Soccer Training Tips

When you approach the stadium on match days there is a real buzz in the air with fans of all ages making their way to the all-seater stadium, the famous Nou Camp, which can hold up to 98,000 spectators. Football is family entertainment in Spain and the fans may consist of die hard supporters in the 20s, middle-aged couples, grandparents with their grandchildren, kids birthday parties – you can see it all. So, make sure you have bought FC Barcelona tickets before you go!

And when the match kicks off that excitement spills over and becomes uncontained. The passion and excitement create an atmosphere that is electric – and if you’re a football fan going to see Barça play is a must, particularly at the moment with such a great and successful team.

The 2010-11 season was an extraordinary one for FC Barcelona despite not achieving the treble of 2009 – the Copa del Rey went to arch rival Real Madrid instead.

As I write this the season is over and we’re counting down the (many) days until the season gets going again and the transfer window is open.

 I’m sure though that one of the reason’s for such success lies in the World Cup win for Spain in South Africa in 2010. The squad was made up of a core of Barça players, who must surely have started the 2010/11 season fired up from that win.

That translated into win after win with a huge goal tally and even Real Madrid, a team never to be underestimated, was demolished against the might of Barcelona, who completely humiliated them with a 5-0 win at the Santiago Bernabeu stadium in November.
For a time scoring 5 goals seemed to be par for the course but they peaked with an 8-0 awaqy win against Almerica. Of course that kind of run could not last, but it does show how much Barcelona dominated the season.

Barcelona’s success is at least partially due to their high possession that comes from knowing each other’s play intimately and extremely high levels of fitness. Their game is beautiful to match, consisting of pass after pass while they control the pace and position of the ball; and when an opportunity opens up it is the trinity of Xavi, Iniesta and Messi that often makes things happen.

He can create moments of pure magic, whether they work out or not and always makes entertaining football. And while Carles Puyol has been out for some time due to injury he has recently undergone further surgery and expected to recover within 2 months, well in time for the start of the 2011/12 season.

Naturally Barcelona’s fans are appreciative of all that. Matches often take place in a party like atmosphere as great play and hopefully great results melt away everyone’s problems in life into the background for the 90 minutes of play for what for some is a quasi religious experience. If you’d like to experience the same you can buy FC Barcelona tickets online in advance. That way you avoid disappointment and get to see one of the best football teams in the world today.

In this article we’re going to take a look at why you should visit the beautiful Mediterranean city of Barcelona to coincide with the Spanish League season 2011-2012 and order FC Barcelona tickets in advance to see one of the best football teams in the world.

The top two teams in Europe faced each other at the end of May 2011 for the final of the Champions League, which took place at Wembley. However, FC Barcelona completely dominated the match and although they took the first 10 minutes of the match to get into their stride they beat Manchester United 3-1.

How long can Barça stay at he top of their game?

However, it is uncertain how much longer Pep Guardiola will want to stay at Barça and whether a Barça squad under a new coach will be able to perform to the standard they currently display.

Guardiola is thoroughly Barça as he played in Johan Cruyff’s “Dream Team” and coached the Barça B team before being offered the job of coaching the main squad. While he may have ties to the club that go deep, he has already stated that he wouldn’t want to stay at any club too long, pointing out Sir Alex Ferguson as an example; he’s been at Man Utd for 25 years.

It is therefore perfectly understandable for Pep Guardiola to want to look for challenges outside the club, somewhere where he can apply his considerable managerial talents to built up a team and give them the same kind of winning streak he has done while Barça’s coach. Next season, which starts in August 2011, running through to May 2012, could well be, therefore, Pep Guardiola’s last with FC Barcelona. It could also be the last opportunity to see them play as the best team of the world as a change in the coach could be the end of their current domination.

For your chance to see one of the best Barça squads ever order FC Barcelona tickets in advance. While the Spanish League won’t be drawn until July there are two clasicos coming up when Barça faces Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercup in August – keep an eye out for tickets.
