According to a report in the Daily Sports on December 5, Barcelona intends to arrange for the team to play friendly matches abroad in the near future, but Harvey opposes this. He does not want the team to travel long distances, but prefers to stay in Barcelona for training before the La Liga rematch.
It is reported that Barcelona have communicated with several clubs about arranging friendly matches, including talking with Arsenal about the match at Emirates Stadium on December 17, and the option of playing Juventus in Turin on the 22nd is also under consideration. but Xavi doesn’t want to face the two teams, first, he doesn’t want the team to take a long trip, and second, he thinks the warm-up match is best arranged after all the players in the World Cup return. This makes it easier for the team to regain the pace of the game.
This year is the first time that the World Cup is scheduled to be held in winter. None of the clubs has experienced the current situation, and it remains to be seen how Barcelona will arrange their work before the La Liga rematch.
