After Ansu, Konrad

Top cruyffistas have an intuition. If, as it seems in some outbursts, Koeman internalized some tics of Johan, he will not change his system due to Ansu Fati's injury. Nor will he touch more than necessary the positions in which Dembélé, Coutinho or Pedri. they are playing with some success. And, on the contrary, it will explore in the quarry. He knows who is growing up there because he already had him at his command in preseason. Konrad de la Fuente (11-16-2001) was born in Miami. His parents, however, decided to move to Catalunya in 2011 and the boy, after going through the Tecnof Fútbol training school, was signed by Damm, a team with an old quarry tradition in Barcelona. It was then when Marc Serra and Marcel Sans incorporated him to the Barça child. There he met Ansu.

Konrad is a winger with a certain explosiveness who, despite being right-handed, prefers to play on the left. Sometimes, it gives the feeling of playing too fast and not choosing the best option. However, he has continued to climb in the Barça quarry and in the United States team, which has just summoned him together with Dest to play two friendlies against Wales and Panama with a handful of exciting boys: Pulisic (Chelsea), Timothy Weah ( Lille), McKennie (Juventus) or Yunus Musah (Valencia) himself. Upon his return, Konrad will learn more about the plans of Koeman, an apparent conservative for whom Pedri is indisputable … In these cases, Guardiola wondered: “What would Johan do?” Surely put the American boy.
