Thinking in Liverpool

Following defeat against Sevilla yesterday, Barça have already begun preparations for the game against Liverpool this morning.

This morning at the Masia, the whole squad, except Giuly, who was in the gym, has taken part in a 45 minute recovery session. The game finished with nine players on Saturday, therefore this morning’s session was relatively smooth in order to recover and maintain form for Tuesday’s clash against Liverpool.

Starting line up rested

While Jorquera took part in a special training session with Juan Carlos Unzue, the rest of the squad did some running exercises, followed by stretches. Ball control in two groups followed this and finally, a game in which the starting line up against Sevilla did not take part in.

Puyol, Oleguer and Zambrotta

Carles Puyol, Oleguer Preses and Gianluca Zambrotta trained separately from the rest of the squad with physical trainer Paco Sirullo.

Game with the subs

The players who did not start the game against Sevilla finished the day’s training with a quick game. Samuel Eto’o seemed very sharp and in good shape ready for the game against Liverpool, in which Barça need goals.

Champions league ball

Rijkaard decided to use the official champions league ball for the session on Sunday, in order for the team to get accustomed to what they will need to put into the back of the net at Anfield.
