Mundo Deportivo reported that everyone inside Barcelona was impressed by the physical condition that the new goalkeeper Szczesny showed in the Catalan club’s training.
Barcelona had announced the signing of Szczesny until the end of the season to replace the first-choice goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who is expected to be absent for 8 months.
Barcelona’s signing of the Polish goalkeeper came less than two months after his retirement from football, which raised many question marks about his physical condition.
But according to recent reports, since his first appearance in Barcelona’s training, it has become clear that the 34-year-old is in great physical and fitness condition, and there is no concern for him or him at all.
Szczesny is so excited about the Barcelona experience that after basic training he goes to the gym in the hope of improving his fitness even more and regaining his goalkeeping sensitivity.
Inside Barcelona, there is a clear belief that Szczesny can play as a starter immediately.
Hansi Flick has not yet decided who will start in goal for Barcelona, although it is expected that Iñaki Peña will continue to guard the Catalans’ goal even after the international break.
