Penalty for failure to act in advertisement; Barca prepared for strict measures
La Liga giants Barcelona F.C. have introduced new rules in the team. Reports suggest that the Spanish giants are going to implement the new rules to ensure discipline within and outside the squad and increase commitment to the club.
The management has strictly instructed the players to follow the three new rules introduced by the new team throughout the season.
Two of the three new rules are about celebrities’ use of social media. The main suggestion is not to use social media while participating in team activities. Apart from this, the law also states that no images or posts that affect the club in any way should be shared.
The third condition is that ten percent of the salary of the players will be taken if they do not act in the promotion of the team or in the advertisement that the team is a part of.
Apart from the rules brought by the management, coach Savvy has also devised some rules. Xavi has introduced ten new rules in the team which cover players’ health, team spirit, discipline and pre-match practice sessions.
Spanish outlet AS reported the news about this.
