Flick Rings Changes: Barca Faces La Real
18 Jan
Summary
- Hansi Flick reshapes midfield and attack for FC Barcelona's away match.
- FC Barcelona aims for an 11th consecutive victory in La Liga.
- Key players Pedri and Frenkie de Jong start in midfield.
FC Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is preparing to make significant adjustments to his squad's midfield and attack for Sunday night's La Liga encounter against Real Sociedad. The team aims to secure their eleventh consecutive league victory, a club best since 2015, which would extend their lead at the top of the table.
Despite retaining the Spanish Super Cup and advancing in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona will face a challenging atmosphere at Anoeta. Flick's tactical decisions are influenced by unforeseen circumstances, necessitating changes. The defense is expected to remain consistent, featuring Alejandro Balde, Pau Cubarsi, Eric Garcia, and Jules Kounde.
In midfield, a double pivot of Pedri and Frenkie de Jong is anticipated, supporting Dani Olmo in an attacking midfield role. Due to Raphinha's unavailability, Fermin Lopez is likely to feature on the left wing, with Lamine Yamal on the right, and Robert Lewandowski leading the line.
