FC Barcelona | Pau Cubarsí sows panic in Córdoba

Pau Cubarsí’s non-call for the Euro Cup opened a thunderstorm. Could it reinforce Barça Atlètic in the play-off for promotion to the Second Division? Due to age and regulations there would be no problem. In fact, the centre-back played 9 games with Rafa Márquez from Juvenil A before making a meteoric leap to the Barça first team. It has already rained from his last performance with the reserve team, it was just 5 minutes on December 17 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff against Ponferradina (1-1).

Márquez, in the press conference after the resounding victory over Ibiza (5-3) that qualified the Blaugranas for the play-off final, did not open the door, but he did not close it either: “It is not something that depends on me, but of the club. If it is, good, and if not, also.

Pending the Olympic Games

The truth is that it is a possibility that was diluted by the fact that the footballer is already on vacation, and this continues to this day, and because although it is not official, at Barça they ‘fear’ that Pau Cubarsí will be called up for the Paris Olympic Games, so his rest time is now, because later he will have to ‘reengage’ with the dynamics of the Blaugrana first team.

Furthermore, this week Mika Faye returns from his training camp with the Senegal senior team, so the position is covered with players in whom the Mexican coach fully trusts.

Commotion and debate

It has not been an ‘impediment’ for speculation, through social networks, about a possible presence of Cubarsí in the play-off and even from Córdoba voices were raised against the theoretical ‘advantages’ that the affiliates have. As usually happens when Barça Atlètic is fighting for promotion, the debate has also been revived about whether it would be more convenient for a subsidiary League to be played.

Barça Atlètic walks its path oblivious to everything that could distract it from the goal and with a clear conscience of having had an exceptional season having overcome a multitude of problems, among them the ‘massive’ call of players for the first team, a problem that the reserve team has had, but which in many cases is not valued as it is. due.
