BARCELONA PLAYED A SQUID GAME AT XAVI’S FIRST TRAINING SESSION! ?? THIS IS WHAT XAVI CAME UP WITH!

Xavi’s first training session as Barcelona head coach
Officially

Xavi, who recently became a new head coach of Barcelona, had his first training session with the team. The 41-year-old Catalan has started preparing Barca players for the La Liga match against Espanyol on 20 November. The training session was attended by all healthy players and those who didn’t leave for their national teams. The training ground was also visited by Blaugrana President Joan Laporta, Vice President Rafa Yuste, Football Director Mateu Alemani, International Sector Director Jordi Cruyff and Technical Secretary Ramon Planes – all of them arrived to see and welcome the new coach at the work.

New Barcelona head coach Xavi for the first time talked to the team’s players in person. Before the training session started, the 41-year-old Spaniard gave a speech in which he referred to a recent 3-3 draw game against Celta:

“You are capable of more. After 3:0 up in the first half, you have no right to let your opponents draw the game. It’s impossible,” Xavi said, addressing the players.

“The coach replacement is due to the fact that the team was not doing well, and it felt like the players didn’t express positive emotions during this period. We’re able to fight for all trophies, but we have to give our best for this. We still have chances for the La Liga title,” – this is what Laporta said.

First dismissals from Xavi
As
The first personnel changes took place after Xavi’s appointment as head coach at Barcelona. The Spaniard turned down the services of Juanjo Brau, who was a chief physiotherapist for the Barcelona main team, and Albert Roque, who worked as a fitness coach. Their places will be taken by Ivan Torres and Carles Nogueira, who worked with Xavi at Al-Sadd, according to AS.

Xavi introduced tough rules
As
New Barcelona head coach Xavi has tightened the requirements for the training process in the first team, according to AS. As the source reports, now the players need to arrive at the club training ground at least an hour and a half before the start of training. This is necessary so that the players have time to have breakfast and prepare for the session. They are required to have lunch and dinner at the base only, adhering to the recommendations of a nutritionist. Xavi believes that the right diet will help the players avoid unnecessary injuries. In addition, he established a system of monetary penalties, and with every new misconduct, the penalty will grow exponentially. Barca players will not be allowed to come home after midnight, 48 hours before the start of the match. And Xavi has also prohibited risky hobbies such as surfing.

Xavi’s first training session: Did Barca footballers play the Squid Game? 🙂
Xavi had his first training session at the head of Barcelona and it turned out to be very unusual. Particular attention was drawn to the reaction game exercise. The players were divided into pairs, and their task was to hit the opponent on the palms from above. Whoever makes it 10 times – wins the game, while his opponent is «killed», which means he is eliminated. The winners are divided into two teams and play football. Online users have already called this mini-game «the squid game» – everyone who watched the popular Netflix series will understand what it means! It’s getting more and more interesting to observe Xavi’s work at Barca!
