Mavericky Puig

tbh this is imo the least physique we should expect from a pro athlete. It's quite shameful that we have gotten used to dad bods.

I think Iniesta is not as ripped as Puig.

All our players are old school(no modern footballer body). No wonder Bayern bullies and runs around our players for fun. Compare Pique, Busi, Suarez etc with Bayern players and you see where the issue is. Even Griez didn't look too good but he has good legs for running.

Our fitness level in general must be one of the worst from the top teams. It needs to change.

Finally stronger than Keira Knightley

It’s rather odd that Barca doesn’t focus too much on diet and fitness like other top clubs. The golden era of 2009-2016 was once in a lifetime, and you can’t always rely on the talent level being so high that it outweighs the physical aspects of the game.

This sport changes fast, and goes through cycles every 3-4 years. Right now we are clearly on the counter attack/pressing/physicality cycle of the sport. Don’t Bar?a realize that? After 3 peat of RM CL? After Anfield humiliation? Bayern humiliation?

I think ultimately it just comes down to arrogance from our club. They probably still think that triangle passing/one touch football is all you need, even if it’s with seniors on their last legs

Actually, we are pioneers in this area. Most of our players had the body that is perfect for their game. Players like Messi/Neymar/Alves etc was transformed here. Iniesta too.

Only exception is old Suarez, probably because he is one of those whose rate of metabolism declined badly too soon.

You say that as if the physical level then and now is the same, with more talent back then making the big difference. Almost all of the players then were so much more physically superior than now, enough to press almost the whole of every game. If anything Barcelona were one of the most fittest teams on the planet back then, strength wise? Maybe not but fitness wise? 110%.

Totally true.. our team was physically superhuman for a couple seasons..

Accused of using PEDs even. There was a humongous thread about that in redcafe. Maybe they were right. You get a hell of a hangover after being THAT high.

 

[clemente]

It's weird to me why is he so skinny still, I get that some people have faster metabolism but still with a dietician he should bulk up in months, seriously nobody in this club is putting players physiques in check, anything is allowed.

 

[JerseyAddict]

Is he our new no8 or no4?

Who is small? Puig is on dat dere celltech already bulking!

 

[Gnidrologist]

He's a strong little fellow, dawgs. Don't underestimate the gnomes.
Seriously, whenever i watched him, he was never compromised against big tough doods. And by aging he will get more body mass even without bulking. Everyone does.
