Barcelona has chosen a very interesting path this season: the coaching staff is no longer limited to tactics, pressing, or physical training. They have also begun to take the issue of players' rest and recovery seriously.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona has hired a sleep specialist to help players recover faster and better after intense training and relentless play. That is, in the team, the question "Did you sleep well?" is no longer just a simple inquiry - it's part of the preparation.
It is noted that the main task of this specialist is of great importance, especially during pre-season training camps and away meetings. The reason is simple: changing time zones, returning early in the morning, and disrupting the daily routine severely affect the body. Such situations increase stress, anxiety, and fatigue, which can lead to a decrease in both speed and attention in the field.
Therefore, Barça is not leaving this issue unaddressed - details such as sleep regimen, recovery, and returning the body to normal after the trip are being systematically monitored. Because in big football, a small detail is often a big difference.
In addition, special attention is paid to the issue of public catering. The players will have breakfast at the training base, and if they want, they can bring food with them to the training camp. The goal is one: to provide the body with the necessary "fuel" in a timely manner, accelerate the recovery process, and reduce the risk of injury.
In short, Barcelona is currently putting the players in shape not just on the field, but primarily in their daily routines. In football, trophies are often "built" not at the stadium, but in invisible places like sleeping and recovery - and the Catalans seem to understand this well.
