Madrid.
Denmark coach Brian Riemer revealed that Christensen called him on Sunday night, almost in tears, as he was extremely frustrated and disappointed about missing the national team fixtures.
โHe loves the Danish national team. He is in a recovery process and has assessed that his body is not ready for international matches. He made this decision with a heavy heart.โ #fcblive ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐
๐จ๐| ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐: Barcelona are taking strict measures to protect their young academy talents from excessive media exposure and social media pressure.
The latest example is 12-year-old Hugo Galdeano, whose videos have accumulated 285M VIEWS and whose Instagram account, managed by adults, has over 212,000 followers. He gained around 30,000 followers in just a few days after the LaLiga Futures tournament in Orlando.
DAZN and Movistar wanted to interview him, but Barcelona maintained strict control over the process. The club reviewed the questions, requested the removal of certain topics and rejected comparisons between Galdeano and Pedri. Even a special message from Andrรฉs Iniesta was requested to be addressed to the entire team rather than the youngster alone.
Barcelona's general policy is to avoid individualising young players. Even after hat-tricks or outstanding performances, the club prefers collective posts rather than putting individual children in the spotlight. It also avoids publishing individual MVP awards through its FCBMasia account.
The club has introduced restrictions on sharing footage from inside La Masia and dressing rooms involving minors. Players who have ignored these rules have reportedly been warned.
Barรงa also holds discussions with the Mossos d'Esquadra (Catalan Police) to educate youngsters about online dangers, inappropriate private messages and sports betting. The sporting management has additionally warned some families against excessively exposing their children on social media.
The priority is to let young players develop away from unnecessary pressure, protecting their privacy and ensuring that their football comes before their social media popularity. [@La_SER] #fcblive ๐
