I understand that many men get angry when feminists say bad stuff about men in general. It sucks to be accused of being bad when you don't think it applies to you.

But, maybe use that anger to call out your peers, to be a good example and make men as a group be better, instead of being angry at the women calling things out, you know?

Fermín López, the example of Barça’s different way of proceeding

The Andalusian midfielder goes against all the preconceived ideas of La Masia’s child prodigies, who go through the ranks at breakneck speed

Fermín López has become an established player of Barça’s first team squad after a journey through the blaugrana youth academy that reveals some of the keys to the success of the La Masia formula.

When Barça decided to sign Fermín, the player from Huelva was playing for Betis’ Infantil B team. He was a very skillful player who has already received positive reports three years earlier, but it was not until the summer of 2016 that the decision to sign him was made. At a youth tournament in Tarragona, the then head of the youth system Jordi Roura was convinced that he should be signed. His physique was his handicap but his talent was unquestionable. ‘Fer’ moved to La Masia and there he began a more complicated journey than expected.

From more to less

His coach in the Infantil A Carles Martínez, current coach of Toulouse, had already noticed his enormous talent and his physical disadvantage: “when I saw him at Betis I told the people in charge that because of his physique he would suffer in the first years, but that if we didn’t bet on him we would regret it”.

With Infantil A he scored 12 goals and when he made the jump to Cadete B he finished a remarkable season with 13 goals.

His physical condition, a difficult obstacle

Despite these results, Fermín wasn’t a regular starter due to his insufficient physical condition. The then head of the youth system Jordi Roura advised coaches use him, although his limited stature and lack of strength was a major handicap when competing. His last year as a cadet and his first year as a youth player were an enormous test of patience for Fermín. It is no coincidence that between the two season he did not score more than five goals. His delayed growth prevented him from winning duels, minutes were scarce and it seemed that his short stature was going to be a total hindrance to exploit his talent.

Fermín played two years in a row with the Juvenil B team and, in his last year in youth football with the Juvenil A team, he started to perform as expected when he first was signed. At any other club, Fermín would not have spent so many years as a regular substitute. There certainly wouldn’t have been the patience and a way out would have been sought for him.

Patience and loan

The player’s patience, but above all the commitment of those in charge of the club, eventually paid off. Barça were aware that the gamble on Fermín was a long-term investment with a bumpy road ahead. the athletic conditions were going to undermine his path but, in the end, as his coach in the Juvenil A team Óscar López explains, these difficulties “made him progress and develop other key skills”.

After a positive end to the season with Juvenil A, Fermín accepted Barça’s decision to loan him to Linares with positivity (t/n 🤔❔🤨). Many others would have been discouraged and missed the Barça train but Fermín saw it as an opportunity. He emerged with Linares and convinced Xavi in the pre-season.

An exemplary attitude

Fermín is an example for the rest of the cantenaros, the road is sometimes tortuous and the key is to face it with an overflowing competitive mentality that allows you to continue to grow. Barça bet on pure talent in the long term without being fooled by his physique and, with time, these difficulties have catapulted the Andalusian footballer to the elite. A good example for the rest of the aspiring stars.
