Hansi Flick intends to give 19-year-old Barcelona talent his first team debut against Real Valladolid – Report | OneFootball

There is always room for more players to make a name for themselves at FC Barcelona. From first-team regulars to youth players, everyone has the chance to make an impression and make their own place in the team. After all, many of the top Barcelona players right now are still just youngsters.

From Lamine Yamal to Pau Cubarsi, these game-changers are simply youth players who were given the right opportunities. Thanks to those opportunities and the trust that was put in them, these players now have the chance to put up top performances and rescue their team.

Fortunately, this particular trend did not begin with the current players and it will not end with him. Moreover youngsters will continue to get opportunities and they will simply have to make the most of what they get if they really want to make a place for themselves at Barcelona.

Hansi Flick intends to hand Dani Rodriguez his debut

For the upcoming game against Real Valladolid, it appears that Hansi Flick intends to do just that and give a certain youngster a potential debut. As highlighted by Mundo Deportivo, Flick intends to possibly give some minutes to 19-year-old youth team player Dani Rodriguez.

At the very least, the Barcelona coach is looking to hand the young winger his first team debut. Already impressed with his versatile and dynamism, there have been reports in the past that have suggested that Hansi Flick wants to promote the youngster to the first team as well at some point.

Impactful even with limited minutes

Despite his limited minutes (382) this season due to injuries, the Barcelona talent has managed to put out respectable numbers. Having scored three goals and having provided several assists, Dani Rodriguez has undeniably showcased his ability to make a difference even with limited minutes.

That is what he will be hoping to manage against Real Sociedad if he does end up getting a few minutes off the bench. However, he is not the only youth player to be included in the official squad list for this game, as the likes of both Landry Farre and Noah Darvich have been added as well.
