Under this premise, does not result surprising that the technician of Terrassa have awarded a deserved day of rest to his players, after having made a session of physical recovery the past Monday, after the duel against the Athletic Club (0-0).

The 'jewels' summoned by Xavi for this session of training
During the day of the Tuesday, varied of the young players of the first team, as Vitor Roque (19), Pau Cubarsí (17), Lamine Yamal (16) and Héctor Fort (17), among others, carried out a specific training with the aim to supervise different appearances related with tactics and physical preparation, as it informed 'SPORT'. It is necessary to remember that, although Xavi Hernández has bet a lot by the youngsters in this campaign, even giving them his place in the diagram title (case Cubarsí and Lamine), because of his youth still there are some appearances in his game that have to pulir.
In this sense, stands out the case of 'Tigrinho', the one who although it has had minutes of game with the Catalan picture, perhaps no so many as it expected initially (198' in nine parties), still needs a bit more than experience to adapt to the style of game and the tactical concepts deployed in the FC Barcelona. Therefore, this type of skilled trainings can be a great help so much to work technical appearances as to keep the rhythm futbolístico.
