Famous Spanish coach Javier Clemente condemned Barcelona for pressure on the team’s young players.
– When Messi left, they said that they already have his replacement, Ansu Fati, who was only 17 years old. It was a big blow for such a young player, he was forced to be in the starting lineup and with a huge responsibility on himself. Of course, he could not withstand such pressure, and now they don’t even remember him. Will 17 year old replace Messi? Barbarism.
Now they are doing the same with Pedri and Gavi, but you need to be patient. They make the players what they are not yet,” said the experienced Spanish coach.
Barcelona is leading the current standings of the championship of Spain.
