Renowned Academy La Massia has become a spectacular failure

In a time “La Massia” was a very controversial topic among football fans.

Barcelona's famous academy was responsible for developing the club's greatest talents.

Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Inista, Sergio Busquets, Gerard Pique, and others were simply unstoppable when they left the club's new age groups, broadcast Periscope.

But in recent years, nearly no player has managed to break the barriers and switch to the first squad.

Sergi Roberto is the last player from the academy to have done so, until Riqui Puig is the actual hope of the blaugran youth.

But why this sudden decline? Well, a report by journalist Xavi Torres details problems within “La Massias”

We have divided his report into several key points.

Initially, the “Maxia 360-1x1> strategy of Barca President Josep Maria Bartholomew has been a spectacular failure.

The objective was to divide more money to support staff and trainers, to increase help from psychologists, to advance academic studies, and more.

But to put it more simply, Bartholomew put the wrong people in charge of this project and the whole idea became a disaster, which has caused the club serious financial damage.

As for the residence at the club, some rooms that were designed to keep footballers are back in the office.

And for the 48 players still living in “La Massia”, most of them are loaned or reserves, not promising talents that have left their families as they had been doing Messy years ago.

And to make things worse, the food that is served at the academy is not in harmony with the foods a footballer should be served.

In the end, young training without experience has been placed in important positions that have no knowledge and “Barca's DNA.” /Periscope. com/
