Barcelona’s first football team lost the Juan Gamper Cup final match to French Monaco 3-0, for the first time Barcelona has lost this tournament in 12 years.
German coach Hansi Flick spoke after the match, saying: In the end, we are in the pre-season. I know that the team can play much better than it played today, and we will improve against Valencia. We have to learn from this match.
According to information received from the Sport newspaper, Flick is very angry after the Monaco match because of Barcelona’s inability to get rid of the team’s trio to finance the deals that the team needs to compete strongly in the new season.
The newspaper added that Hansi Flick wants the Spanish winger Ferran Torres to leave immediately because he is not convinced of the player’s potential, and warns Laporta against keeping the player because he does not want to rely on him in the new season.
The newspaper added that Brazilian Vitor Roque is the second player that Flick wants to get rid of because the German coach believes that the player does not have the necessary level to play with a team the size of Barcelona.
The newspaper added that French defender Clement Lenglet is the third player that Flick wants to sell and expel from the team this summer due to his lack of confidence in the player’s poor level.
The newspaper indicated that Flick is urging Laporta to quickly finalize the contract with Spanish winger Neco Williams and warns of a disastrous season awaiting Barcelona if the contract with this player fails.
The newspaper concluded that today’s Monaco match is a warning bell for Barcelona, which, if it does not remedy the situation, will repeat the scenario of last season.
