These are your first clues.
flip ownership returned to Ferran Torres. This has not happened to the player in a long time. The danger of Raphinha both in midfield and on the wing. That too Eric He has more options in midfield than as a center back. During the substitutions, the German coach also announced some decisions. Like what? Gerard Martin is the substitute for bucket on the left side and that Pau Victor He enjoys your trust, even if you don’t give him all the minutes he wants.
The purpose
Ter Stegen, of course
There is no debate on the goal for another season. Ter Stegenwith more than 400 games and 10 seasons at Barça, remains undisputed. It remains to be resolved whether Hansi Flick will play Iñaki Peña in other contests like cup wave Spanish Super Cup from Saudi Arabia.
Right behind
Koundé and an unknown
In two official matches, Koundé started on the right, completing all the minutes. Neither Héctor Fort nor Alex Valle, who played at a good level in preseason at left back, had any chances. The Cancel option is complicated a few days before the market closes.
The central ones
Iñigo Martínez and Cubarsí, guarantee for now
Pau Cubarsí and Iñigo Martínez have been a couple so far this season, playing at a good level and appearing sober. Flick has other options such as Ronald Araujo and Christensen, who is now injured, and Eric García.
left back
Bucket and Gerard Martín
Hansi Flick lined up Balde in both official Barça matches. The youth squad left the injury that prevented him from playing in the second half of last season. His replacement was Gerard Martí, who has replaced him until now. Alex Valle was called up to replace him but Flick wasn’t giving him minutes.
The double pivot
Casadó and Bernal answered
Hansi Flick’s tandem partner Marc and Marc Bernal got married during the preseason and on the first day of LaLiga. Against Athletic, he tried Pedri instead of Casadó. The two young players responded but as they recovered, they could take turns.
The extreme
Lamine and Ferran, in the same game
With no one signed and Ansu Fati injured, the German coach opted to repeat with Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal. Both performed at a good level, although the young player became more accurate and a goalscorer. Raphinha, also a starter but as a playmaker, played at the end of the game on the right (Valencia) and on the left (Athletic).
The midfielder
Raphinha, with solvency and performance
Raphinha always plays as a starter in midfield and shows all his danger, becoming a very important player. He gave the game and was a constant danger. Pedri is his opponent. With the recovery of the players and the arrival of Olmo and Gavi, we will see what role awaits him
The center forward
Lewandoeski, undisputed scorer
If anyone is indisputable, besides Ter Stegen, it is Lewandowski. The Polish striker has three goals in two games, which is becoming important. Pau Víctor had no choice but to wait for his turn.
