FC Barcelona, under the guidance of their new coach Hansi Flick, will not be adding new midfielders in this summer transfer window. This decision has surprised many, especially following the recent departure of Oriol Romeu, who returned to Girona. During the preseason, Flick has relied on young talents Marc Casadó and Marc Bernal to anchor the midfield, showcasing his commitment to the youth academy and his long-term vision for the team.
The German coach has emphasized a style of play based on high and aggressive pressing. This approach was evident in the preseason, where Flick highlighted the need for courage and cohesion in pressing to achieve success. Despite notable improvements in the second half, the team still has areas that need fine-tuning before the start of the season.
Flick Trusts in FC Barcelona's Youth Academy
The preseason tour, which included matches against top teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and AC Milan, has been positively assessed by Flick. The participation of numerous young players has been a highlight, and the coach has praised the quality and development shown by these players during the preparation. Despite the challenges, Flick remains optimistic and believes his team is on the right track for the league debut in ten days.
Although strengthening the midfield was initially thought to be a priority, Flick has decided not to make additional signings in that area. He trusts that the injured players will return and strengthen the team, giving him confidence in the depth of his squad. Since the departure of Sergio Busquets, Romeu had been the only replacement brought in, and his brief stint at the club ended abruptly. Flick firmly believes in the ability of his current team to overcome the challenges of the upcoming season without the need for new additions in the midfield.
