The secret reason Tommy Marques looks up to Flick and de Jong
Teenager Tommy Marques made his first-team debut for Barcelona as a late substitute in Saturday's match against Real Mallorca, becoming the ninth academy graduate to debut under manager Hansi Flick. Marques expressed that Flick's trust in youth players serves as a major motivation for him and other academy talents.
In an interview with club media, Marques highlighted the inspiration he draws from senior players like Frenkie de Jong, noting that watching and learning from them daily is "spectacular." He emphasized the importance of staying grounded and ambitious to earn more opportunities.
Marques admitted he is still processing his debut, calling it a dream come true, especially as it took place at Camp Nou for the club he has been with for 11 years. He described feeling proud, happy, and overwhelmed by the experience.
Looking ahead, Marques is expected to receive more playing time this season, with reports indicating Flick has already informed him he will be part of the senior squad for the 2026-27 campaign.
