Carles Puyol began his footballing career in the local team of the small town where he was born, La Pobla de Segur. His talent soon attracted wider attention and, at the age of 17, he was signed up for the Barca academy at La Masía. I got these facts from http://www.carles5puyol.com. He helps the team by keeping a strong line and scoring headers like pique. This is why he is good in the tika tata system.
