"You have to go step by step. I started in a first team in Brazil and then I went to the formative football. At this moment I have to be concentrated on the formation of the boys who are young. You have already seen that our average age is 18 and 19 years and today I have to be one hundred per cent in this."
"Having a good understanding of the talents in the academy and the club's philosophy, such candidates are usually promising to shift to the first team. The lack of experience, however, is a hurdle and even the current B team manager Juliano Belletti finds himself in a similar situation."
Transitioning from Barcelona's academy to the first team represents the ultimate goal for young players, achieved through merit. Similarly, B team managers often dream of advancing to the senior squad, with Pep Guardiola being the most notable example. Candidates with academy knowledge and understanding of club philosophy are promising candidates, though inexperience presents challenges. Barça Atletic manager Juliano Belletti acknowledges his ambition to eventually coach Barcelona's first team but emphasizes the importance of gradual progression. He stresses commitment to his current position developing young players rather than focusing on future opportunities. Barcelona Atletic currently sits fourth in Segunda Federacion Group 3, seven points behind leaders Sant Adreu and positioned for promotion playoffs.
