Who introduced the La Masia Academy

La Masia Football School was founded in 1979 and is located on the left side of Via Aristides in Barcelona. At that time, the pitch was very rudimentary, all artificial turf, and Barça's four age echelon youth teams shared a crowded training space. However, despite La Masia's poor conditions, Dutchman Cruyff brought the most advanced football ideas in the world.

In 1989, under the personal auspices of then-head coach Cruyff, FC Barcelona established the "La Masia Academy". In the past 30 years, there have been seven generations, a total of 503 players have come out of La Masia, including superstars such as Pep Guardiola, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, etc., this academy is also known as the "West Point" of football because of the high success rate of cultivating talents.

When you learn that Pep Guardiola, Puyol, Xavi, Messi, Andres Iniesta, Pique, Reina, Luis Garcia, Dos Santos and Bojan all started here, you have to be wary that in the past people called the Ajax Academy the "West Point" of European football, now it's Barça's turn to go through the Academy. Arsene Wenger may have been proud that he was able to dig up a treasure like Cesc Fabregas from La Masia, but behind the pride there is a chill. One Fabregas is not all of La Masia, it may be only one in 10,000.

Arsene Wenger sighed: When will Arsenal have an academy like La Masia? Cruyff replicates the Ajax model!

Barcelona is known as the "dream team" of European football, and the Barcelona first team currently has nine players from La Masia Football Academy, in addition to Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, Liverpool's Reina and other stars have also come out of La Masia. These resounding names have cast a veil of mystery over La Masia's past and present at the Barça youth football school located next to the Camp Nou.

To be precise, Barcelona have copied the philosophy of the Ajax Academy. As we all know, the Ajax Academy is the star factory of world football, and has produced world superstars such as Rensenbrink, Neeskens, Van Basten, Rijkaard, Bergkamp, Seedorf, Davies and Kluivert, and Cruyff himself is the eternal pride of Ajax. Since his move to Barcelona and taking charge of the Barcelona first team in the 90s of the last century, Cruyff has left Barcelona two precious treasures - the Barcelona "Dream Team" and the La Masia Football School

La Masia Film and Television Academy is located in the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain, close to the famous Grand Theater ——— Camp Nou Theater, and is also the largest labor output for the Camp Nou Theater. Founded in 1988, the college has witnessed the development of Laying from a private training institution to the largest film and television star training base in Europe, known as the "Hollywood of Europa"! Cruyff, the former principal of the school, is an internationally renowned director, known as the troika of 20th-century cinema along with Spielberg and James Cameron.

After entering the 21st century, the college has been fruitful, with many young students winning the Oscar, and at the same time creating a large number of film and television teaching materials for the teaching of the film and television drama colleges of colleges and universities, including the film and television performance textbook "An Actor's Self-cultivation", which is recognized in the universe. The college covers an area of 200 acres, with a total of more than 150 students at all stages, more than 30 full-time professors and more than 20 visiting professors, including previous Oscar winners Xavi and Iniesta, as well as new generation film and television superstars Pedro and Busquets.

The college has trained more than 10,000 graduates majoring in film technology, art, management, theory and other majors. In particular, the graduates trained by the godfather Cruyff in the 40 years have grown into the backbone of the Catalan film industry, and they have made a great contribution to the Catalan film industry. They have created and shot countless excellent films, with unique styles and outstanding achievements, which have attracted wide attention from the international film and cultural circles.

The films made by the outstanding graduates of the Academy have won awards in major international film circles, which has made the international film industry pay more attention to the role of Catalan cinema in the international arena, and La Masia Film and Television Institute has won great honors for Catalan cinema.

Xavi, Iniesta, Pique, Pep Guardiola, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Valdés, Puyol, Boyang, etc., they are all from La Masia's military training guidance, and they are all very good football players.

Valdés, Andres Iniesta, Busquez, Cesc Fabregas, Messi, Xavi, Boyang, Pep Guardiola, etc.

These athletes are, Valdés, Icardi, Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Pep Guardiola, Puyol.

Xavi, Andres Iniesta, Pique, Pep Guardiola, Puyol, Cesc Fabregas, these are all from the La Masia Academy.

Mauro Icardi, Messi, Pique, Cesc Fabregas, Pep Guardiola, these people all came out of here, and they are all very strong.

After passing the professional scouting process, La Masia selects 120 children to take part in a free one-week test at the training center, and then selects 50 children to train for the future. The young players who can come here are all elites who have passed layers of screening, and every link of the selection of players has strict rules and regulations, records and supervision.

La Masia's scouts don't care too much about how fast the young players can run, how powerful they are, or how tall they are. The only criterion is how well the young players can perform when they are combined with the ball.

La Masia's youth system has a distinctly regional character in terms of selection, with the selection of players in the following order: first in Barcelona, then in Catalonia, then in Spain and finally worldwide (mainly Brazil, Abrigenting and Cameroon).

When you understand that players such as Puyol, Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Pique, Sergio Busquets, Reina, Luis Garcia, dos Santos, Bojan, Cesc Fabregas and others all started here, you have to pay attention. You will get to know Barça's academy "La Masia".

Arsenal have been saddened by Cesc Fabregas' departure. But a Cesc Fabregas is not the whole story of La Masia's academy results. Arsenal fans sighed: When will Arsenal have an academy like La Masipavia?

After the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, Barcelona was called the "dream team" of football, and the Barcelona first team currently has nine players from La Masia Football School, in addition to Napoli's Reina and other stars also coming out of La Masia. These resounding names have cast a veil of mystery over the La Chun Pei Macia Football School, which is located next to the Camp Nou stadium, what is the past and present life of the Barcelona Football School?

Walking through the city of Barcelona, you will find a large farm-like compound called La Masia, which is the youth training base of Barcelona FC and one of the best football academies in the world. Step inside and ask for a cup of coffee in the bar room, whether you're a tourist, a journalist or a parent with a kid you'll feel like a family member. It's no surprise that La Masia's name means farm in Catalan, and the academy is reminiscent of Milanello, the training base of European giants AC Milan.

Both sites are intimate, with an environment and atmosphere like a café or tavern next to your house, where young people gather to chat about a variety of topics in their spare time. However, La Masia is so different again, Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Valdés, Pique, Pedro ......If the range of players is expanded a little more, with the addition of Bayern Munich's Reina, Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas, Arsenal captain Mikel Arteta, etc., they can almost form a very competitive "La Masia team". So, what secrets is hidden in this new "West Point" in football, so that over the years one football figure after another has come out of it and branded it with a distinct La Masia imprint?
