Monday training
Aleix Santacana/Miriam Nadal
The entire senior football squad trained at the La Masia grounds on Monday morning with the exception of the injured Rafa Márquez.
Rafa Márquez was the only member of the senior squad unable to take part in Monday’s
training session, the first after the draw against Betis. The rest of the squad began their
preparations for the four remaining matches of the 2006-07 league season, starting with next
Sunday’s away match against Atlético Madrid.
Post-match routine
The players went through the usual post-match routine, with
the players involved against Betis being excused the rigours of the training match.
The session consisted of warm-up exercises followed by ball control exercises (without
Thuram, who exercised apart). They then did some jogging after which the players that took part in
Sunday’s match returned to the dressing rooms. The rest of the squad carried on with
exercises focussed on passing and ball control.
Five-a-side
The session ended with a training match between Jorquera,
Belletti, Oleguer, and Giuly and fitness coach Albert Roca against Juan Carlos Unzué (goalkeeping
coach), Saviola, Gudjohnsen, Motta and Ezquerro.
