"Since his appointment, the German has transformed the fortunes of the first team and has overseen a squad that has scored more goals in all competitions during his first 105 games in charge (298) than even Pep Guardiola's swashbucklers managed (244)."
"It's the defensive midfield position that is likely the most concerning for the German, given that De Jong has proven time and again that he not only has the skill set to adequately protect his back four, but also the dynamism to break the lines and offer a supplementary presence in attack."
"Pedri is a shoo-in; Fermin and Dani Olmo can rotate, Gavi is ready to return, and Marc Casado has been good if not great when called upon this season."
Hansi Flick is set to remain at Barcelona until 2028, marking his last coaching role. Under his leadership, the team has scored 298 goals in 105 games, surpassing Pep Guardiola's record. While Flick's squad features generational talents like Pedri and Marc Bernal, the midfield remains a concern, especially with Frenkie de Jong's injury. De Jong's experience and skill are crucial for both defense and attack, but Bernal's recent performances present a dilemma for Flick in the defensive midfield position.
