Calendar of FC Barcelona

The landing of Hansi Flick in the bench of the FC Barcelona brings achieve a 'revolution' in the team. The German trainer 'patearía' the board and would have in mind repeat the 4-2-3-1 that carried him to achieve the sextete with the Bayern Munich, as they inform from 'SPORT'.

However, in the Manchester City exerted in a more advanced zone of the field, being key from this position in the achievement of the triplete of the 'skyblues'.

The season is long and Flick will handle both alternatives of agreement to the rival that was in front, with Fermín López as 'covered' to offer a distinct profile to the position. The true is that, in spite of the existent doubts regarding the role of each one, Pedri and Gündogan will be transcendental in the diagram of the German.
