From sensational Lamine Yamal, who recently won the Golden Boy award in 2024, to Pau Cubasi, among the candidates to win the next one, Barcelona has a team for the future.
Marc Casado has also been prominent in the Hansi Flick system since pre-season and took over well from Marc Bernal, another promising youngster who was injured just a few games into the season.
In the absence of De Jong, Marc Casado has performed brilliantly, making him a regular starter in Hansi Flick’s starting XI.
Hansi Flick on Starting Frenkie
After returning from the injury, Frenkie de Jong appears to have recently cemented his place in Hansi Flick’s starting XI and forced Marc Casado onto the sidelines.
Hansi Flick was asked about the two midfielders after a crucial win over Rayo and explained why he’s currently going with De Jong.
“No. He [Casado] has not done anything wrong. I am also speaking Casa at the moment, it is like this because Frenkie is doing well, he also gives a good level in ball possession and moments. This we need, at the moment it’s like this, Frenkie starts, but Casa is also doing good,” he told reporters.”
