Pre-season friendlies 14/15

[Stric]

Not sure why we doing this pre season. Normal teams go to a training camp but we are going on a world tour for promotion and money. Not sure if it would be better to let this money go and do a propper preperation for the long season like Bayern and Dortmund does. No wonder those teams were fit like none other.

We did it that way last year. The year before that, I think, the team went to the US for preseason. You said it yourself, it's all about money.

I couldn't watch the Valerenga match, how'd we do? Did the youngsters impress?

Normal teams? All top teams do a tour, City, United, Real,... the best players don't play much in these games anyway. They play so many games and have such a small break it's useless for them to have a "full on" pre-season.

Just because bayern and dortmud were fit last year Shandy goes beserk.

Did really well. Sergi Roberto was very good. The youngsters played some top drawer team football. Samper will run song out if the city before long. Busquets clone.

 

[coura]

Valerenga is very soft. All the games before the supercup are easy. The 10 players have 3 weeks days until 1st game with Atletico.

Arent we supposed to pump up or fitness in the preseason? Only a halftime for the first team. Now wonder bvb and bayern were so much fitter at the end of the season.

 

[Galning]

That's not really how it works for the pro's at the top level. These guys have played so much that it's better to not play them a lot, as long as they get some match rhythm it's fine.

It´s standard to do that in the 1st couple of games.

Good confidence booster against the Norwegians.

- Messi was instrumental early with assists and a goal.
- Sanchez was lively and was involved in 4 goals.
- Dongou scored a brace which was nice for the kid to start his career off on the right foot.
- Roberto continued to impress with his play.

 

[Tomchin]

- Roberto continued to impress with his play.

And his hair! Sergi is by far one of the most handsome guys in our squad, no?

Only if Flavia confirms.

 

[Caramel]

Yes.Gorgeous hair indeed.
And barca players are ugly in general. Not hard for sergi roberto to be one of the better looking ones.

Off topic :
Piqué is the best looking barca player. But his body and the fact that he cant defend to save his life are such a turn off.

 

[ryuken]

He still scores hot piece of ass in Shakira
