Western media Asa's newspaper wrote that Barcelona can take advantage of Real Madrid's advantage of changing coaches and the Club World Cup to widen the gap at the beginning of the season.
Barcelona, led by Frick, is ambitious. All the players were fully aware that if they were to do their best to get things done, they would have the conditions to start a new era of domination. Level, youth and desire. However, the opponents have been reinforced and will not make them easy.
Frick said at the end of last season: "I feel like we have to work harder next year to win the championship. I want more championships. Our idea is to improve."
Barcelona had everything that was conducive to widening the gap in the beginning. In this sense, they are facing a critical preseason, aiming to achieve the best conditioning and set a fierce rhythm that is unmatched by the more consumed opponents. Among its main opponents, Barcelona consumes the least. Not participating in the Club World Cup, despite economic losses, has its advantages in competitive levels.
Real Madrid welcomes new coach Xavi Alonso and introduces new players. They need more time to get in and understand the new coach’s system. The Club World Cup, which was held in the United States and was hot, brought huge consumption to a team that had almost no rest. Atletico Madrid is in a similar situation, of course, they were eliminated in the event earlier. During
, Barcelona players are on vacation, getting rested physically and mentally, and preparing for a new season that is expected to be very difficult. In the first week of the preseason, Frick had set the tone. Intensive physical training and double training sessions aim to get the team to peak at the start of the new season. The goal is to win all the matches before the first interval.
After solving the complex problems of the last moment, the team will eventually go to Japan and South Korea to play 3 low-demand friendly matches there. The first game will be played against Kobe Victory Ship in Japan on Sunday, provided that no more problems occur. The other two games will be played in South Korea, against Seoul FC and Daegu FC on July 31 and August 4 respectively. The match against Kobe Victory Ship was pending after Barcelona announced a suspension due to no payment received. Finally, after a few days of intense work, Barcelona is expected to arrive in Japan this Saturday. Another advantage of Barcelona is that Frick was able to work with the full squad during the tour this time, only Rashford missed the first week of training. Although the club also has commercial activity arrangements, if possible, Frick will maintain training intensity in South Korea after Japan's plans are disrupted. The last friendly match will be the Gambel Cup against Como No. 10.
With a well-arranged preseason, Barcelona has no doubt that Mallorca, Levante and Vallecano will become their losers in the official match. A three-game winning streak (9 points) can start to open the gap with the main competitors.
