Shocking Barcelona dressing-room revelations: Balde feels let down by Flick as Cancelo steps in to defend him!

Fresh revelations from inside the Barcelona dressing room have shed light on another side of Alejandro Balde’s difficult situation with head coach Hansi Flick, as questions continue to surround the Spanish full-back’s role and future at the club amid his reduced involvement.

According to journalist Ferran Martínez of Mundo Deportivo, Balde feels disappointed with the way Flick has handled his situation. The defender had expected the coach to speak to him directly and honestly about his position, just as he had done with some of his teammates before the transfer window closed.

The report claims that Flick spoke directly with Marc Casadó and Héctor Fort, informing them that they would not be given playing time. Balde, however, did not receive the same explanation. Instead, the messages he received about his situation came through the coach’s press conferences, leaving him frustrated.

Balde has not been without support inside the dressing room, however. Portuguese defender João Cancelo is reportedly one of his strongest supporters, with the report revealing that Cancelo once stepped in to defend his teammate in front of Flick.

Cancelo was not the only player to stand up for Balde. The report also describes how another influential member of the squad, who enjoys a close relationship with the German coach, defended the Spanish full-back during a training session after Flick asked him to switch positions with Balde.

These revelations highlight the tension surrounding Balde’s situation at Barcelona. The defender is still looking to regain his place in the team, while his relationship with Flick and the way his situation has been handled remain key talking points regarding his future at the club.
