Relying on that canteranos already there and the four amounting, in the 2012-2013 staff have 17 players from the cantera.

Barça to the sporting and Pep Guardiola being designed for the 2012-2013 season, whether or not Santpedor coach will have a Catalan accent. The promotions of four to five team players complete one of the templates more canteranas of history. Should go back to the 1995-1996 campaign, with Johan Cruyff on the bench, to find a similar percentage to the current. Then the 'skinny' came to have 20 home (66.6%) in a costume that was enlarged to 30. Frank Rijkaard, in 2005-2006, turned to 17 players formed at the lower (56.6%) out of 30 also. Depending on the casualties and considering that not a lover of long templates, Pep would have 17 players out of 25, which could approach 70%, no less than three quarters of a team which will be branded 'La Masia'.

Four of the B contract will go to the first team. They are Martín Montoya, Marc Bartra and Marc Muniesa, three defenders, and Jonathan dos Santos, a medium that will bend positions and Pep debuted. They could join Cristian Tello. The winger is causing a good impression on his breakthrough with the elderly. Have sufficed seven games, two starts, four goals and one assist to show that it gives rise vertigo.

The case is also Oier on the table, but would like Champions letter. Pep takes time mulling over the need to have three goalkeepers. Renovated Pinto and Valdés of the regular missing a third. Watched last season to sign one, even negotiated with Andrada (Lanus), but the budget will go this time reinforcements to other positions. Oier would go up and come down.

This landing will add to that produced this year with Cesc, Fontàs, Cuenca and Thiago and base of the team that has won everything: Valdés, Xavi, Puyol, Busquets, Iniesta, Messi, Pique and Pedro. The dream of a 'eleven' home is getting closer.

With Pep at the helm, the company is more than likely. At its premiere, in 2008-2009, had a staff of 21 players, 10 of them from home. In 2009-10 were 9, 20. In the next, 2010-11, had one more, 10, 20 and the current are 11, 21. (via MD)

In the 2012-2013 season can be consummated the most coveted of Barça dream: a 'eleven' with players from home.

The next season may be the ultimate sublimation of the quarry. Pep Guardiola is planning to raise between four and five team players to the first team 'Jonathan Dos Santos, Marc Muniesa, Martin Montoya and Marc Bartra are confirmed and practically also the goalkeeper Oier Olazabal', which must be added that the three joined this season 'AndreuFontàs, Thiago Alcántara and Isaac Cuenca' and the possible incorporation of more than Cristian Tello.

That means, in the vernacular, which in just over two years would have 'risen' to the first team to a total of nine homegrown, that really would be ten, as one of the signings of the season also was another football player base that once went to succeed at Arsenal, Cesc Fàbregas. So in two years, Barcelona has reinforced and strengthened and will end with a total of ten players in the house.

This bet as strong and cohesive in the cantera is signed entirely recognizable Pep Guardiola. A coach from the first day I took over the ship blaugrana already brought two of their personal stakes had succeeded him at third with the subsidiary: Sergio Busquets and Pedro Rodríguez.

Thus, by numbers, it could for the next season the number of home-grown players were to be 18 players' a figure more than relevant if we consider that Pep likes short squad handled no more of 23 players. "So next season almost 80% of the workforce could be a product of La Masia.

Clearly, at such a barrage of team players to the first team a member of the current squad will have to pack. In any case, the outputs will never be traumatic. Nor is it possible that a player receives an offer draft and seeks to improve economically important as it did in his day the Ivorian Touré Yaya.

Sports the vice president, Josep Maria Bartomeu, as announced in an exclusive interview published on Saturday SPORT there being no transfer layer, but admitted to being attentive to the market and the needs of the team.

What is clear is that the commitment of the quarry by the ministry is giving Barcelona a delicious fruit. (via SPORT)

SPORT has had access to the new uniform, exclusively, presents it to his readers that, along with the fans, can get an idea of ​​how the team will wear next season Pep Guardiola. This is a revolutionary design in which the main new feature is the amazing blurred.

As usual in recent years, late last and early this year approved the new kit of FC Barcelona. The sports firm Nike presented its proposal to the board, which approved the absence of their occurrence final details such as location of the 'senyera' or reading 'som more than a club', among others.

The T-shirt that will play Barça from next season will be talking about because it is a kit to use. Defined lines disappear and the blue vertical columns and great feature on all shirts, and passed to a blue background on which stands a red vertical pillar as it expands from the center of the web is becoming blurred. Never, until now, Barça had accepted this challenge, but from the academic year 2012-2013 the team for wearing a T-shirt will highlight different and modern.

The trim on the collar and the sleeves are orange and the logo of Unicef, as now, remain below the dorsal. Also remains in the same place as now the name of the sponsor, Qatar Foundation, the signature Nike logo and emblem of the club, as well as leading from the January 12 as the defending world champion title won in Yokohama after beating the Saints (4-0).

The away kit will be orange, like the one used by the team during the 2006-2007 season with Frank Rijkaard as coach. This shade was chosen for the first time the 1991-1992 season, and orange, Barça won its first European Cup at Wembley after beating Sampdoria in the extension. This time, however, also orange blur, but unlike the first kit, the gradient will go from top to bottom. Ie, neck, shoulders and chest are of a deep orange to almost yellow pass to the waist. Barca is the detail on the sides, with a line on each side bicolor.

There will be changes in tracksuits, touring and training, and training clothes. SPORT, also had access to new designs and presents them in these pages. Particularly noteworthy are the tracksuits, that rescue garish colors (fluorescent) in other seasons and did so well accepted among the Barça fans.

With these new designs FC Barcelona takes a solid step forward and, surely, their example will be followed by others. A bold bid is expected to be embraced by millions of fans and amateur counts in the club on the planet.

The gradients on the shirt were already in the second gear of the team in the 2004-2005 season, in a blue shirt with vertical stripes that were blurred. And he had a great success. (via SPORT)

Coaching staff seek to bring someone with future potential to invigorate competition in goal.

The first team of Barca 2012-2013 will have three goalkeepers. Mundo Deportivo has been reporting that the intent of the technical team to face Barca next season is somewhat different compared to previous campaigns, since the departure of Albert Jorquera left Victor Valdes and Juan Manuel Pinto as official gatekeepers.

Clearly, two weeks before turning 30 years, Victor Valdes has great reference as the goal of the Camp Nou and that its experience and its place in the group dynamics, Jose Manuel Pinto will continue for another season keeping you shoulders because the same goalkeeper made ​​36 years gave their renewal shortly before enjoying their Christmas holidays.

The big news regarding the planning of Barca in terms of goal is the willingness to incorporate a new goalkeeper to gather some very specific virtues: first, obviously, a quality to match Barca, the second, his adaptability to the peculiar style of the team, and the third projection of their youth and dynamism to competitiveness. It never hurts to have more than one alternate, with a goalkeeper with real future potential to be a starter one day.

Incorporating this would not disrupt young goalkeeper as has happened from time to time the daily activity of the subsidiary, to recruit some of their porters occasionally. (via MD)
