The first thing in Barcelona's training camp for the new season is a physical examination.
Except for Edmilson, who had knee surgery in the summer and is still recovering, everyone else on the team is in good health, but physical examinations are not necessarily possible. Some players inevitably lacked self-discipline during the holidays.
Three new players, Thuram, Gianluca Zambrotta and Good Johnson, also arrived at Gamber Sports City on the first day.
Captain Puyol welcomed them on behalf of the team and also introduced them to other players in the locker room.
A person's name, a tree's shadow.
Although Su Dong does not hold any position in the Barcelona locker room, he must be careful when world-class stars such as Thuram and Zambrotta arrive, for fear of accidentally offending the invisible boss in the locker room.
.
But soon, they were surprised to realize that their idea was terribly wrong.
Su Dong was very polite to them and others, and his training was meticulous.
If nothing else, let’s just talk about physical examination.
Instruments and equipment treat everyone equally and cannot be faked, but Su Dong's physical data is the best among everyone.
The other Barcelona players have long been accustomed to this, but the three new players were very surprised.
This is just the end of the holiday season, and the new season hasn’t started yet.
"If you get along with him for a long time, you will gradually get used to it. For him, it doesn't matter whether there is a holiday or not. It's just whether there is a game or not."
Puyol's words with a smile made the three new players feel incredible.
Before I came, I heard a lot about it, but after I came, I realized that it was even more outrageous than the rumors said.
"No wonder France's L'Equipe said that he can dominate European football for ten years!" Thuram said in wonder.
…
The team assembled on July 17th and then began to rest.
By the 20th, everyone, including the national players who participated in the World Cup, had returned to the team.
Among the twenty teams in La Liga, this is already considered the latest.
You know, Real Madrid's Capello took Real Madrid's stars out for training early, and was so ruthless that they trained to death. News broke just two days ago that Real Madrid's stars got into a fight during training.
In comparison, Barcelona's management is quite relaxed.
On the 21st, the entire team set off for the Danish port city of Aarhus.
The team trained here last year and chose to train here this year. Rijkaard has tasted the benefits.
As the training camp unfolded, Barcelona players gradually felt the changes brought about by the changes in the coaching staff.
In the past, when Tenkat was here, Rijkaard was like a hands-off boss and basically didn't have to worry about training. During training every day, he would stand aside and watch leisurely, shouting to stop and say a few words from time to time.
But Tenkat turned into Neeskens, and Rijkaard could no longer be so leisurely.
He not only has to participate in the team's training arrangements before the game, but also down to the details of the layout of the training ground, various requirements during training, recovery after training, and communication with players, Rijkar
Everyone is busy from beginning to end.
Not only that, even after the break, he has to worry about team management.
For example, would Ronaldinho sneak out to visit a nightclub?
There are so many trivial details that Tenkat used to do, but now that it has become Neeskens, the situation is different.
Barcelona quickly found an assistant coach for Rijkaard, Portuguese legend and Black Panther Eusebio.
But it would be difficult for Eusebio to fill Tenkat's vacancy.
In addition to daily management, Rijkaard is also very worried about one thing, and that is the mentality of the players.
Having achieved astonishing results for two consecutive seasons, including a double and the treble last season, Barcelona can be said to have reached its peak, at least in terms of performance, and it is no longer possible to break through.
Rijkaard was very worried that the players would be satisfied with the status quo and relax because of it, so he communicated with the players almost every day during the training camp to understand their situation.
Tenkat was originally responsible for these tasks.
At least, Tenkat was able to suppress the players in the past, but now Neeskens and Eusebio, who came by air, do not have enough authority.
After Rijkaard was worried, Barcelona's chariot finally got on the track steadily.
Whether it is Su Dong, Puyol, or Ronaldinho, no one is stupid. They all know that the most dangerous thing after the peak is to relax. They are all still very young and have a long time to go.
We have a long way to go, and we can’t just start living on our laurels now.
So, for the time being, everyone is still relatively self-disciplined and conscious.
But as time passes, I no longer know.
…
While Barcelona was training in Denmark, something happened on the board of directors far away in Barcelona.
The opposition directors of the board of directors formally impeached Chairman Laporta.
The reason is that according to Barcelona's rules and regulations, Laporta has ceased to be the chairman of Barcelona since June 30, but now he is still performing the duties of the chairman of Barcelona. This is an overstep.
Opposition directors demanded that the Barcelona board of directors immediately impeach Chairman Laporta and organize a presidential election immediately.
This proposal caused quite a stir in the Spanish football world, but more people felt that it was like a soap opera and did not take it seriously, thinking that it would be a big deal and it would be over.
Laporta even came forward to say that the Barcelona board of directors has no intention of holding an early presidential election for the time being, and that his term should be until 2007, not 2006.
He also said that he had the support of the board of directors and it was impossible to accept the opposition's proposal and would not compromise!
After the first confrontation, Laporta won a resounding victory as everyone expected.
However, the opposition directors soon made a second move and stated that they would take the Barcelona board of directors directly to court on the grounds that the board of directors' decision seriously harmed the interests of Barcelona and violated the wishes of Barcelona members and the majority of Barcelona fans.
.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "According to the club's charter, Laporta is no longer the chairman of Barcelona, but the board of directors is now following the wishes of a person who is no longer the chairman of Barcelona. I can't understand what this is.
What's going on?"
To everyone, this looks more like a farce.
But as the fuss continued, the taste gradually began to change.
At first, Laporta absolutely did not believe that the opposition would appeal to the court. He even said that he was a lawyer and the court would not accept such a lawsuit. At the same time, he also stated again that he was the chairman of Barcelona and there was no doubt about it.
Just in August, the Barcelona Court of First Instance announced that it would officially accept the lawsuit filed by members of the Barcelona board of directors.
This immediately triggered a fierce response throughout Catalonia, and also caught Barcelona's management off guard.
Laporta convened an emergency meeting of the bureau members to discuss countermeasures, and also comforted the Barcelona team in Denmark, which was about to leave for the United States to participate in the North American Invitational Tournament.
In fact, the various incidents that occurred in the Camp Nou management had almost no impact on Barcelona's first team.
Everyone knows that this is a matter for the management and has nothing to do with the players. The most important task of the players is to play well.
Therefore, after getting the news, Barcelona players even took it as a joke and flew to the United States with smiles on their faces.
Shortly after the team arrived in the United States, the judge in Hall 30 of the Barcelona Court of First Instance made a ruling, agreeing with the opinions of the opposition on the Barcelona board of directors and requiring Barcelona to elect a new chairman and bureau members as soon as possible.
The reason is simple. According to the Barcelona club's charter, Laporta and his bureau members have ended their terms of office on June 30.
In his judgment, the judge mentioned the fact that during the 2003 Barcelona presidential election, members elected a president whose term would end in 2007. However, due to a lack of understanding of the club's charter, Laporte
Tower now has to end his term a year early.
The judge said that this was an embarrassing situation because Laporta had actually only been president for three years and nine days, but the charter was the charter, so he made a ruling requiring Barcelona to hold a presidential election.
Laporta also quickly called the management to discuss it, because they only had five days to decide whether to appeal, and in the end, they agreed that there was no need to appeal.
Laporta's team is fully confident in winning the election and is determined to win!
For two consecutive seasons, he has produced such amazing results, and the club's financial revenue is also rising. Laporta's management and operation of Barcelona is also obvious to all, which makes him and his team believe that there is no way to win.
There is no need to fear a presidential election.
Facts have also proved that according to a poll conducted by Daily Sports, more than 80% of the fans support Laporta, while only 20% of the fans support Russell, which is not even the same as in other elections.
People's support rate is even lower.
In other words, all the opposition combined cannot pose a threat to Laporta.
Daily Sports analysis believes that holding an election in advance is actually beneficial to Laporta, because he now has the Triple Crown in hand and is at the peak of his power. If the election is held at this moment, no one can shake his position.
Unless Laporta makes some serious mistake that will not be forgiven by the fans!
…
After Laporta made his decision, the club immediately began intensive preparations.
According to the club's charter, there are thirty-four days to prepare for the entire election. Each candidate can formally announce his plan, followed by seventeen days of canvassing time.
In other words, the Barcelona presidential election will be scheduled for the end of September.
The day after Laporta announced his support for the court's decision to hold the presidential election, a Barcelona member immediately submitted an indictment to the court again, believing that Laporta violated the club's charter and refused to resign after the end of his term as chairman.
Conduct a presidential election, occupy the position of chairman, and ask the court to deprive Laporta of his qualification to run.
Although the court quickly made a ruling and did not support the Barcelona member's lawsuit, it still made Laporta and others break into a cold sweat.
You know, Barcelona has 140,000 members, and only one person has filed a lawsuit. What if there are more?
The opposition's methods are interlocking, which is to force Laporta to step down!
