Barcelona loanee Marc Casadó has quickly made an impression on both his national team coach and fans, showcasing his talents with a standout performance in recent international matches. The 21-year-old midfielder, who idolizes Cristiano Ronaldo, has proven himself on the field with his composure, vision, and energy. His strong displays have earned him praise from Spanish national team boss Luis de la Fuente, and Casadó is now seen as a promising talent for the future of both Barcelona and Spain.
Barcelona Loanee Reveals Cristiano Ronaldo Is His Idol
Vitor Roque was among several Barcelona players who were loaned out to other clubs this past summer.
The Brazilian, who faced challenges in his first season at Barça, moved to Real Betis to secure more playing time at the top level.
Vitor Roque Looks Up to Ronaldo as His Idol
Roque recently sparked attention with his comment on El Chiringuito, where he confessed to idolizing Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Brazilian has also shared his admiration for former Barcelona star Neymar.
“My idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. I also like Neymar,” he told El Chiringuito in a recent interaction.
Given Lionel Messi’s legacy at Barcelona, it’s unusual for Barcelona players to idolize Ronaldo. However, it’s not uncommon for Brazilian players to praise him.
From a sporting perspective, Vitor Roque’s admiration for Ronaldo makes sense, as the forward admires the dynamism, speed, and productivity the Portuguese superstar is known for.
How is Roque performing at Real Betis?
After some early challenges, Roque has performed well at Real Betis and has seamlessly adapted to Manuel Pellegrini’s attacking system.
Roque’s strong performances at Real Betis are promising for FC Barcelona, who will likely look to sell the Brazilian permanently in the near future.
Real Betis have the option to re-sign the player for €25 million, a move that could help Barcelona recover some of the investment they made in the forward earlier this year.
Scoring five goals in 14 competitive matches, Vitor Roque’s future looks promising as he aims to reignite his career.
Barcelona Starlet Has Already Impressed NT Boss with His Talents
Barcelona prospect Marc Casadó has already proven himself to the Spanish national team coaches, showing he’s ready to take on a key role for his country in the coming years.
According to Mundo Deportivo, who shared details on the situation today,
Midfielder Casadó, meanwhile, has just come off a hectic week.
After receiving his first senior international call-up, the 21-year-old made his debut as a substitute against Denmark. Because of his success, he was given a starting position in the match against Switzerland on Monday, marking a significant step in his international career. This fast-paced introduction to senior international football has not only been a learning experience for the young player but also an opportunity to prove his readiness for bigger challenges ahead.
It was in the latter match that Casadó truly made a name for himself with the Spanish fans.
Exhibiting his skills from the midfield, the Barcelona academy graduate demonstrated exactly why he has been a key figure in Hansi Flick’s midfield setup this season. His ability to control the tempo of the game, combined with his vision and passing range, stood out in both defensive and attacking transitions. Throughout the match, Casadó showed his maturity in reading the game, often being in the right place at the right time to break up opposition attacks and set up his team’s offensive plays. His tactical awareness and versatility have made him an invaluable asset to Flick’s midfield, where he’s been relied upon to provide stability and fluidity.
Composed on the ball and energetic off it, Casadó delivered a performance worthy of a player far beyond his years. His calmness under pressure allowed him to dictate play, even when surrounded by opponents. Whether threading passes through tight spaces or making well-timed interceptions, he showcased a level of poise and tenacity that belied his age. Off the ball, he was relentless, pressing high when needed and tracking back to provide defensive cover. This combination of technical quality, work rate, and maturity on the field highlighted why he’s become a standout player this season, with many seeing him as one of the brightest young talents in European football.
As mentioned earlier, Luis de la Fuente and his staff certainly appreciated his performance.
As per a report from MD:
‘Casadó has convinced the coach and La Roja’s entourage. There is no debate. If he continues at this level, he will be a regular on the national team, even more so now that Rodri is not there.’
