Is he actually that strong and physical as a player? Or just more so than other players in his age group? I thought it was the latter and that was why he hasn't been that remarkable for the B team?

It's exactly the way you describe it. He hasn't fully learned how to make use of his body in the best way.

I disagree he knows how to use his body his defensive work rate and ability has improved a lot to the detriment of his offense and associative play. I think if he combines his strength with associative player he will be unstoppable. He is very capable of doing this too.

How is he like? Could he be the next big thing in the first team? Haven't seen much of him but based on youtube highlights he doesn't seem too fast, but seems to be using his body well in physical duels.

He's not like the usual La Masia Midfielders you usually see but he's gifted and often he's been compared to Pogba in terms of style.
Not had a great season but still, there's a good reason why the club was desperate to hold on to him along with Fati, he's considered one of the best prospects we have.

The previous board had same faith at him as Fati, so that should give us hope.
He isn't typical la masia midfielder, more physical (but not freak like Pogba, whom some go overboard and compare him to) with some speed too.

I watched second half vs Badalona and he was invisible. Pimienta subbed him off in 80th minute. It's hard to judge a player based on 35 minutes but he was slow with and without the ball, his positioning was bad and he showed a very low work rate during that second half. I really hope he is usually much better than he was during that second half as this was pretty bad for such a hyped talent.

He did fine. His playing style differs from our other players, but not near Puig/Pedri level yet.

Ilaix is closer to Puig level than Puig is to Pedri.
Was better than him in that first half.
