The coach has not sit well that the subsidiary back on January 2 and enjoy nine days of celebration that his team. At the last moment he has summoned the three players mentioned by Cruyff for the Catalunya-Tunisia: Montoya, Muniesa and Roberto.

The first team of FC Barcelona return to work this afternoon to begin preparing the first game of 2012 against Osasuna , which will be held on January 4. Guardiola has 17 players, as Iniesta , Villa and Afellay are injured and Alves and Messi are allowed to extend their vacation. Under normal conditions, throw Barca B but can not do it because interestingly the subsidiary will not train until 2, which has surprised and really liked Pep, which has been used at the last minute for the first session of the three Cruyff cited by players for the day-Tunisia Catalunya 30, Montoya, Muniesa and Sergi Roberto.

A first team of technicians has not sit well that the B-grown players have enjoyed nine days of celebration that their own players. The Barca played his last match on day 22 compared to Hospitalet, so there will only be counted on six days of vacation. The subsidiary, however, finished the year on Saturday December 17 in Valladolid, and a narrow defeat, and the return on January 2, have had more than two weeks, 16 days.

Eusebio understood that this outweighs the Christmas holidays were shorter than the summer for their players. Some disputed the Under-21 Championship in Denmark in June, others the FIFA Under-20 Colombia in August and two players, Sergi Gomez and Deulofeu, just rested six days between the final of the Copa del Rey youth, Sunday June 26 in Ceuta, and the beginning of the preparation for the European Under-19 Romania, which ended up winning on 6 July.

The first team of Barca who has returned to work was that of the Juvenil A, which is also part of the professional structure of the club.

Cuenca, Montoya, Bartra and Sergi Roberto part of the first team next season, which may also be Dos Santos.

The spate of renovations that have occurred in the last days of Barca players 'B' in specifying that next season the first team players will respond to the intent of Pep Guardiola to build the new boat project, the 2012-2013 season, relying again on the quarry as a complement to the cracks that are currently leading the first team. Up to four players who currently have the tab of the subsidiary will play next season in the Primera Division does not change much if the plan has established the coach. It is about Isaac Cuenca, Martin Montoya, Marc Bartra and Sergi Roberto, with the possibility also that Jonathan Dos Santos is the recruit. The Mexican renewed his contract in early December until June 2015, but that does not mean that Barca are thinking about a possible transfer of the player this summer. In fact, one of the players from the reserves with more offers. If the aspirations of the entity that came, it would not be a problem for Guardiola to continue a player who can act both in the center of the field as right back. What has made it clear that the Mexican is if he stays, will play the first team and not the subsidiary.

In all other cases, it also relies heavily on the four to join the staff of the First Division. The first thing to be resolved is the renewal of Isaac Cuenca, contract ending in June 2012 and still has not reached an agreement. The two parties have shown their willingness to fix the issue and once it is achieved, the end will be the first team for all purposes. In the case of Martin Montoya, who extended contract until 2014, will be the alternative to Alves on the right side. His progress has been dramatic and is seen as the winger for the future. As Bartra, his promotion could go endetrimento of Fontan, who is having little prominence. The player at the moment, not think about leaving. One in which much hope is being deposited Roberto Sergi. That is why even be sold to Keita, club officials have decided not to Oriol Romeu playoffs and give opportunities to Reus. The plan is already underway. (via MD)
