“It is important because the players are already playing because now it is not a normal preseason. We only have four weeks, not six weeks. It is complicated. What we want to do now is improve physically and in two weeks we will look for more tactics,” he added. said Ronald Koeman in Barcelona’s preparation for the new season.
