A good day for Fontàs

The today is a good day for Andreu Fontàs. Born in Banyoles, Barcelona came to Youth in 2007 and since then, did nothing but go up stairs to reach the first team. As stated maximum, it is not difficult to get, but maintained. The defense did the hardest at those ages, arrive. But once up, chance played a trick on him: a serious injury that kept him until a few weeks ago about eight months out. That there be added the fact of playing at one of the best teams in the world, with the stiff competition that entails. With Pep Guardiola, for example, did not have all the minutes that surely would have wished. His ascension reminiscent of Marc Bartra, who Tito Vilanova has gradually been giving minutes: no excess liability, taking a chance, in the biggest games, because yes, there are parties more important than others-with players from other positions by the Central times.

About to turn 23, and although at Barça the central position, between converted and injured players, is one that deserves more attention as to reinforce concerns, Fontàs decided to join Real Mallorca will thing three weeks. Although the transfer window closed on August 31, injury to a defender Joao Victor vermilion-call led to this promising Joaquin Caparros defense that, to date, has failed to shine in the fields of First Division. Interestingly, the first time he was summoned by Guardiola was in a league match against Mallorca in May 2009, and finally saw off the bench. But his role was pushed to the meetings butler sporadic or trivial domestic championships in Champions (where he signed his first goal as a blaugrana).

Today, almost a year after signing his renewal with Barca entity until 2015, with a clause of 70 million euros, faces wearing apparel Balearic the computer that ran the half and that in the not too distant to succeed. Proof of this is that at the Iberostar Estadi have no option on the defender on loan until end of season. However, if you want to return as did other homegrown be approved with note in his new adventure. Left behind is an injury that has kept him in the hospital too long. Gone is the anguish of that is required to demonstrate daily. The minutes counted. We do not know if Caparrós will give the opportunity today to play against the team that remains. And if you do, playing in his natural position or as a midfielder, in the double pivot, where the Andalusian has located. He is comfortable on the new responsibility. Play wherever it was, because all I want is minutes. Put on the boots again.
