Since Xavi took over the bench FC Barcelona, one thing is certain, the group lives well! Proof of this is this new game introduced in training which seems to give back their child’s soul to the players.
Epic Dodgeball in FC Barcelona training
We’ve all had a game of dodgeball when we were little. Well without knowing it, we were almost participating in what would be the training of the FC Barcelona in 2022! During the last training session at the Sports City before the game against Celtic vigothe players engaged in a rather special exercise.
Two by two, holding hands, each duo must launch into an arena perched on obstacles while the other players try to hit them with a ball. The least we can say is that in this case, the snipers aren’t going too hard!
In any case, the game seems to create a fairly relaxed atmosphere during training sessions and we take pleasure in seeing Ousmane Dembele, Samuel Umtiti, Sergio Busquets or Memphis Depay laugh like children as they come out of their makeshift shelter before trying to escape the gunfire of their colleagues. We also notice that Dani Alves is particularly impressive in this little dodging game!
In addition to strengthening team spirit, the exercise is interesting in more ways than one since it forces the “target duo” to show good coordination to come out unscathed. On the other side, shooters work on the precision of their shots!
