Hansi Flick, the coach of the Spanish club Barcelona, is preparing to make tactical changes before the anticipated match against Young Boys in the Champions League tonight.
These preparations come after the heavy defeat suffered by the team against Osasuna at El Sadar Stadium, as the German coach seeks to restore confidence to the players by maintaining a strong lineup with the possibility of making some changes.
According to information received from the Catalan newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, one of the most prominent players nominated to participate is Ansu Fati, who has not played a prominent role in the last three matches.
Despite his absence from the starting lineup, Flick knows that Fati needs to regain his competitive rhythm to be effective again, and the match against Young Boys seems like an ideal opportunity to give him the opportunity to prove himself and regain confidence, as his speed and skill may contribute to penetrating the Swiss team’s defense.
On the other hand, Flick intends to rest Robert Lewandowski, who played a large number of minutes at the beginning of the season, as Flick is aware of the importance of keeping Lewandowski in good shape for the upcoming matches, especially the Clasico against Real Madrid, so his plan may include using Fati as a striker or trying out other players in this role.
The possibility of Ansu Fati starting raises great anticipation among Barcelona fans, who hope that the academy star will regain his level after a period of difficulties due to injuries and lack of continuity, and this match may be a decisive turning point for him, especially if he succeeds in exploiting Flick’s confidence through an outstanding performance.
In conclusion, it seems that Barcelona cannot tolerate more failures, whether in the Spanish League or in the Champions League, and Flick seeks to achieve the ideal balance between maintaining the players’ competitiveness and making the necessary adjustments, and the confrontation with Young Boys will be a real test in this context.
