In addition to outlining the end of the present season and begin to tantear the signings, the FC Barcelona is slope of the work of the next campaign. The calendar, in a year in which there is World-wide, will go back to be an obstacle, and already there is an open debate on the planning of the pre-season. The Catalans could have problems.
The FC Barcelona could not doing turn American
The main problem is that they will bump the sportive and economic forecasts. With regard to these last, is clear that the International Champions Cup is an interesting source of income and renounce to her is not simple, but would lose thrown if they are all stars of the staff.
With the forecast to play like minimum the Supercopa of Spain, the Barcelona have that the one of Europe is fixed for 15 August and LaLiga begins the 19, by what, knowing that it is necessary to leave some days between turns it and the competition, this would have to celebrate, as a lot, to finals of July. For then there will be a lot of players that still are on holiday after the World-wide of Russia.
Hardly three or four footballers of the first team have seen reduced his options to go with the selection, and those that would have more, or practically safe, the possibility to be with the Barça would be Jasper Cillessen, because Holland did not classify , and Denis Suárez, Paco Alcácer and Aleix Vidal, because they are almost descartados of the international announcement. The effort to do a long trip would not compensate.
The Barça looks for solutions for the pre-season
With this stage in mind, it would be necessary to value if the International Champions Cup keeps like priority, as it went it in 2011, 2015 and 2017, year in which precisely Ernesto Valverde won the competition, or look for alternatives that guarantee income and preparation, since it touches to be smart to struggle by the possible titles and for the start suspender belt.
In this sense, could programasr a series of friendly by Europe, in which go taking the tone and adding load to the legs but without a trip like which would demand one turns American. Still it remains time to take decisions, but it is necessary to ensure the shot because the next campaign is at stake. And the Barça does not want to tropiezos.
