@fansjavimiguel 1️⃣ Players must arrive 90 minutes before training:

• Xavi has requested that all players arrive 90 minutes early so that they can properly prepare for the session, have a quiet breakfast. Also to be able to make some individual talks to comment on aspects of the work.

@fansjavimiguel 2️⃣ The staff must show up 2 hours before training:

• Xavi is the first to set an example, so his staff members have to arrive 2 hours before training, with the aim that when the players start to arrive, they have everything ready to start their training session.

@fansjavimiguel 3️⃣ The players eat at the Ciutat Esportiva:

• All the players of the first team have to have eat in the dining room of the Blaugrana facilities under the parameters set by the club's nutritionists. A correct diet can prevent injuries and improve physical preparation.

@fansjavimiguel 4️⃣ Fines:

• Since Luis Enrique left, sanctions have disappeared. Xavi lived in Rijkaard's time as the wardrobe was diluted by the relaxation of the rules and also Guardiola, who established a rigid code of conduct, which ended up bearing fruit very soon.

@fansjavimiguel 5️⃣ Exponential sanctions:

• The fines will be fixed with a geometric rhythm. That means that if a player is late for training he would pay the lightest penalty, 100 euros, for the second penalty, it would be 200, but if he repeats a third, it would rise to 400.

@fansjavimiguel 6️⃣ 2 days before a game you cannot be home late:

• It is considered that the players must be aware that they have to arrive at the game in the best possible conditions and one of the non-negotiable requirements is to lead an orderly life, especially on the eve of the game.
#FCB

@fansjavimiguel 7️⃣ Meritocracy:

• You play like you train. Only those who train the best and who have the most commitment at work will have options to be starters. The rest will be on the bench or in the worst case, they will not be called up.

@fansjavimiguel 8️⃣ Control of activities:

• Footballers may have other activities that are not strictly football, but if these end up affecting their performance, they will have to be supervised by the coaching staff. Players cannot make private trips without the permission of the coach.
#FCB

@fansjavimiguel 9️⃣ Prohibited risky activities:

• No more seeing a player surfing or riding an electric bike. This type of practices is sanctioned as a very serious offense and would pass to the legal department as it is considered as a breach of their contracts.

@fansjavimiguel 🔟 Good image:

• The players are a fundamental part of the club and they have to be the first to set an example. They must be empathic with fans and reprehensible attitudes are prohibited.
