This is how the Blaugranas are doing at the U-17 World Cup

He U-17 World Cup It started just a week ago and the first qualifiers for the round of 16 of the tournament are already known. Barça’s youth team contributed nine players to the youth championship and all of them have already secured a place in the next round, the Spaniards first in the group and Darvich and Germany They will be playing for the first place match Venezuela tomorrow

Today in MD we come to evaluate the performance of the culé pearls in this Group Phase of the U-17 World Cup.

Pau Cubarsi

180 minutes

Cubarsí promises what is expected of him and is the leader of José Lana’s defense. The Spanish defender was already a starter for Rafa Márquez’s Barça Atlètic when he was just 16 years old and is one of the main supporters of this team. Barça is ‘cooking’ a good defender and Cubarsí is growing fast.

2

Hector Fort

180 minutes / One MVP and one assist

If Fort took the start of Rafa Márquez himself it was for a reason. The young Barça player is one of the most important players of this team and against Mali he showed why with a great assist. He was the MVP of the game after a great match where he was a cannon in the right lane. He played the first two full games and was rested with qualification for the round of 16.

3

Marc Bernal

85 minutes

Bernal is one of the players who came to the best dynamics in the U-17 World Cup. He became untouchable in Rafa Márquez’s Barça Atlètic team, but upon his arrival in the national team he was relegated to a more secondary position. He was a substitute in the first match against Canada, where he played 22 minutes, he did not play against Mali, and he started against Uzbekistan when ‘La Rojita’ had already qualified.

4

Andres Cuenca

180 minutes

Cuenca was a substitute for Jon Martín in Spain’s debut against Canada, but since that match, and despite the fact that ‘La Rojita’ kept a clean sheet against the Americans, Lana has lined him up against Mali and he was given the go-ahead against Uzbekistan. The backline will be a mystery in the round of 16 but Cuenca has a chance to start again from the starting eleven.

5

Paul Prim

203 minutes

Pau Prim is one of the leaders of this Spain U-17 team. The pivot of Barça is the captain and one of the pillars of José Lana’s team. While Rafa Márquez has largely considered Bernal in the Barça Atlètic rotation, Prim is reasserting himself at this World Cup. This led to the ouster of Malian Diarra.

6

Juan Hernandez

185 minutes / One goal

The Teruel player was Spain’s hero against Mali. The playmaker was the scorer of the Spanish victory goal in a match where José Lana’s team suffered greatly against the Africans. Add two possessions and a goal.

7

Quim Junient

218 minutes / One goal

The Balsareny player is the only Barça player to start all three games. Although he came from playing for Juvenil B culé and did not get many opportunities with Óscar López, he was one of the regulars in the midfield of José Lana’s ‘La Rojita’. In the match against Canada he was the scorer of the second Spanish goal and it was one of the surprises of the tournament.

8

Marc Guiu

175 minutes / One goal and one assist

The young striker arrived as one of the players on whom the most expectations and hopes were placed and it took him little time to show why he has already scored in the first team. In Spain’s first match against Canada, the Granollers player scored a goal and scored the second with a backheel, a match in which he also won the MVP. Although he was unable to score against Mali, his role will be fundamental to Spain’s progress in the championship.

9

Noah Darvich

165 minutes / One goal, two assists and an MVP

The German was one of the stars at the beginning of the championship. Darvich hasn’t had the best of starts at Rafa Márquez’s Barça, but every time he dons the German kit he proves that he is one of the greatest talents to grow in Europe. His MVP at the U-17 European Championship is an example of the former Freiburg player’s quality and his two assists and a goal in games against Mexico and New Zealand have put him back on top of the international scene.
