FC Barcelona started their training sessions ahead of the 2024–25 season on July 10, and since then, various positive reports have arisen from the training grounds. Be it Balde's recovery, Gavi's dedication, or Ansu Fati and Mika Faye's strength showcase, the Catalan team has been doing it pretty well recently.
Though a lot of credit goes to the Barcelona players, no one can take anything from the new in, Hansi Flick, as he looks to have revolutionized the training routines at FC Barcelona. The German mastermind's top priority has been fitness, and for the same reason, Flick has been applying various methodologies for its implementation.
Hansi Flick introduces new training routine
According to reports, the work in training starts from minute 1 for Hansi Flick, with special emphasis on physical aspects. Moreover, the activation matches before training, which were very common under Xavi, have been removed under the German boss. Not long ago, reports claimed that dental tests had been added for the first time in the club's history.
Even though Flick's training ideas seem unconventional, they have proven beneficial. The recovery stories of Gavi and Balde, the comeback of Ansu Fati's confidence, and Mika Faye's strength showcase have all had a significant effect on Flick's ideas. Not only that, the players are pleasantly surprised by the level of physical training during the pre-season so far.
On top of that, a player added,
"“I haven’t seen such a level of training in recent years.”"Barcelona player
Add it to Flick's ongoing work to bring the best out of forgotten Barcelona winger Ansu Fati. Hansi Flick’s staff has been paying special attention to Fati to improve his physical performance. Even a special personalized plan has been prepared for the youngster, which distinguishes Fati's routine from that of his teammates during the warm-up and stretching exercises today.
With these considerable efforts being put in by the German manager, alongside the Barca players, something special certainly is to be witnessed in the following season. With less than a month for club football, Barca would hope they face no more injuries and start a new journey for European glory under Hansi Flick.
