"Hansi Flick has been trialling using Jules Kounde in the heart of defence ahead of tonight's big game against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League."
"Kounde is therefore an option to play at center-back along with Araujo and Eric Garcia."
"While Kounde's preferred position is in central defence, he has been mainly used at right-back since moving to Barcelona."
"Flick also used Ronald Araujo at right-back, with Joao Cancelo on the opposite flank."
Hansi Flick is experimenting with Jules Kounde in central defense for an upcoming Champions League match against Atletico Madrid. In a recent closed-door session, Kounde was paired with Gerard Martin as central defenders. Ronald Araujo was positioned at right-back, while Joao Cancelo played on the left. Eric Garcia and Pedri formed the midfield duo, supporting forwards Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, Marcus Rashford, and Robert Lewandowski. Kounde, primarily a right-back since joining Barcelona, may shift back to center-back due to Pau Cubarsi's suspension.
