According to Mundo Deportivo, there are several factors that have caused the current conflict between Juvenil A coach Victor Valdes and the La Masia boss Patrick Kluivert. Here’s what the source highlights:
- The ex-goalkeeper refuses to use players like Illaix Moriba, in whom the club have invested big money to keep at the club.
- Victor doesn’t want to let his players leave for Barca B and schedules training at an earlier time, which makes some of the players skip school.
- Valdes insists that he will use the squad he thinks is the best and not what the club is telling him to.
- Also, Victor refuses to use players from Barca B in Youth Champions League matches as he wants to only rely on his players.
- The officials want the coach to use a 4-3-3 formation while he has been lately using a 4-4-2.
- The 37-year-old allegedly paints a bad image of the club by ignoring interviews, not going to club dinners, refusing to play third-place matches.
According to reports from Diario Sports, Valdes was seen at the club’s facilities on Saturday, October 5 collecting his belongings from the locker room. The same source adds that Victor will most likely be sacked on Monday, October 7.
