More physical and tactical training in London
Marc Guillén (enviat especial)
The Barça players are continuing their preseason preparations at Bisham Abbey. Thursday morning’s session was very similar to the work done on Wednesday with a mixture of physical and technical exercises.
At approximately 10.15 local time, the 28 players made their appearance on the training ground. The session lasted for 90 minutes (as on Wednesday) with Henry, Maxwell and Márquez training separately with the coaches.
Focus on defence
The rest of the players repeated some of the
drills they practised on Wednesday with a focus on defensive pressure. The players worked in groups
of three to improve their covering play in defence. Manager Pep Guardiola was at the heart of the
activity at all times and stopped play frequently to correct his players.
The players also did a number of stamina exercises as well as a number of activities to improve ball skills.
The squad will train again this evening at 6.15 pm local time.
Laporta at Bisham Abbey
Club president Joan Laporta was present at the hotel this morning and took the opportunity to greet
the players.
