The Trophy Joan Gamper of this year will serve to present in society to varied of the recently arrived to the Camp Nou, some old known and other young surprises. To his 23 years, Gerard Deulofeu will go back to debut in his house, converted at last in member of the first team and with win to convince and show that "aquest any himself". They will accompany him Nélson Semedo and Marlon Santos, with some doubts more in the rucksack but with the illusion to continue living experiences with the 'greater'.

Another of which will première in the night of the Monday is the own Ernesto Valverde, although in his case will do it only in the local bench. With Barcelona past and a recognised path like trainer, the Txingurri wants to show that it is prepared for the greater challenge of his career.
