From next Monday all First Division teams have already begun pre-season
14 of the 20 First Division teams have already begun pre-season and the remaining 6 will begin on Monday, July 19.
All teams will begin the pre-season with all players except those who have played the World Cup in South Africa. Such players will be added later on the following dates:
Real Madrid - August 2
Sevilla - August 2
Valencia - August 3
FC Barcelona - August 9
Thus, players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Xavi Alonso, Ramos, Luis Fabiano, Pique, Puyol, Xavi, Iniesta, Villa and Messi, among others, will enjoy two to three weeks extra holiday.
But the expectations of fans of all clubs is that the season starts early to purchase tickets when they are on sale, to attend the matches and cheer on their idols.
