Video analysis, conversation with Laporta and a curious “action” | Relief

It’s been ten days since Hansi Flick started meeting with some of his staff. He is still waiting for some of the national team players to arrive. Christensen and Lewandowski will join the team next Monday. Ter Stegen, Gundogan and Rafinha, next Sundayfor a tour in which the Spaniards will not be present. As for the injured, the question of whether they will go will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Flick makes his players get up earlier than Xavi. The training will start half an hour earlier, at 9:30, and is scheduled for 8 o’clock at the Ciutat Esportiva stadium. In the afternoon, at 18:30, the second session of the day.

Barcelona is in the midst of a summer heat wave, which has forced Flick’s first session to be cancelled. It’s 27 degrees at 10am, and The footballers begin their warm-up at the direction of Julio Tous.one of the star staff of up to 14 people, including Thiago, who works as one of them. Before going out on the pitch, he watched Flick’s video session. Then, President Laporta came to greet the coachwith whom he chatted for a couple of minutes while Deco and Boyan worked in the office. Mini-match from the available ones in the afternooneight against eight depending on how the legs are.

As some survivalists like to say: body type “disguised”. Always with the ball and with Tous giving instructions: lots of rubber bands and always work in pairs, threes or groups of four.. Nutritionist Silvia Tremoleda supervises the training sessions with Hansi, who speaks English and, according to them, is gradually beginning to understand Spanish better. After the physical training, it’s a typical rondo. The coaches leave, but the rondos remain. There are things that never change.

On Friday, Flick divided the players into three groups. One of them included the main squad: Ansu Fati, Balde, Inigo Martinez, Oriol Romeu, Julian Araujo, Inaki Pena, Lenglet and Micah Faye’s SurpriseThe Senegalese centre-back is set to become part of Flick’s squad this season. Coincidence or not, Vitor Roquewhose number 19 will Lamin wear, He was in a rondo made up of reserve and youth team players.Thiago usually takes part in ball possession exercises as a joker.

From Monday, Flick and Rafa Marquez will have to ‘negotiate’ on some playersas this is when Barça Athletic begin their pre-season training. One of the questions they will have to decide is who the Fernandez cousins, Gil and Toni, both recently revamped, will train with. Hansi keeps a particularly close eye on the young people, knowing that there will be several of them during the tour.. At the exit from the parking lot, some boys and girls wait for the players to leave and watch cheerfully as some workers wash the windows of La Masia, where they live from children to Lamin Yamal or Pau Kubarsi, passing through Noah Darwich, in first-class dynamics.

“Go, go, go!” can be heard on Tito Vilanova’s pitch, where the first team is training. Ten days before Flick’s Barça make their debut in a friendly in Orlando against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the new coach is getting his players in shape. Physical insistence, one of the things that tipped the scales in the German’s favour, is a common trend in the Blaugrana’s training. Next week, first in the club media and then in front of the media, Flick will officially introduce himself..
