One of Barcelona’s biggest finds last season was the emergence of Gerard Martin as a quality central defensive option, especially in La Liga games.
The Spaniard, who began his first-team career as a left-back, developed into a central defensive partner to Pau Cubarsi and finished the season as first choice for Flick.
Although he still has his critics, Martin’s development has been inspiring. Now, the Spaniard is not treating the summer as a time to switch off completely.
According to SPORT, the Barcelona defender has shortened his holidays and has already spent more than three weeks working individually to arrive in the best possible shape for pre-season.
Martin has been following a specific plan at Dr Juan Boffa’s Sports Medicine Clinic after spending a few days away in Mallorca and Greece.
