FC BARCELONA

The Talavera returned to training yesterday with the first team, but Eusebio still does not give ball at Barca B.

Javier Espinosa began the season excited about his new career at Barça B. From the juvenil, came to the Second Division with Rosell, Balliu and Gustavo. Of these, only Balliu is appearing regularly in the reserves after hatching in the first team.

Rosell and 'Guga' seem not to have to Eusebio Sacristán, since their participation is anecdotal. Not so for Javier Espinosa, with whom the coach has told Valladolid, although much less than expected. Moreover, in the latter half of season, his presence has even fallen. In the first 18 games he played a total of 587 minutes, while in the last 17 sum 365, a figure too low for a midfielder who fits perfectly in the Blaugrana game plan. Their presence is reduced to only 47 minutes in the last four games.

Eusebio and the footballer have spoken on occasion throughout the season, much more at first than in recent weeks. The coach always asked patience and keep working, even though the trust did not translate into minutes. Carmona and especially Riverola, have passed in front. Espinosa returned yesterday to train with the first team, something he has repeated several times this season, but his presence does not guarantee the greatest part of the eleven elected by Eusebio Sacristán. So much so that of Talavera de la Reina has started just nine of the 26 parties that participated in this season.

In addition, it has only finished two, so it has twice played the ninety minutes. And in both cases the result could not be better: the blaugrana thrashed 0-4 in Cartagena (September 4) and 1-4 in Alcoy (October 22). Of that ages ago. Other data exemplify how little account Eusebio: six of the 26 times he has played he has done less than ten minutes, while in another 17 it has less than 35 minutes. There are numbers to be happy, although Espinosa also under contract next season. Has been international sub 17 and sub 19 and from the first team to take care of it, although it does not translate into a greater presence at Barça B. (via SPORT)

Not only is manchego, interior, has white skin and culé as Iniesta. It is also dedicated to 'wines'.

like wine. Rather, like the wine culture. In fact, proves little. And not just because he is a footballer and play for Barça B. But that has not prevented him to create a company dedicated to those 'wines' next to his brother Koke.

Javier Espinosa has said it has many parallels with Andres Iniesta both play at Barça, they do inside, have a privileged technique and a dynamic vision of the game and both are Mancha (Javier, Talavera de la Reina, Andres, Fuentealbilla). As if that were not enough, and share a fair complexion, the two are passionate about wine culture. While the hero of Stamford Bridge has created his own label, Espinosa has joined with his brother Koke and have done with the exclusivity of lugardelvino.com website for the province of Toledo. The older brother, who is 29, explains that "we are dedicated to small wineries, of great quality, with limited editions."

So far, only dedicated to the distribution and marketing products of high quality, rare in the market. No rule to step up later, since the family is an interesting project in the short, medium and long term. Although Barca B midfielder can not monitor the developments of the company, is a day of everything. His brother is the one who introduced gradually, in the culture of wine. Although he prefers to delegate Koke, since it is focused on continuing to grow as a player in the subsidiary Blaugrana. Last year was young and this season is having an irregular participation in Barca B, but, like good wine matures slowly. (via SPORT)
