http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 president, Sandro Rosell, has revealed that Tito Vilanova will return in less than three weeks time after he was treated with cancer
Vilanova has undergone surgery last week after he suffered a relapse of the tumour that was removed before.
Stability was maintained in the club as his assistant, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jordi-c19110 Roura, filled the vacuum he left behind.
The club has maintained and reassured everyone that Tito is the man who is the coach of this club despite his condition and that soon he will return.
Rosell said all that matters at the moment is the full recovery and health of their coach.
“Within two or three weeks he will be back, but he must go to the hospital and have a few days’ rest. He will mix the treatment with work. The important thing is his health, currently, football is secondary.”
The Barca president then turned his attention on the academy of the club. He talked about its history and what the academy was able to produce since its inception more than three decades ago.
Rosell described the achievement of their academy as something historic and a dream come true.
“33 years ago we created an academy for young talents. Recently, for the first time in our history, we played with a team composed exclusively of players trained in our cantera. It was a historic day, a dream come true.”
The 48-year-old concluded his remarks on the philosophy Barcelona stands for. He stated that his academy values education and also they try to teach their youngsters the value of being a Barcelonista.
“Our goal is to train people, it is important that they are educated. Barcelona teaches a culture, and of course, to be ambitious. If one of our guys is not doing well at school, he won’t play.”
The Catalans have performed exceptionally well this season in all fronts. They have advanced to the last-16 of the Champions League.
On the domestic side, the Blaugrana are still undefeated in the Primera Division. They are currently on top of the table and 16 points above their arch-rivals, Real Madrid.
