He Tottenham Hotspur will be Barça’s rival in the trophy John Gamper 2023 next Tuesday August 8th. The club has confirmed the early date and has announced that the game will be played at 8:00 p.m. The duel will serve as the premiere and presentation of the new Barça home at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, the home of the culés until November 2024, and the last test before debuting in the competition with the league premiere on the trip to Getafe (August 13, 9:30 p.m.). A game that will be played behind closed doors after the ruling of the Supreme Court.
will be the last football test for Xavi’s team, who will have played four games on the tour of the United States, and the first exam to gauge how Barça fans and the mountain of Montjuïc before the year and a half of relationship that they will maintain while the works of the Espai Barça last. Although it is the third time that the tournament has been held at the Olympic venue. The precedents (1990 and 1996) were limited only to the event, coinciding with two changes to the pitch at the Camp Nou.
Barça presented months ago the mobility plan, in which the use of the private car will be prohibited. The Camp Nou season ticket holders have not exhausted the seats that the board had reserved for them. Less than 17,000 of the 27,000 calculated. Without being symptomatic, attendance at the match will measure the connection of the fans with the team in the new venue, although the culé tournament, due to the dates, is usually an event with a greater influx of tourists.
Kane and Lenglet’s team
Tottenham’s main attraction remains, as always, Harry Kane, its captain and one of the best scorers in the world. Listed as it is, doubts arise as to whether the club will be able to retain him. Madrid withdrew from the bid, but Bayern Munich has already submitted a second offer after seeing the first one rejected. The vice-captain is Hugo Lloris, the French international goal.
Should feature in the London squad, instead Clement Lenglet. The French defender has been on loan this past season at White Hart Lane, and although he joined Barça’s training sessions, he has done so on a testimonial basis, waiting for both clubs to agree on the final transfer. Xavi has given him leave of absence while negotiations drag on.
Along with them, the names of the Brazilian striker Richarlison or the South Korean Heung-Min Son, who has lost two years due to a change in the laws of his country. Pedro Porro and Sergio Reguilón are the Spanish representation in a multinational squad, where there is also the Brazilian Emerson Royal, briefly passing through Barça. It was presented on August 2, 2021 and transferred before the end of the month.
The biggest novelty, on the other hand, resides on the bench. The Greek-Australian Angelos Postecoglou (57 years old) is the new coach. He signed a four-season contract. The English club relied on the coach who governed Celtic in Glasgow in the last two seasons (he previously spent four at Yokohama Marinos in Japan) to enjoy a certain period of stability after the passing of Antonio Conte.
