Man who nurtured Messi, Xavi and Iniesta into world beaters at Barcelona heads
to Dubai club
With three of their players shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or (the World Player
of the Year) in Zurich recently, Barcelona decided it was time to enjoy the
moment.
Barcelona players being nominated for football's top individual honours is
nothing new, but they usually travel with a friend, wife or agent to accept
the award.
This time, Barca booked a private plane for the people who had been most
important to the success of the three players - Lionel Messi, Xavi and
Andres Iniesta.
Pep Guardiola travelled with his players along with Sandro Rosell, the club
president. As a measure of the esteem in which he is held by the players he
helped develop, Albert Benaiges was also invited.
Although not a household name outside Spain, the 50-year-old had a key
position at Camp Nou, that of technical director of the club's famed youth
system. Benaiges was vital to the progression of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta, Gerard
Pique, Carlos Puyol, and many more.
There cannot be a higher accolade for any youth coach than seeing three of
his former players voted first, second and third in world football.
Benaiges is often asked what potential talents he recognised in the
13-year-old Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.
"I saw different things in all of them," he said. "They were all excellent.
Iniesta was elegant, intelligent and could beat a player one on one.
"Xavi's control of the ball is better than anyone I've seen in youth football.
"Messi? His imagination and speed running at goal. He's the best player in the
world without doubt, as good as Pele or [the Barca legend Laszlo] Kubala."
The ability of Benaiges to spot a young player has become the stuff of local
legend. After just 30 minutes of seeing the 10-year-old Pique play, he signed
him for Barca, impressed by the young defender's vision, touch and discipline,
plus the fact that he was a Barca fan who understood what the club was about.
Once with Barca, Pique began his real football education that would take him
to the top of the game.
Benaiges has always maintained that Barca have not been lucky like some rivals
have claimed, but their success in developing players owed everything to a
model honed over the years.
Many people contributed to this process, providing specialist skills and all
working in the same direction, with the same objective: to prepare players
for the first team.
Unearthing and developing emerging talent will be the cornerstone of
Benaiges's work when he starts at Pro League club Al Wasl in July.
News of his departure was met by raised eyebrows in Catalonia, but he will
join fellow Spaniard Francisco Yeste at the Dubai club, where his role will
be to oversee the club's youth system and structure of the coaching
programmes.
"I hope to transfer the La Masia philosophy and the way we work to here,"
Benaiges said.
"Barca's success has been fundamental in making them [Wasl] interested in me.
This is a very interesting sporting challenge at a club that has some
excellent facilities."
He goes with Barca's best wishes and has a job waiting back at the club when
his contract comes to an end.
Benaiges joined Barca in 1990 when Johan Cruyff was in charge at Camp Nou and
has worked at the club in two spells - always with the youth sides. He was
renowned for allowing ability to flourish. In one season, he let Messi play
for five different age group teams at Barca.
"Messi was a kid to whom you could say: 'Look, there's the ball, let's play
a match'," Benaiges said.
"
He just loved playing football. He didn't mind what level he played at, he
just wanted the ball at his feet. Some kids play in the A team, but when you
ask them to play for the B team they pull a face. With Messi, he always gave
everything and he was always the best."
Fundamental to Benaiges's success has been building the character of the young
players. Egos are kept firmly in check by the calm and focused Benaiges, pushy
parents encouraged to keep their distance.
Recently, the father of a 12-year-old from Messi's hometown of Rosario was
given short shrift from Benaiges after demanding too much money from Barca.
The father had been leaking information to the Argentina media. Communication
through the media is not Barca's style when it comes to youth players.
The famed Masia (a converted 17th-century farmhouse) where the young players
live, will soon close and the potential stars of the future will follow the
first team to the new training ground on the outskirts of Barcelona.
With
that, a chapter in Barca's history will close.
Having achieved the highest standards and with La Masia closing, it is perhaps
an appropriate time for Benaiges to seek fresh pastures, but his contribution
to Barca will never be forgotten, not least by his former pupils.
"
When I play, I pass and move," Xavi said.
"I look for a player, I stop, I raise my head. I open up the pitch. The one
who has the ball is the master of the game.
"That was the philosophy of Johan Cruyff, what I tried to follow from Pep
Guardiola. That was the school of Albert Benaiges."
