García Pimienta tells Barcelona to bet on youth

Barcelona B coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta has been talking about the club’s young players and feels the club needs to trust in their young stars.

Youngsters such as Oscar Mingueza and Ronald Araujo have made the step up to the first team this season and featured regularly under Ronald Koeman.

García Pimienta has urged his club to believe in youth and give the youngsters a chance.
