Hansi Flick will be one of the world’s happiest coaches following this team’s dominant game against Real Sociedad. The young team understands what he demands from them, and each position is putting up a show of incredible performance with goals and assists.
One of the signs that shows a team is ready to compete for titles is when even the defenders are scoring while the attacking options seem to be out of spark, and such is the case with Barcelona.
Hansi Flick provided an update on the absence of a key player in today’s clash.
Flick Updates on Gavi Illness Ahead of Benfica Clash
After the interesting game against Real Sociedad, Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick commented on the absence of Gavi from the starting XI and even as a substitute.
In the post-match press conference, Hansi Flick said, “Gavi had a fever, he was very hot. We said it wasn’t worth it for him to play today. That is why Olmo started.”
After rotating some regular players, Barcelona is looking to have relaxed first-team players ready for the Benfica clash in the UEFA Champions League round of 16.
Gavi and Olmo appear to be ahead of Fermin for the number 10 position at Barcelona, and with Olmo returning from injury, it remains to be seen if he will be the best option for Hansi Flick or if Gavi will continue ahead of his compatriot.
