I am close to the FCBarcelona youth academy and I can assure you that size in itself has not been a goal (because it obviously is a disadvantage for physical contact) -- it has been the result of scouting for faster-thinking and faster-moving, more technical players disregarding physical size. I would like to emphasize that one of the chosen ones is Busquets, who is quite tall. I think that the coincidence of Xavi, Messi and Iniesta is not statistically significant and we'll see other, taller players like Fabregas and Busquets coming through La Masia. If you want to learn more about the history and the methods of the FC Barcelona youth academy, there is an excellent book out there called "For the Love of the Ball", highly recommend it.AFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02179493511100272280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731411137685891959.post-5622838632597572052013-11-29T23:14:36.440+01:002013-11-29T23:14:36.440+01:00you could add Marco van Basten (1.88), Paolo Maldi...you could add Marco van Basten (1.88), Paolo Maldini (1.86), Zinedine Zidane (1.85), Gabriel Batistuta (1.86), or the Brazilian Ronaldo (1.83)… the likes of Cruyff and Platini were not that short eitherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-731411137685891959.post-54433130243461571052013-11-29T10:53:50.437+01:002013-11-29T10:53:50.437+01:00“Still, the best players are the shorter ones:(.....“Still, the best players are the shorter ones:(..)"<br /><br />I beg to differ. To name a few taller ones: Socrates (1,93m), Beckenbauer (1,81m), Ballack (1,89m), Ibrahimovic (1,95m), C.Ronaldo (1,86m), Kaká (1,86m), Balotelli (1,89m), Lampard (1,84m)<br />Defenders, Midfielders, Strikers - I don't think the case of Barca supports to an overwhelming extent the theory presented above. It's rather an outlier. Just compare it to the sides of last season's Champions League final, Dortmund and Bayern. Both of them equipped with tall, physically (and mentally) strong players.Marcushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388943761342503882noreply@blogger.com
