The same applies with all professional football players. It does feel good to write about Barcelona again, when there isn’t much going on with them at this point in time, it can be hard to write about them, but on with the post. With the conclusion of La Liga this year, the squad will have until July 21st to recuperate and recharge their batteries before Frank Rijkaard has his men training. In particular, core training, which means strength work/gym, vertical leaps to increase their jumping and slaloms to help their balance etc As you know, Ronaldinho has taken time off from the Copa America this year so that he can be in fit and fighting condition for the commencement of the new season of play.

It’s An Exciting Time For Barcelona
With the recent signings of Henry, Touré Yaya and Abidal, the team is set to become an exciting prospective group of players. These players will not begin training until 3 weeks from now as they still have their contracts and signings to take care of. In the next 3 weeks that all the players have off, the Barca staff have put together exercises and suggestions for each individual player, that each must follow in order to be good and ready for the official training sessions that will take place before the pre-season games. Speaking of pre-season games, these are the trial matches that Barcelona will be taking on until the commencement of the footballing season.
