Carles Puyol starts new job
Monday was Carles Puyol’s first day of his new position at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The new assistant director of sport arrived at the offices for a meeting with the man he’ll be working most closely with, Andoni Zubizarreta.
After being shown around the offices and introduced to the other members of the department, Puyol joined Zubizarreta out on the training field, where they watched Luis Enrique and his players preparing Wednesday’s Champions League opener against Apoel. The last time Puyol attended a session was on September 3, although there were very few first team players around at the time due to international commitments.
Saturday in the stadium
Puyol was also at the Camp Nou last weekend to watch the game with Athletic Bilbao along with Zubizarreta in the presidential box.ponedjeljak, 25. kolovoza 2014.
Dream debut for Munir
The 18 year old marked his official first team debut with a goal
Afterwards, he described the experience as a ‘dream’
Afterwards, he described the experience as a ‘dream’
The presence of Munir el Haddadi in Luis Enrique’s starting line-up was one of the talking points of tonight’s game with Elche. The youngster was simply outstanding. He issued his first warning after 22 minutes with a shot onto the crossbar, and for the remainder of the first half provided plenty of examples of his sublime skill and natural gift for losing his marker.
If he’d looked good in the first 45 minutes, the second half couldn’t have got off to a better start. With his first touch of the ball, he collected a pass from Rakitic and struck home with the kind of elegance few would expect of a player so young. He was replaced in the 66th minute, and the crowd responded with a rousing ovation.
"I’ll keep working for more chances”
After the game, Munir said that “I am so proud to have scored at the Camp Nou with Messi and so many other great players around me. I’m very happy. It was a dream come true to play with them … Luis Enrique has told me to keep doing what I do, and so I’ll keep working for more chances. He tells us to work hard and get better every day. He’s a great manager.”
The striker also confessed that he’d not been able to sleep the night before the game because he was so excited about being named in the team. He then talked through the big moment of the night – his goal. “It came because if you keep losing your marker, sometimes you get there” he said. “I saw the goalkeeper was off his line and just chipped the ball”. A strikingly humble response after scoring such an astounding goal on his first team debut!
Preseason top scorer
Munir had already shown us what a talent he is by finishing the preseason as the team’s highest goalscorer. He scored two in Helsinki and then did likewise against Club Leon at the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The French player of Valencia was a top priority of the Catalan club to strengthen its defense. The transaction was closed on 20 million euros, exactly what the club 'che' had demanded from the outset. The only controversy lay in the method of payment. While the club proposed to do it in four installments Valencia in Mestalla require the disbursement of 20 'kilos' is cash. In the end, both clubs have reached an agreement in this regard.
The curious case that the player has embarked Valencia this morning with the rest of his teammates headed to Madrid, heading to Peru, but the player is stuck in Madrid and has not taken the flight to Lima to be formalized recruitment for the club.

Adriano Correia was absent after it was announced yesterday that an abnormal heart rhythm was detected in his medical on Monday, and Rafa Alcántara is also side-lined with a bruised big toe. Luis Enrique continued using work with the ball as one of the main elements of his training schedule.
Cristian Tello, who started the week training with the first team, has now left to go on loan to Porto for two seasons.
