Here we are 5 games into the season and the FC Barcelona U9 team is undefeated and untied upon shutting out 4 of 5 opponents. We have a bunch of newbies [rookies] that are working with the more experienced players and they are becoming better players a lot faster because of it. So far U9 has beaten Arsenal; 3-1, FCBM; 4-0, Roma; 4-0, Manchester City; 3-0, and AC Milan; 3-0. We have only given up 1 goal the whole season and that was in the first game versus Arsenal. Interestingly enough FC Barcelona beat Arsenal in Champions League that same week; 3-1.
These players are passing the ball, hustling, playing tenacious defense and unselfish offense. That is the difference maker between U9 and U11. The FCB U11 team has a bunch of stars but they do not always hustle or play aggressively like the U9 team does and it has cost them potentially a playoff spot. The U9 team is in first place and will be guaranteed a playoff spot if they continue to win.
