Hucknall Ram Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 At just 7 years old British schoolboy Kai Fifield has been given an opportunity most boys his age could only dream of – a trial with Barcelona. It all began with a simple kick about with a group of boys while on holiday with his father in the Catalan city. The Northamptonshire Barça fan, who had been visiting the Camp Nou Stadium with his father, joined an impromptu five-a-side game with some local youngsters on a pitch near the stadium grounds when he was unexpectedly scouted by Barcelona youth coaches. Little did he know, Fifield had in fact been knocking a ball about with Spanish schoolboys who were hoping to be spotted for a trial with the club’s youth side. Not only that, the left-winger had hugely impressed with his skill and passion for the game. Due to fly home that day, the father-son duo were stunned when the coaches took them aside and invited Fifield for a trial at Barcelona’s Escola academy. Unwilling to turn down an opportunity of a lifetime, Fifield and his father rescheduled their flights and made the decision to extend their stay in Barcelona so that Fifield could attend the potentially life-changing trial. Proud father, Delaney explains: “Kai is a big Barcelona and Lionel Messi fan, he even said he'd play for them one day. He worked out that by the time Messi retires he'd be old enough to take his place. "You don't get a chance like this every day and it has come our way by complete chance.” Although one Barca coach described Fifield’s performance as “very, very good,” he must now wait for news from the continent before he can properly start dreaming about stepping into the shoes of his favourite players and playing for his beloved Barcelona. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/8620137/Barcelona-invite-seven-year-old-British-schoolboy-Kai-Fifield-to-youth-academy-trial.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

james_ram Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Strict coaches, **** childhood, regimented, constantly abiding by rules, playing football all day, and worst of all, would gain Spanish nationality and want to play for Spain instead of England.

He'd have a better up-bringing with Barca than any other English club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Becuase he might learn how to play football rather than be a good athlete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 How so? :confused: He'll get taught how to behave, how to make friends with other footballers, how to handle the media, learn other languages, live in a warmer climate, learn how to live with money etc... All our footballers are complete turds, and that's because they grew up in this country of complete turds. English academies teach you nothing but how to pass and run around a lot. We're very good at that. But they don't teach the kids the technical stuff - not properly, anyway. Notice how the Spanish team are all pally and have a genuine laugh together? That's because they like each other. When was the last time you saw Wayne Rooney pull a prank on Leighton Baines? The English football team is littered with mugs, the Spanish team is not. What does that tell you about their football culture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
