While the game in Hong Kong was suspended due to the approaching typhoon, work continued at La Masia, with youth goalkeeper Marc Martínez’s presence the most commented event.
The players that went to the Copa America, Lionel Messi, Rafa Márquez and Gaby Milito were back
training today, with the main plan being to get them up to the same level of fitness as their
colleagues that are currently in Asia.
Gudjohnsen works separately
Eidur Gudjohnsen, who is having trouble with his left knee, is working in isolation. He
started the day in the gym and finished the session on La Masia’s pitch with fitness experts.
Marc Martínez gets involved
But the most interesting sight was youth goalkeeper Marc Martínez joining the three first
team players in training.
The players combined circuit training with shots on goal, and
with the first team keepers away, the youngster was called upon to act as stopper. The players were
asked to try shots with both feet. It was a valuable experience for Marc Martínez, and was the
first time this week that the three first team players have taken shots on goal.
