Marquez congratulates Casado

Rafa Márquez left the Barça Athletic bench last summer to go work for the Mexican Football Federation, but he hasn’t forgotten his former players. The Mexican is very pleased with the excellent performance that his reserve team captain Mark Casado showed in the first team last season.

The coach made this very clear on social media. “Now, as a coach, what you value most is gratitude and helping the player develop. Casado is a shining example of a professional player from head to toe! Bravo!! Glad for your performance!!” said Marquez.

In this way, the Mexican responded to the words of the Catalan Barça midfielder, who played a sensational match against Bayern and thanked Marquez for the work done with him. “If I am where I am, it is largely thanks to Rafa Marquez.

. He always gave me confidence and made me a better person and a better player, especially making me realize the importance of work off the field. I will be forever grateful to him,” the Catalan said in an interview.

Casado played 31 games for the reserve team last season and has long been a regular in the first team under Xavi as coach.
