Patrick Kluivert returned to Barcelona in July, assuming directing roles at a children`s and teen school. The former Dutch striker spoke about La Masia in an interview in March. om. The boys in La Masia have the best training base in the world. A boy who leaves for money does not respect Barcelona. For him, there are more steps to professional football that he must make by the age of 18. We help football players grow not only as players but also as personalities, he said.
When Barca decide they don't need a player, that doesn`t mean his dream is over. He may have ended things at the club, but he can move on. He can take the next step.
'I don`t know why it`s so difficult for any of these players to return. In Barcelona, the level is very high!', the former goalkeeper thinks.
'A lot of things have been said about Victor Valdes. This is a negative page for us, it is for everyone. I prefer to say nothing!', said Kluivert.
'Riqui Puig, Carles Puyol, all the players who made it to the first team are very good. But if there is no place for them, I think it is better to play somewhere on loan and then come back stronger. That`s my point of view!', he revealed.
'Ansu Fati is 17 years old, very young, and has a great class. He already plays in important matches. If he doesn`t find a place in the first team, then he can play for the second team. This will have the necessary rhythm when needed on the first team. Ansu stays in Barcelona, that`s for sure. Neymar won`t come. We have Ansu. Ansu is here and Neymar is in Paris.', Kluivert said.
