Sport 西文原文: http://bit.ly/fhxvt8 TotalBarca 英文翻譯: http://bit.ly/hfs1Oq 中文簡譯 (詳情請見原文) : 剛被 Guardiola 送回 B 隊的 Thiago 和弟弟 Rafinha 在職業生涯中 首度並肩作戰。 Thiago 本季剩餘的時間將在 B 隊出賽，以獲取更多上場時間和表現機會。 他有可能成為下一季球隊固定輪替陣容當中的一員。 由於其他球員的傷病 (Romeu, Victor Vazquez...) 而得到升上 B 隊機會的 Rafinha，將和 Jonathan Dos Santos 爭奪在 B 隊中場固定先發的機會。 和其他球員相比，慣用左腳是 Rafinha 的優勢。 另外，JDS 有可能在今夏以三百萬歐元左右的價碼被出售。 ------ Alcantara brothers finally crossed paths Posted at: 19:38 on Friday, January 21, 2011 Category: Youth Written by: buj This is an edited and translated article from ‘Sport.es’. The original can be found here. As FC Barcelona was travelling to Seville to face Real Betis on Wednesday, the inexhaustible factory of talents of the Ciutat Esportivo never stops working. Its junior counterpart, Barca B, held a new day of training that saw the ‘emotional reunion’ of two players who aim for something a lot better than their current squad. Two brothers who were finally united in the same team, at least until this June: Thiago and Rafael Alcantara. The older of the two, at 19, returned to the squad after a three month escapade playing and training under the orders of Pep Guardiola. And as a reward, Thiago is set for a permanent place in the first team next season. With the recent inclusion of Ibrahim Afellay and the absence of injuries in the first team, Pep Guardiola decided it was better for him to get playing time with Barca B for the time being. Thiago’s return to the squad is the first time the Alcantara brothers crossed paths in the same team. Up to the date, the two had only infrequently ‘met’ when Rafinha was invited to the first team’s training sessions. They seldom had any opportunities to train together and now they will probably get do it until May. Rafinha or better known as Rafa has been the solution found by Luis Enrique due to the injuries suffered by Barca B midfielders. He made his debut against Girona and got his first start against Salamanca, scoring a goal and assisted in another. He turned out to be a superb winter transfer ‘signing’ for the team. His call-up becomes even more necessary after regular players in his position are out for a length of time such as Carlos Carmona, who will be out for approximately two months after going under the knife for a left knee meniscus injury. His absence means he joins Oriol Romeu and Sergi Romero, on the long-term injured list. This clears the way for Rafa or, the name he used on his jersey in the match against Salamanca: Rafinha. He chose the same name he used when he once played indoor soccer in Vigo, where he grew up. Thiago and Rafinha enjoyed their first joint training session on Saturday and hoped to play together against Rayo Vallecano this weekend. Ilie seems to have made the defensive midfielder position his own, and Thiago is expected to take one of the central midfield spot. Jonathan dos Santos and Rafa will be competing for the other spot in the middle of the park. The advantage the younger Alcantara has is the fact that he is the only left-footed midfielder in the team. The other option though would be Victor Vazquez, who is set to be given a medical discharge and is training well. --
