The seven players joined 25 from the B team squad on Pitch Number 2 of
the Ciutat Esportiva this morning, as new signing Javier Mascherano got his first taste of
Guardiola’s training methods before he too flies off to join his national team this
afternoon.
Alves
The other six first team squad members at Guardiola’s disposition
were Pinto, Abidal, Maxwell, Adriano, Keita and Alves, who will join up with Brazil on September
2nd and came along to training today despite being given the day off.
Mini Estadi debut
Although the focus for the first team squad members is primarily
physical, as they work to maintain fitness during the international break, Luis Enrique’s
youngsters are preparing for their home debut in the Mini Estadi. After the weekend’s win in
Vigo, Barca B entertain recently relegated Xerez at the stadium this Sunday at 21.00.
