Barça's Kimmich makes it clear that he feels prepared to fight

For a long time now, Marc Casadó has worked hard to earn a place in the first team. The player has been between Barça Atlètic and the first team for a couple of years, but until now he had not had a real opportunity to make the definitive leap. Now, the footballer is focused on convincing the new coach, Hansi Flick, to earn a place alongside the club's stars. The 20-year-old wants to show the coach that he can be very useful on the field. 

FC Barcelona has been in need of a midfielder for years and now, with the departure of Sergi Roberto, who was the wild card for the midfield and the full-back, a role player is also going to be missing. The culés tried to go to the market in search of someone 'top', Joshua Kimmich being one of their favorites, but the German turned out to be too expensive. Just like in 2023, when they were also interested in him, this summer they also had to give up on his incorporation due to an economic issue. What perhaps not many know is that for the Barcelona locker room, there is already a Kimmich at the Camp Nou.

Casadó brought humor with his nickname

The culé first team players call Marc Casadó, Joshua Kimmich. Alejandro Balde was the first to discover this and this past Thursday the midfielder himself opened up about this curious nickname. "They say that physically I look a little like him. Last season I ended up playing at right back and midfielder, like him. The joke is inside the locker room, they put it on the internet and now you see," he said, laughing. Now it remains to be seen if he is truly capable of approaching the German's brutal level.
