Former Barcelona youth training coach: Roberto s development surprised me the most. Fric s Barcelona can win everything

September 5th News Barcelona not only trains players, but also gives birth to excellent coaches. Garcia Pimientta is an example. Now 51 years old, he successfully transformed into a professional football coach after serving as a coach at the Barcelona youth training camp for 17 seasons. He coached in Las Palmas and Sevilla successively and is currently at home. In an interview with World Sports, he talked about topics such as his old clubs Barcelona and Frick.

How do you feel if you don’t have a team coach now?

"This is also part of my coaching career. I now have a lot of time to watch games, rest and spend time with my family. I have been paying attention to the game since the start of the league, especially the Spanish league."

What else do you do to stay in shape besides watching games?

"First of all, I keep in touch with the team every day. You never know when you will be back in coaching again. In addition, I like to analyze all teams, observe the progress of the players, and focus on other leagues to understand different styles. I also plan to visit other coaches' training, especially those that I'm interested in, in order to experience their daily work firsthand."

Recently coached Sevilla

"I think it's very positive, and this experience in Sevilla is invaluable and I feel the support of the fans. Apart from only two points in the first four games, I think the team is The progress is very good. We played beautiful football and won the hearts of many people. "

The initial goal was to relegation, but later approached the Europa League qualification, and the team declined again. "After a difficult start, the team performed better and better from the fifth round, almost forgot the threat of relegation. In fact, with the eleven rounds left, we won the ball at home at the Royal Society, only one point away from the European arena. However, we then lost to Biba, Betis, Atletico Madrid and Valencia in succession, and these results led to my departure. "

In La Macia, who has the most surprising you?

"Maybe it was Roberto. He has always been an excellent player, and we know he could enter the Barcelona B team. But not only did he do this, he also became the captain of Barcelona and one of the most played players in the club. This is thanks to his persistence and hard work, as well as his versatile attributes. He eventually became a role model."

People often talk about Barcelona's DNA, can this style be copied in other clubs?

"Yes, but it takes time. In Las Palmas, it's easier to achieve because the club already has this philosophy and type of player. We do it in Seville, too. Players like to be the protagonists of the game and always think about how to handle the ball. It's very happy for the players. They're even more grateful when what they learned in training is reflected in the game."

Barcelona coached by Flick "Of course, I like it very much. I used to them twice in Seville and both lost. It's an aggressive team, played well, and the young players are full of confidence. Just like they are in the youth team, they're used to this way of playing, and this DNA is very important to clubs like Barcelona."

Do you think Barcelona has the ability to win everything?

"Yes, although you can't guarantee anything in football, especially in a short game, a small mistake can bring a lot of punishment. But last year they've proved themselves, won La Liga and the Copa del Rey and reached the Champions League semi-finals. They're ready to win everything, and I'm sure they'll compete to the end. It's a treat to watch them play."
