Luis Enrique

[hardyboy]

Nope. He is the Director of La Masia now.

is that a promotion or a demotion???

 

[KingMessi]

I'd say the role suits him better since he used to be head talent scout.

 

[DonAndres]

Man I wish Messi was at the training camp. Of course he needs his rest after having played so much but I can't wait to see him partaking in intense training sessions. I'm just anticipating for Pol and Lucho to muster up a fit and energetic Messi like he was in his prime.

 

[instinct]

I agree but it would have been better, if Suarez had been there. Lucho doesn't need these facilities to make Messi fit again although it would have been an advantage but Suarez would benefit from the close atmosphere there. In Barcelona the players are only together in training and during the rest of the day they are on his day. In England, however the players spend the whole day with each other and this would have been great for Suarez. If the ban is upheld, he'll have to integrate into the team during the season which is much more difficult than preparing for the new season as a unit IMO.

Nice warm-up methods there Players have a lot of fun.

Thank you Lucho for not signing David Luiz

Oh yeah. David Luiz is not the right player for Barca. He has a different style of play, and generally I do not like him. I do not know why but he irritates me. He plays well, but there is something annoying in him.

That guy looks like Claudio Bravo's older brother.

Sylvinho (ex-Barcelona): "I feel really good about Luis Enrique's Barcelona. I think he'll bring back dynamism and intensity." [cope]

Not to be a dik but why are these guys already going balls out with analyzing players? Most of them just got back from summer vacations/ WC so I'm sure none of them are going to train at full intensity.

Probably to know how they're developing their fitness in pre season?

That would make sense but I thought the whole point of the video system is to see the positioning of the players, how they are playing together, etc.?

 

[Stric]

Going to full intensity has little to do with a player's inherent characteristics and movements, which are notable on tape even at lower intensity.

Lucho is restoring Pep's code:
1- Fines from 1k to 6k for different things
2- Players have to get to the club 1h before trainings start
3- Players forbidden of going out 48h before games
4- A serious infraction can lead to being kicked out
