One of the FC Barcelona players who is currently living through some unforgettable moments is the youngster Noah Darvich. The 17-year-old won the U-17 World Cup with Germany last week, beating France in the final on penalties, after the match was drawn 2-2, with Darvich scoring one of the goals.
The midfielder had a highly impressive tournament overall, as he scored two goals, gave four assists, and was one of the stand-out performers. On Monday, Darvich presented the title at a ceremony in Frankfurt and is now expected to rejoin his club.
According to SPORT, he is going to report for club duties at Ciutat Esportiva tomorrow, on Wednesday, and will probably undertake some recovery work before going into training with the rest of his teammates.
The German is still in a phase of adaptation at the Catalan club after he arrived in Barcelona last August. He is facing a new situation at his new club, as he is still a substitute in the Barcelona reserve team, while he was the reference both at his previous club Freiburg, and also at the German youth level teams.
The youngster is still getting adapted at Barcelona, and one of the key areas that the club is working on is to improve his positional game to make him more of an interior midfielder. Normally, Darvich thrives while playing as a second striker, having a free role in the attacking end of the pitch.
Barcelona are taking a patient route with him, and are working on a day-to-day basis to help him improve. The youngster has all the ingredients to adapt quickly at Barcelona, as he could already speak Spanish when he joined the Catalan club, and the club technicians also highlight that he has a clear head.
Currently, Darvich is competing with other established players like Aleix Garrido and Moha Moukhliss in the reserve team. But he has already become a starter with Juvenil A in the Youth League, where he already has opened his scoring account.
He has also been called up by Xavi to train with the first team several times, and his latest accomplishments only go on to cement the club’s trust in his abilities to grow and develop further in the coming seasons.
