Chadi Riad ball at your feet<\/p>\n

\n

Chadi Riad, FC Barcelona’s new nugget, is Chadi Riad. The 19-year old central defender (1m87) was bottled at La Masia. This renowned training centre of the Catalan club is where he was born. This natural left-hander was born in Spain and plays for Morocco’s U20s.<\/p>\n

Chadi Riad, who was not retained by Mallorca where he started his training, left his bundle at La Masia when he turned 16. He was first a member of the U17 B team, before being loaned out to Sabadell. His performances with the reserve of this club open the doors to the professional team and the Segunda Divisi\u00f3n A.<\/p>\n

Back from this loan, Chadi Riad joins Bar\u00e7a’s Juvenil U19 A team. He is an indispensable starter and contributes to the success his team, which was crowned champion and won the Youth Champions Cup in their respective categories.<\/p>\n

With these service records, Chadi Riad sees Barcelona Atl\u00e8tic (FC Barcelona’s reserve team) open up before him, led by the former defender of the pro team, Rafael Marquez<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“A very powerful defender, great in anticipation <\/em><\/h3>\n

This is a glowing endorsement of the Moroccan. \u201cI have a lot of talented players. Chadi Riad is an example.<\/em>The former Mexican international is quoted.He is a stopper of high quality and good ball control. He is young but has a lot of experience and is mature. He is a leader in the pitch<\/em>.<\/em>\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n

Coveted during the last transfer window, Chadi Riad decides to extend at Bar\u00e7a until 2024. As a reward, Xavi Hernandez, the blugrana coach integrates him into the professional team during summer preparation. According to Footmercato<\/em>Xavi was impressed by the character and quality of his recovery, and he wrote an article dedicating it to the Lion Cub of the Atlas.<\/p>\n

FC Barcelona almost loaned the player out, but they decided to keep their nugget. Which is described \u201cas a very powerful defender, good in anticipation and whose main strengths are the aerial game and its positioning\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n
