The win in Zaragoza was the fourth on the run and marked the team’s best ever start to a season on the road. There have been five seasons when the team won their first three away games, but never before, their first four.
Game was really nice, Messi scored twice, NO INJURIES, Iniesta recieved standing ovation, players traveled by train:P and much more;)
and one more photo from train, posted by Pique: "From Zaragoza, on the train... with my Brother Puyi!!!" Pique:"For sure, many asked which music Puyi was listening to on his Ipod... I asked and he told me that it was Shuarma!"
...not only for Barca;) sorry for no posts during last few days, I've got very busy week and didn't have time to update blog, so tonight will be quick summary and I will try to post all important (and not so important stuff)
Monday:
Bojan was present at the presentation of the Barça Veterans 2010/11 prize for fair play which he picked up. The young striker refuses to let the lack of goals get to him and insisted: “it’s only normal that people say things, because I’ve still not scored, but when the first one goes in, I’m sure there will plenty more to come”
Barça were back in training this evening after their day off on Sunday and Puyol and Xavi both trained apart. The captain picked up knock on his left leg on Saturday and Xavi did some recovery work on his ankle.
Gaby Milito was forced out of this evening’s training session with a muscle strain in his left thigh that will rule him out for up to two weeks.
Also Pep spoke to press. “Because of the quality of the opposition, their good preparation and the fact that so little has been said about them” Guardiola feels Wednesday’s game with Copenhagen at the Camp Nou could be a dangerous one. And our Mister was also adorable!
Xavi and Puyol, who missed training on Monday, were back on Tuesday for the session at the Camp Nou, but the injured Milito was absent.
Wednesday- game day!
Víctor Valdés was out of Champions League game against Copenhagen after suffering vomiting and fever overnight. B team keeper Rubén Miño has been called into the squad as cover. José Manuel Pinto made his Champions League debut. Pinto played in this season’s Joan Gamper Trophy, saving three penalties in Barça’s win.
But the best part of the day was game! 2-0 for us:D I'm sure most of us watched the game so there is no need to write about it:P Photos in no particular order:P
With most of the players involved in Wednesday night’s game working out in the gym, just seven of the first team squad, together with five players from the B team, took part in morning’s training session at the Ciutat Esportiva. Pinto and Abidal were the only players from last night’s starting line up to join the session, with the rest of the players, including Xavi Hernández, settling for some recovery work in the gym. The Catalan World Moto 2 champion, Toni Elías was a visitor at morning’s training session after watching the game at the Nou Camp last night as a guest of the club
Xavi Hernàndez will be rested this weekend for the game against Zaragoza and will therefore be able to assist at the ceremony of presentation of the Premis Príncep d'Astúries in Oviedo.
Josep Guardiola will take eighteen players to Zaragoza this Saturday: the seventeen available players from the first team squad, plus Thiago from Barça B.
Well it's very difficult to remeber which team our company supports yeah? ;)
At the beginning of each season, Audi gives a car to all of the first team players, as well as to the head coach. Pep Guardiola turned his down, arguing that if there weren’t a car for all of the technical staff, then there should not be one for him, either.
