A group of Barcelona stars have sent a message the way of head coach Xavi and his coaching staff, regarding the club’s training methods.
That’s according to Què T’hi Jugues, who have on Sunday provided an insight into the latest chatter behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.
The bulk of Xavi’s squad, of course, are currently spread out across the globe, with their respective nations as part of the international break.
Prior to departing, though, several made clear their desire for the levels to be upped upon their return.
Ahead of the most decisive stretch of the campaign, which will see Barcelona’s fate on both the domestic and continental fronts decided, the club’s players are evidently keen to push their physical wellbeing to its maximum capacity.
Barca have on occasion this season been accused of lacking when it comes to fitness and physicality, albeit with the long-running injury woes in Xavi’s ranks having not at all helped.
As a result, they have sent a request to those responsible for the club’s training schedule to increase the intensity, little by little, over the course of the coming weeks.
