The team, in the USA for the preseason tour, started with rondos and a new activation exercise

FC Barcelona's first team is already training in Miami. On Sunday morning (local time), the team held its first training session on the green field of the Inter Miami CF sports city, the MLS team that has given its facilities to the Spanish club to prepare for its tour in the United States.

The tour will begin with a match against Inter Miami, owned by David Beckham, on July 19 at 20:00 hours - which in Spain would be the 20th at 02:00 hours (CET) in the morning- at the DRV PNK Stadium, home of the American team. The training session on Sunday was led by Óscar Hernández, assistant coach of Xavi's technical staff, as his brother was unable to travel to the United States due to visa problems, arising due to his time as a coach in Qatar.

The training session began with some rondos, and then the technical team prepared a novel activation exercise in which the players had to touch the ball against the crossbar from the front of the area. They worked through the process, being relieved one by one until only one was left. Surprisingly, the last players to try it were Pedri and Aubameyang.
