In the City Condal is especulando increasingly on how Hansi Flick will attain to implant his style of game in the FC Barcelona of face to the next season. For this, varied have tried to establish parallelisms between the current staff of the combined Barcelona and the Bayern of Flick of the campaign 2019/20, looking for associate some names that fit in the idea of the native of Heidelberg in the combined Bavarian with players that at present are in the changing room culé.

As it has commented in 'SPORT', the one of Baden-Wurtemberg could see in Pedri González to a similar player to Jamal Musiala, to the one who had in his moment in the 'Die Roten' when it was very young and improved him giving him a lot of freedom inside the terrain of game. In this point, the one of Tegueste could have this same impact if it gives him greater leadership in offensive works, since it is a very creative footballer able to cause estragos in the last third of the field, thanks to his vision of game and capacity to endow of good occasions of goal to the forwards with authentic details of special and differential player.

Flick Would see to Pedri exerting works of mediapunta

Under this premise, the German technician could consider give him to the '8' Barcelona a more advanced position like mediapunta, more near of the rival arch, in place to use it like interior a bit more retarded as it did it Xavi Hernández. This approach has felt if it takes into account that Hansi Flick is used to to employ a tactical diagram of 4-2-3-1 and could have the intention to implement this tactical distribution in the eleven headline of the combined Catalan

With this idea in mind, Pedri would play behind Robert Lewandowski, the one who would be the '9' reference of the team. The extremes would be Lamine Yamal by the right-handed band and, for now, if there is not new incorporations neither low, Raphinha by the left. Completing the medullary zone, there would be a double pivote formed by İlkay Gündoğan and Frenkie of Jong, unless it make the addition of Joshua Kimmich, in whose case would occupy one of the two places.

It is necessary to remember that in the Bayern of Flick, the diagram 4-2-3-1 explained also with 'Lewy' as centrodelantero, Thomas Muller like mediapunta, Serge Gnabry in the left side and Leroy Sané in the right band. The double pivote was composed by Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, showing the need to have a mediocentro more technical and another more physical and defensive.

Fermín López, another option to take into account

Now it will be necessary to see how Hansi Flick attains to implement his idea of game in the FC Barcelona, taking into account that, although Pedri is the favourite to exert the paper of mediapunta, Fermín López also has showed conditions to do it, especially by his remarkable capacity to arrive to the area showed recently. Besides, the exentrenador of the Hoffenheim also will have to manage of the most optimum way the options to give him time of game to all the midfield players that has to disposal, remembering that it has several talents of first level in this zone of the field and will have to distribute the loads of game of way equitativa.
