Working at La Masia

Berta Brau / Anna Segura

Thiago Motta, Maxi López, Sylvinho and Santi Ezquerro have all trained in front of La Masia after being excluded from the trip to Munich.

The quartet were all left out of Frank Rijkaard’s squad for the game against Bayern on Wednesday evening and have instead undergone a training session in Barcelona. Coach Paco Seirul.lo put the players through their paces as they continued pre-season preparations.

Strength and intensity

To ensure that the four players could undergo a proper session, Barça B’s keeper, Pau Torres, was called up to work with them. Strength and intensity was the focus of the morning along with ball control and shooting. After the initial warm-up routines, the players did a series of circuits that involved changing pace at regular intervals.

The session concluded with a small two-against-two game into one goal.

Eidur Gudjohnsen was also at Camp Nou on Wednesday morning, but the Icelandic international continued his recuperation in the gym.
