Two Major Stars Are Dropped From FC Barcelona’s Lineup Against Real Sociedad: Flick Announces

Flick Announces Two Lineups for FC Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad Sizeable Hansi Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, will make adjustments to his attack and midfield when the Catalans travel to Anoeta for a La Liga match against Real Sociedad on Sunday. Unfortunately, this will result in the departure of two prominent players.

As of a fortnight ago, Flick’s team is six points ahead of their bitter rivals Real Madrid in the ranking, a result of significant victories like the 4-0 rout from El Clasico. On Saturday, the German, however, rejected the notion that La Real could be an easy target due to its recent subpar home record during a prematch press conference.

“The counter is always set to zero; every game is unique,” emphasised Flick. “And even more so against Barcelona.” They possess the ability to exert pressure, and the entire stadium will be in their favour. “We are committed to maintaining our concept of playing with and without the ball, which necessitates confidence and possession of the ball.” “It is crucial to generate opportunities and capitalise on them,

In any event, Olmo is anticipated to be transferred from attacking midfield to the left wing as the 17-year-old is granted a rare respite. The front line is completed by Robert Lewandowski, the usual left winger, and Raphinha, who reclaims the right wing position that was previously occupied by Lamine when the La Masia gem advanced to Xavi Hernandez’s

Flick implements additional modifications to the midfield by eliminating Frenkie de Jong from the starting lineup and compensating Fermin Lopez for his impressive performance during the midweek match against Red Star Belgrade by placing him in front of fulcrum Marc Casado and Pedri. Gerard Martin is no longer involved in the defence, as Alejandro Balde has reclaimed his customary position as a left back.

Inigo Martinez and Pau Cubarsi are partnered in central defence, with Jules Kounde, the hat trick king of assists in Belgrade, at right back to aid in safeguarding Inaki Pena’s goal. Balde is accompanied by the usual three men.
