Appears to have not gotten of the bench in a 3-0 win for Barca B. https://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/barca-b/news/2018-2019/ontinyent-0-3-barca-b-great-away-win

To those who've seen him play a bunch, is his style closer to Akale, Pulisic, or Weah? No matter the answer, those highlights are impressive! Not only that, but those are full game highlights, and almost every clip is Konrad killin' doodz. I'm eager to see what he can do at a higher level, like Barca B.

I'm sure others have seen him play more than I have. Of those 3, I think Pulisic is the closest. He likes to dribble at defenders at pace, driving to the byline more often than cutting inside but comfortable with both. Right foot dominant but crosses and shoots well with the left. Tricky when he needs to be but always in the service of getting closer to the goal. Reminds me a lot of Jadon Sancho, hopefully he can turn out as well.

They are looking to get him the ball on the right so he can go 1v1. Inter are making sure they bring an extra defender when he gets it though.
Hoping he starts transitioning to the B team soon, although it’s not like he’s been in Juvenile A for that long.
Kid is getting noticed. Maybe not many have heard about him, but this is Konrad Jr.He is a 17 year old winger playing for Barça Juvenil A.He has also been on fire lately, scoring and assisting.But besides stats, he's a skillful and intelligent winger with a great personality.One of my favorites. pic.twitter.com/XGVMaXUIOz— Parker (@Robertonical) October 24, 2018
Thought I'd shovel a little more coal into this locomotive. An article we missed from back in September. A lot of interesting tidbits: American Express Konrad de la Fuente: Forget Christian Pulisic, this Barcelona starlet could be the future of US football https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/7306542/konrad-de-la-fuente-barcelona-boy-wonder/

Which would you prefer in the interim? - starring for Juvenil A - riding pine for Barcelona B I think for me I'd select option 2 because it would represent a progression of his career, he'd be among more men, and would just need a literal break or two for a great opportunity. At Juvenil A he'd just be doing more of the same.
