- RONALDINHO' SON SHOCKED EVERYONE at BARCELONA' TRAINING! What happened and how good is Joao Mendes?
Ronaldinho's son recently trained with Barcelona’s first team!
Here's João Mendes’ duel against Inigo Martinez - the defender's face is tense, because he's facing the son of the legendary Ronaldinho.
And then there's João vs Marcos Alonso - Ronaldinho Jr. has the ball in both situations, dominating his opponent!
Is it possible that the son of the Barcelona legend has made a progress so rapid, he is ALREADY allowed to train with the main roster?
Joao is now 19 years old and he has been under contract with Barcelona for more than a year - the guy has received quite high compliments and praise for obvious reasons. That said, the top talent has been off the radar since signing the contract last February and there was very little information available about him. Luckily, we did manage to make a video for our subscribers, which we will also leave a link to!
Throughout the year, Ronnie Jr. tried to find his place at Barcelona squad - he was an 18-year-old beast who was supposed to make a name for himself in the football world, but instead his development stalled and thus he first played in the Juvenil B team, but later earned a promotion to the Juvenil A. Juvenil A is La Masia's graduation team, which brings together the most talented U19 players from the club system. In other words, we will soon be able to congratulate João on another graduation in his life!
So, it was with Juvenil A that Ronaldinho's son was invited for a training session with the first team, as reported by the Catalans’ popular Twitter accounts, which added that Xavi was monitoring the boy closely.
"At 19 years old, the son of the Brazilian star currently dazzles with his dribbling at Barça's Juvenil B and earned the chance to train under the guidance of Xavi," the Argentine newspaper Diario Ole described the young man.
Some fans were delighted to see him in action: 'Excited to see Joao Mendes following in his fathers footsteps! Wishing him a successful journey ahead,' they wrote.
Large foreign media outlets, such as TNT Sports, also joined in: "Is there a place for the boy in Xavi's team?" the author of the post asks.
Interestingly enough, on March 21, it was Ronaldinho senior who celebrated his 44th birthday, making Joao's first training session with Barça's main men perhaps the best gift for his dad! Leave us a like if you're happy for Ronnie's son and wish the Wizard a happy birthday!
However, the reality turned out to be much harsher from the bravado about João's career breakthrough and his forthcoming debut for Barça's first team!
‘Barca first team today had a joint training session with some players from Barca Atletic and Juvenil side. Toni Fernandez, Oscar Gistau, Pocho Roman, Pau Prim, Andres Cuenca, Edu Sanchez, Brian Farinas, Tomas Marques, Alexis Olmedo, Manu Vila, Joao Mendes and few others were included’, Barca Buzz gives more details about this training session.
Indeed, EVERYONE WAS SHOCKED with Ronaldinho's son's appearance at Barcelona's main roster training session as the hype around the boy still lingers on, but we always tell our subscribers only the truth...
Espacio Masia, a specialized account dedicated to Barca Athletic and La Masia, revealed the truth about Ronaldinho Jr.'s current situation and that training session. Here is what they write:
"Let's calm things down right away:
1. Joao Mendes was not specifically at first-team training; it was the entire Juvenil A team that was training together with the first team.
2. Joao is unlikely to follow in his father Ronaldinho's footsteps.
He plays extremely little with Juvenil A. Originally a right-winger, he now plays as a left-back, coming on when it's already 3-0, for example. Unfortunately, he's not good enough, either in terms of technique or vision. He doesn't have the level of his partners.
His contract expires this summer."
Apparently, there are no plans to offer Ronaldinho's son a new contract.
Moreover, the fact that Joao got transferred to a new position implies that the Spanish club is looking for an optimal solution for the youngster, who hasn't been able to prove his worth as a right winger. On CZcams, one can find clips of him performing in the left-back position, for example, during the match versus CD San Francisco. João looked pretty confident in this role, and maybe the coaches of the Barcelona academy just pointed out the direction in which the Brazilian should develop. Look how well he executes sliding tackles! Or how easily he neutralizes the threat in this episode! He just ate his opponent! And in this clip one can only envy his equanimity! Ronnie Jr also succeeded in displaying some dribbling, good passing, not to mention a superb diagonal! - Sport

He would've been successful if he had started his career in the Belgian, Dutch, Portuguese, or French league before coming to the Spanish league.
exactly. still time tho. loan spell.
He should join Dortmund on loan
He is only one espermatozide of Dinho How Do youspect him to be better than Dinho??????
He can be loned for two years
From what I saw of him, he plays exactly like his father at the age of 44. This player does not have any football qualities.
Hahahaha
I hope when he leaves barca this summer that he makes a good career at small clubs in the beginning then he rises up in level and join more competitive clubs then come back to barça to shine there and reach his prime like what happened with his father
When he gonna play in first team? I know it’s not good to rush things and it can put pressure cuz his dad was one of the best in history and the best in his era but it hyped to his son in the first team maybe be the star just like his dad was
He's not as good as his father. Just wait and see his evolution 🧬.
❤
He needs the ronaldonho long hair tho
♥️💙♥️💙♥️💙
And fabrizio confirmed he got to train and stunned
Borussia Dortmund would be a fantastic club that could develop Joao Mendes a lot 🤙
I hope become a beast of a leftback and silent all the haters.
He's not making any waves in La Masia, Xavi just checked out his capabilities to see if he's as good as his father only reason he was brought in for training because a lot of players are away for national duty
He plays more like a cdm to me. He looks good he gets stuck in with his tackles, and I give him that 💯
But can some one explain me why when I look up for Mendez in the FC Barcelona website you can not find him in the roster for juvenil A.
Il est dans sub U19 du barça
He play RWF but what i can see is the he seems to be a midfielder the way his playing they need to test him at midfield not leftback🤦🏾♂️
What do u think about being a cdm
They just said he is not technically gifted neither has the vision like other players younger than him.... Sad but true and midfield is the most complex and difficult position in football you should be talented af to run a midfield
@@tiosanchez8337Only someone who do not understand football with 0 football iq will talk like this he is an attacking midfielder go watch cricket buddy
❤❤
you guys all hating but hes a fullback people assume he is a winger because of his dad
That's what I noticed, he isn't playing the same position
❤ 0:21
He doesn’t need to be like his dad he just have to be performant that’s all we’ve F Torres in the first team but is not best 😂
Great keep it up , we should motivate each other ❤❤
Which position thus he plays
The boy is obviously an attacking midfielder/central midfielder
omgggg
Please give us this boy to watch because we want to seen Ronaldinho again in Barcelona by his boy
Barcelona team now turn to Joao's
1st viewer
Isn't he technically Ronaldinhoinho
Ronaldinhoinhoinho
No
no one is!
Ronaldinho means litte Ronaldo in Portuguese.
@@Pol66590 yeah that's why son of ronaldinho should be Ronaldinhoinho (little Ronaldinho)
hello bro, you are using my videos without giving any credits, I don't think this is fair use?
Shut up
I can see him begin a top league fullback, not Ronaldinho but still a good player
wan bissakinho
*train shooting like CR7 boy*
Not like he's not good enough the truth is if he wants to succeed at Barcá or any other big club then he has to step up if not he can't
Football is all about opportunities no matter how talented you are if you are not giving the chance to showcase your talent, no one will give you a contract. They are hundreds of players in developing countries who are far talented than this boy but they don't have a chance to train with Barcelona. This boy is in Barcelona because of his father's fame, that is it.
Psv
Lmfao so much hate on a kid, how many players are barcelona are trash, even the ones with good talent become trash. Let him follow his dream plain and simple.
go LOAN to PARIS FC
or b-team HAVRE AC [with possible first team appearance. agreed]
or loan to FC ANTWERP
after this raw experience then do 18 months focus finishing of BarcaB #plan
u smart
@@GuysergeNGoran u smart for saying that
Ac milan
Ask Man Utd to take him on , they can gamble a Mil n they need right winger
sorry but this was not a training but a match against juvenile and not invitation for the son !!!!!
Cmon inside football.. for the first time you guys are caping 😂😂😂😂 the boy doesn’t have that level 😅😅😅😅 he hasn’t made any progrsss the last time he played for juvenile B he played as. Left full back is which he didn’t play badly .. but as an attacker? He doesn’t have that level and his training with the first team just coincide with the planned co training Barca first team had with juve A due to international break
He is not good enough for Barça
lol overrated af
