World Sports: Barcelona hopes that the reserve team and the first team will be unified in tactics and increase the physical training intensity of the former

June 29, "World Sports" reported that Barcelona plans to make major adjustments to the preparations for the reserve team in the 2025-26 season.

Barca hopes to strengthen players' strength training to improve the overall level of players, and to this end, it will enhance the physical training team. In addition, the club hopes that tactical unity between the reserve team and the first team can achieve tactical unity so that players can adapt to head coach Flick's tactical system faster when they are promoted to the first team.

Giuliano Beletti will serve as the new head coach of Barcelona reserve team in the 2025-2026 season. The club believes that although the Barcelona reserve team has performed poorly last season, there have also emerged young players such as Ford, Bernal and Gerald Martin to provide strong support to the first team.

However, the club found a key problem, when reserve players were promoted to the first team, their strength and physical fitness levels were significantly insufficient. To overcome this obstacle, the club decided to strengthen the reserve's physical training structure, find an expert who specializes in strength training to assist existing physical coach Julio Tuss, and ensure that the reserve team can get targeted strength training under Beletti's leadership. The goal of the club is to allow the reserve team to adopt the same training methods as the first team, so as to ensure that young players can quickly integrate into the first team when they are called. Specifically, some potential players, such as full-backs Jofrey Tolentz and Landry, wingers Young Virgili and Diyala and front midfielder Pedro Fernandez, will be the focus of training to ensure they are at their best when needed.

In addition, the club hopes that the reserve team will adopt the same tactical style as the first team to reduce the adaptation time of players after being promoted to the first team, thereby improving performance faster. Although it is not yet completely certain, this goal is expected to be achieved due to Beletti's good relationship with football director Deco.
