Thiago Alcantara

[FCBarca]

Yeah, mate, just read it.. He lloks very good on the pitch. This injury will definitely slow his integration in the first squad.. Very sad..

You can be sure that that effectively rules him out from first team football for this coming season...Injuries in the first half of the season saw Jeffren and Pedrito see the same sort of results last season too

All that means, of course, is that we'll see a very determined Thiago next preseason to break into the first team...I predict he'll be with them arty00231:

Agree, but with absence of Keita during African world cup, he could be used.. A little dose of experience, as Pep did with Jefren and Pedro last season..

Or the warm up wasn´t good enough.

Either way, it confirms that jonathan will be called up rather than thiago (if pep decides to call up a midfielder).

Well, to be fair, I think Pep always intended to use JDS before Thiago anyway

I don't think so.... Thiago played first team football before JDS. However, we didn't see much of Thiago because he was in the U17 WC for Spain.

Now Thiago is hurt...

Lemmi, I'm exposed to the medical field, and I do know for a fact that they aren't sorcerors. I also do know that some injuries can't be prevented, but I also know for sure that our injuries were well prevented by last year's staff compared to the old one during Rijkaard's year.

You are absolutely correct. That is the primary function of a physiologist in a sport club. Preventative treatment, this can include: regular testing (to prevent wear and tear), proper warms up, good strength training/endurance workouts, understanding the unique needs of each player's body, staying up to date on new procedures/research, among other things.

What i mean is it doesn´t give him any dilemma. He doesn´t have a choice.

And this is not an injury born from poor preparation or lack of warm ups (which are taken by coaches, not physios) and also it is not a wear and tear injury. To put blame on physio for a knee strain is absurd in this incidence.

 

[Barcaman]

I guess it`s a bit harsh to draw conclusions based on a single incident. It`s not like we`re having those training injuries popping up like 2-3 seasons ago.

He's still young, so he should heal faster and surer, and also he will hopefully get many more opportunities in the first team.

I like Thiago really much if really think he is somthing for the future for me he is a mix of xavi and iniesta... I can't wait to se him in the first team, but it will take a while i think :/ btw. anyone who knows anything about his younger brother rafa who also are in La Masia how is he?

 

[beautifulgame]

I haven't seen any video but I think someone on the forum said that Thiago's little brother is suppose to be even better. It might be earlier in this thread. Anyway, if its true

Also, I rate Thiago very highly! Next season we will hopefully begin to integrate him and Jonathon. We definately won't need any new midfielders if we do.

Jonathon, Inie, Xavi, Kieta, Busquets, Thiago and Yaya.

Once again..

rafael the younger brother trained today with the first team for the first time

 

[beef-supreme]

Wowoweeewa, I can see that Pep clearly values the Alcantara brothers! Amazing stuff!

The Alcantara brothers could become the next best static-dynamic partnership the world has ever seen! after Xaviesta.
