Europa Press, E-Noticies Hansi Flick says enough, it's over, he prepares 2 crucial changes after the break: 'Let's play'
The coach has had to make a decision, and Barça fans are celebrating it: it's imminent
Barça aren't managing to keep the consistency that was desired at the start of the season. Injuries have affected Hansi Flick's plan since the first month of competition, forcing him to improvise in key positions. This situation has directly impacted the team's collective performance, especially in matches where freshness and intensity make the difference.
The German coach has insisted in several press conferences that the problem isn't attitude, but availability. Hansi Flick has seen how the Barça infirmary has been fuller than expected, with key footballers sidelined. However, the coach has made it clear that the international break will be a turning point for the team.
The return of two essential players for Hansi Flick
After several matches filled with doubts and inconsistent play, Barça will face the return of competition with very positive news. Hansi Flick will get Joan García and Raphinha back, two footballers who can change the immediate course of the Catalan team. Both are considered key pieces by the German coach, who trusts them to bring balance and dynamism back to the team.
Joan García, who has missed the last 9 matches due to injury, will return to the starting line-up in goal. During his absence, Szczesny has shown that he's light-years away from the Spanish goalkeeper, as he has conceded 17 goals in just 9 matches. Therefore, Joan's return to the starting line-up is a huge relief for Barça fans, but also a major boost to the team's aspirations.
Meanwhile, the return of Raphinha is seen as a true injection of attacking energy. The Brazilian, who has been sidelined for over a month, will work intensely during the break to return at 100% and earn a spot in the starting eleven again. His dribbling, speed, and aggressiveness in direct duels are resources that Barça have missed greatly in recent matches.
Raphinha and Joan García are back
Flick is determined to radically change the team's dynamic after the break with Joan García and Raphinha in the starting line-up. The German coach knows that the upcoming matches will set the course for the season. Barça must compete with intensity again, but above all, regain the confidence and identity that define them.
With Joan García and Raphinha as luxury reinforcements, Hansi Flick trusts the team will take a step forward. In LaLiga, the Catalans are just three points behind Real Madrid. With the reinforcements on the way, the excitement is at its peak for the next stretch of the season.
