Carles Puyol, the former Spanish footballer and Barcelona legend, recently visited Bali to scout young football talents. The purpose of his visit was to oversee a talent search event called “Talenta 11” where 11 promising young Indonesian footballers were selected to participate in a training program.
Puyol was joined by several former Indonesian national team players, including Bambang Pamungkas and Irfan Bachdim, who helped in identifying and selecting the talented young players. The event was organized by the Indonesian Football Association (PSSI) in collaboration with local football academies and clubs.
The 11 selected players will now have the opportunity to train under the guidance of Puyol and other experienced coaches, with the goal of developing their skills and helping them reach their full potential. Puyol, known for his leadership and defensive skills during his playing career, will undoubtedly provide valuable insights and guidance to the young footballers.
The visit of Puyol and the involvement of former Indonesian national team players in the talent search event highlights the growing interest and investment in youth development in Indonesian football. With the right training and support, these young players have the potential to make a significant impact in the future of Indonesian football.
Overall, Carles Puyol’s visit to Bali and his involvement in the Talenta 11 program is a positive step towards nurturing and developing young football talents in Indonesia. It is an exciting opportunity for these young players to learn from a footballing legend and take their skills to the next level. Hopefully, this initiative will inspire more investment and support for youth development in Indonesian football, ultimately leading to a brighter future for the sport in the country.
