Good news for FC Barcelona, since both Deco and Hansi Flick are working together to draw up the first details of the culé club's renewed sports project. They are focusing both on the absences and on the physical preparation of the squad
The 'was Hansi Flick' already begins to give his first steps in the FC Barcelona. The native of Heidelberg had this Tuesday his first meeting of work with Deco in the installations of the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper, presumably with the aim to begin to define several points on the sportive planning of the club culé, in addition to adjusting postures and take decisions in his new and ilusionante sportive project.
In principle, as it informed in 'SPORT', since by the moment the subject of incorporations seems to be in 'standby' been due to diverse conditions, the priority of this 'tandem' is goes through to concretise exits of the Barcelona picture of face to the next season. From the City Condal apparently wants to have this clear point before the start of the pre-season, so that when this begin, these players no longer form part of the dynamics of the team and have the opportunity of already be assimilated in his new destinations futbolísticos or, in his defect, have capacity to explore his options with tranquility.
In this point, there are names that seem to have his future in the quite directed institution, as it is the case of Marcos Alonso. Nevertheless, there are other cases that present like an authentic 'quebradero of head' for the club, as the ones of Clément Lenglet and Sergiño Dest, those who return of his respective cessions this summer and go back to pose the 'serial' on his goodbye. Especially the case of the American side complicates even more because of his injury, what hampers to think in a favourable exit by means of a traspaso.
The 'overbooking' in the saga culé
To his time, another appearance to consider regarding the exits is that the club has to reflexionar if finally it will opt for making some sale in the defensive zone, since there is a remarkable 'overbooking' of defenders. It would not be surprising that, taking into account that there will be until eight defenders (Ronald Araújo, Pau Cubarsí, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen, Iñigo Martínez, Eric García, Clément Lenglet and possibly Mika Faye), at least two of them sack of the team this summer.
After this, there are other names like Ansu Fati, Julián Araujo and even Álex Fence in, whose future will be determined clearly by his exert in the pre-season and the evaluation of Hansi Flick on if they fit or no in his sportive project. In contrary case, is likely that consider a new loan or, depending on an attractive offer, even a traspaso definite.
The physical preparation of the staff
To close, a detail no less important is to finalise the definition of the 'roster' definite of preparadores physical headed by Julio Tous. This point will purchase a still greater importance with the arrival of the German trainer, since Flick is very demanding regarding the state of his players. His tactical approach, that involves a lot of pressure and intense game, requires that his footballers are in a flawless physical condition to carry out it and, of course, to warn injuries.
