Xavi Hernández made his debut this Tuesday as the new coach of FC Barcelona and directed his first training session. The egarense greeted all the players who have not gone with their teams before the session and later directed them on the field
After his official presentation this past Monday in front of the Camp Nou, Xavi Hernández has lived this Tuesday his first day like trainer of the FC Barcelona. The egarense directed his first training and presented to all the players that gave appointment in the Ciutat Esportiva of Sant Joan Despí. Joan Laporta accompanied to his new technician in his first day and was beside him in the changing room before the session.
The one of Terrassa presented and greeted amicably one to one to all the footballers that attended to the installations barcelonistas. Sergi Roberto, ex his mate in his stage like player; Riqui Puig, to the one who embraced fondly; Ousmane Dembélé, to the that considers basic; or Nico González, that is 'touched' right now, greeted to his new míster in the changing room. Samuel Umtiti, Net Walled, Eric García or Martin Braithwaite also were with him.
Nevertheless, after chatting with his plantel, touched to go to the green and in the alone field could have six players. The stop of selections and the plague of injuries have left to the Barça in picture and therefore Xavi only could head to Umtiti, Net, Iñaki Crag, Riqui, Óscar Mingueza and Luuk of Jong, that have not been summoned by his respective countries and that do not have any physical problem.
Nevertheless, although any of the six footballers aims to title against the RCD Espanyol inside something more than a week and average, Xavi took very seriously his première like trainer culé and began to prepare the derbi Catalan. The míster explained what wanted to see on the lawn and directed his first session to go testing things of face to the mentioned crash against the eternal rival in Catalonia.
Riqui Puig has to take advantage of the stop
Of the six players of the first staff that has available the ex midfield player, the only that seems that it could have a paper stood out to his orders seems that it is Riqui Puig. In front of the absences of Frenkie of Jong, summoned with Holland; of Gavi and Busquets, that are with Spain; and of Pedri and Nico González, lesionados, the one of Matadepera has these days an occasion of gold to convince to Xavi, that could 'throw' of him in the next meeting if it wins the opportunity.
