The youth player has been one of the players that Xavi has called to start the preseason with the first team
In May he also received a call from the Egarense coach to complete training with the ‘A team’
Mark Casadó was one of the players that Xavi called to start the preseason with the first team due to the lack of personnel. Now, with half of the starting XI injured, the Terrassa coach has recovered him again.
This name will already sound familiar to some. The pivot has been one of the most outstanding players of the Juvenil A season, which has achieved the double after winning the League and the third Champions Cup in the team’s history. Captain on and off the field, he is the leader of a generation that is rising with the desire to mark an era.
Several of his teammates from last season, including him, will be part of Rafa Márquez’s new Barça B. However, the reserve team’s preseason will start next July 15. As for Casadó, being from 2003, his youth period has already ended. In his case, he has not yet debuted with the second teambut in April he already made the call from Xavi to train with the first team, together with Álex Valle, on the eve of the league match against Betis at the Benito Villamarín.
Casadó, who formed CF Vilamajor and played for Sant Celoni, Granollers and Damm before joining the Barca youth team in 2016, is a defensive pivot. Hardworking, he does very well in recovering possession after losing the ball and with very good ball handling.. It also stands out for its regularity, its intensity on the green.
