Marc Casadó, the young talent from La Masía, has publicly acknowledged the influence that Rafa Márquez has had on his career and personal development. "If I am where I am, it's largely thanks to Rafa Márquez. He instilled confidence in me at all times and made me a better person and a better player, especially by showing me the importance of working off the field. I will be forever grateful to him," commented the FC Barcelona midfielder, highlighting the deep mark that the former player and now coach has left in his life.

In response to this gratitude, Márquez replied with words full of humility and appreciation: "As a coach now, one of the things you value most is the gratitude and the help to develop the player. Casadó is a clear example of a professional player from head to toe. Bravo! Happy with his performance! #4ctitude."

The relationship between coach and player goes beyond work on the field; for Márquez, helping his players develop is one of the greatest achievements in his coaching career, and in Casadó, he has found a pupil eager to absorb each lesson and put it into practice with dedication and commitment.
