Barcelona concluded their first week of training this Sunday morning with Flick at the helm.
The Blaugrana completed six sessions over four days, as Wednesday was reserved solely for the initial preseason physical and medical tests. This Monday, the squad will enjoy a day off before facing another week of intensive training.
During this morning's session, the spotlight was on Mika Faye, who turned 20 and was congratulated by his teammates.
Han Flick has started the summer preparations with a minimal squad due to international commitments (Copa América, Euro, and the Olympic Games). He currently has 28 players under his command, most of whom are from the reserve team or the youth academy. Additionally, Balde, Julián Araujo, Gavi, and Frenkie de Jong have continued their recovery processes. The good news is that the fullback has been seen training at a good pace during the sessions.
The Blaugrana squad will train at the Ciudad Deportiva for the next two weeks, gradually reintegrating international players. After this period, they will head to the United States for the traditional summer tour. This tour will be crucial for the team to build chemistry and fitness ahead of the new season. Fans are eagerly anticipating the return of the full squad and are hopeful for a successful campaign under Flick’s guidance.
The tour in the United States is expected to include several high-profile friendlies against top teams, providing valuable experience and exposure for the younger players. It will also give Flick the opportunity to assess his squad in competitive situations and make tactical adjustments as needed. The rigorous training schedule and competitive matches will help ensure the team is well-prepared for the challenges of the upcoming season, both domestically and in European competitions.
