Three young talents

Jaume Marcet/Roger Bogunyà

Pedrito, Víctor Vázquez and Víctor Sánchez have been called up for the first team’s game this Sunday at Almería. Out of the three young talents only Víctor Vázquez has yet to play for Barça in an official match.

Pedrito made his debut against Murcia in the League on matchday 19 when he came on for Eto'o in the 88th minute. Víctor Sánchez was in the starting XI for the return leg against Alcoyano in the last 32 of the Spanish Cup.

Pedrito

Aged 20. 26 games for Barça B. 1945 minutes played. 5 goals. One of the most consistent players in the club’s reserve team, Pedrito is a real battler throughout the entire 90 minutes of a game in attack. He usually plays wide on the right, though he’s also played on the left and in the centre, and has an excellent touch with both feet. This is the second time he’s been called up for the first team after his debut against Murcia.

Víctor Sánchez

Aged 20. 25 games for Barça B. 2002 minutes played. 1 goal. Víctor Sánchez is a genuine all-rounder as he’s played in all positions this season except for goalkeeper. Even though his normal position is in midfield, recently he’s been covering the centre of the Barça B defence and can also play at full-back – against Alcoyano he played at right back — and up front. It’s the fourth time he’s been called up for the first team this season after the games against Espanyol, Alcoyano (return leg) and Seville (League).

Víctor Vázquez

Aged 21. 17 games for Barça B. 1213 minutes played. 6 goals. Víctor Vázquez is the only one of the three who has yet to play in an official competition for Barça. He is an attacking midfielder who can also play centre forward and has great vision. Excellent in one-on-ones, Vázquez is the third highest goalscorer for Barça B. This is the second time he’s been called up for the first team after travelling to Seville (League).
