FC Barcelona players debate the impulse of the next generation on the CUPRA Next Gen Podcast
Martorell, 01.12.2021 – In football, as in life, there are #people who are ready to revolutionise everything with their impulse. They are the dreamers, the next generation, and they’re here to mark a new era. To talk about it, FC Barcelona participates in a podcast for the first time with five of its players: it’s the CUPRA Next Gen Podcast, two special episodes of The Impulse.
In the first episode, #marcterstegen and Frenkie de Jong open-up about their passion to improve as footballers and as individuals. In the second podcast, #ansufati, #Pedri, and Eric García discuss the role of the next generation in football. Hosted by CUPRA and #Seat Global Communications director Cécilia Taieb, the CUPRA Next Gen Podcast is a collaboration with 433, one of the world’s largest sports communities on social media.
- Next Gen values. This next generation has shown that things can be done differently, with passion and an impulse for change. “We must do our best so that those who come after us can see that anything is possible, even if you’re young; if you have the will to work, you can go as far as you want” says CUPRA ambassador #ansufati. Now wearing the Number 10, Ansu also took a moment to explain what it means to him to wear such an iconic number on his jersey, and how he felt when Barça offered it to him: “It’s a source of pride.” For #Pedri, the most important thing is just to have fun: “When I get on the pitch, I leave all the pressure behind, and I just focus on enjoying the match with my teammates” he explains.
- A common impulse. All five players say their families are a main driving force behind their passion for football. #ansufati started playing when he saw how much his older brother, and role model, enjoyed it. Eric García admitted that he tried out for La Masia “just to give it a go.” He never expected to be accepted and now says he’s “grateful for this opportunity and for all the efforts my family has made for me; it’s my greatest motivation” he says.
- A dream, a challenge. Frenkie de Jong has always been a long-time Barça fan, so signing for the club was “a dream come true”. “Sometimes I arrive at the training centre, look up at the sky and then just have this moment of realizing I’m in Barcelona” the Dutchman explains. “I’m proud and I need to make the best of it” he adds. Meanwhile, #ansufati vividly recalls his first debut with the team squad: “I was nervous, but it was great to share that moment with the fans” he says.
- A role model both on and off the pitch. “Success for me is being able to grow as a team and believing in our strengths, in what we do” explains #marcterstegen. The German goalkeeper, also a CUPRA ambassador, is a standard bearer for this next generation both on and off the pitch. Deeply engaged in sustainability, Ter Stegen shared his own philosophy of life: “Little things can have a big impact, and I want #people to know what I believe, not only by my words, but by my actions too. That’s why I’m a CUPRA ambassador, I identify with their values” he says. He believes in the power of growth and development also: “Growing is something everyone should strive for, and I am looking forward to seeing #people develop.”
