New Barca manager Xavi is wasting no time in enforcing his strict rules onto the players. His list of rules has been communicated to players – but not everyone has taken them seriously enough. French winger Ousmane Dembele is the first to earn himself a fine!According to Xavi’s regulations, all players should arrive to training an hour and a half before the actual session starts. It’s meant to improve the team spirit in the camp. And it goes for every single player – including those who are injured. Even players who aren’t fit enough to train are integral parts of the squad and Xavi wants them to participate in every way possible while they’re recovering.Xavi’s revolution: New rules, new diet, new physios, new players in JanuaryDembele was supposed to arrive by 8.30 hours on Friday morning, but he was three minutes late. Not good enough. Unacceptable! Since it was his first offence, he was fined ‘only’ 100 euros (around KSh12,796) but if he makes another similar offence, the fine would double every time. According to journalists who watched as players and the staff arrived to Ciutat Esportiva, Barcelona’s training centre, boss Xavi was the first to arrive at 7.52 hours, while Ansu Fati was the first player to make it through the entrance. ##NAJAVA_MECA_5974047##The revolution has started – and Dembele’s first to feel its effects.
