Busquets: “In a couple of days we will have adapted”
David Saura (special correspondent)
As on every preseason tour, adapting to local time is one of the basic issues to sort out - the sooner the better. Busquets believes the players will need “a couple of days” to overcome the jet-lag.
Sergio Busquets, who rejoined the squad last Monday, spoke to the Catalan media after the first
training session in Los Angeles. Coping with the 9-hour time difference was the main topic of
discussion.
Accumulated tiredness
Referring to the never-ending day on Wednesday, the Catalan midfielder told us: “On the
plane we ate according to US West Coast time and that worked really well. But we’re still not
100% as we’ve gone nearly a day and a half without sleeping”.
Sergio Busquets, who formed part of last season’s US tour, assured us: “In a
couple of days we will have adapted. We’ll sleep better tonight”.
“Ibrahimovic is very excited”
The arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic was also a hot topic at the
press conference. According to Busquets: “Ibrahimovic is very excited and keen to begin
training. We’re very happy to have him with us. I hope he does with us what he has done with
other clubs”.
