Well, Hansi Flick is the new coach of Barcelona!
New coach - a breath of fresh air for the squad!
The German top manager could take the Catalans TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL!
Today we will talk about players who may become absolute monsters under the new coach's guidance! Here we go!
You will be especially touched by our bonus pick, one that all Barça fans will find very satisfying!
Ter Stegen
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has been representing the club since the summer of 2014, and has always remained at the top-top level. The 2018/19 season saw Blaugrana supporters calling the German “Messi in goal”, but after that, the goalkeeper's peak was over. He began to flop more and more often during important matches, hardly saving his side in tough situations. The most notable case is the one with Ter Stegen becoming a meme after that legendary tie against Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich.
In other words, one of the coach's main tasks will be to restore the number one's confidence. Luckily, among the assistants the German is going to bring to Barcelona will be the legendary Bayern goalkeeping coach Toni Tapalovic, the man responsible for transforming Manuel Neuer into a monster. So, Barça fans, you may expect a pleasant surprise in the form of a SUPER VERSION OF TER STEGEN!
Araujo
'Hansi Flick will coach the monster he created,' this tweet has collected 59k likes and it says a lot.
In fact, Barça fans are very excited about the partnership between the two and Ronald could indeed emerge as one of the new manager's key performers - Flick wants to play an aggressive style with a high defensive line, where speed is a must-have. By the way, If the German coach also manages to teach the Uruguayan beast something about keeping his temper in check on the football pitch, the world of football may get one of the best centre-backs in the history of the number one game. But hey, there's still a lot of work to do!
Pau Cubarsí
Pau Kubarsi is one of the main discoveries at the end of this season! Xavi fully trusted the talented youngster and he repaid the coach all 200%!
Will Flick treat yesterday's La Masia graduate the same way? YES, YES and YES! The 17-year-old centre-back's profile is perfect for a pairing with Araujo - while Ronald is not too convincing in the build-up, Cubarsi is a genius in this aspect of the game!
Quick transition to attacking phase will be crucial for the newly-minted Blaugrana coach, so Pau's passing could prove to be an even more formidable weapon than it was under Xavi!
Balde
Honestly, after a bright 2022/23 campaign, Alejandro Balde lost a lot of steam - he was only a pale shadow of himself, especially after suffering an injury in January that sidelined him for the rest of the season.
Bringing back the best version of 'Barcelona's Alphonso Davies' has to be a top priority for Hans-Dieter Flick's coaching staff. Balde's explosiveness is similar to the likes of Davies, whom Flick obviously endeared in his time at Bayern. He is already an outstanding athlete, but Flick will definitely take him to another level physically. To put it simply, Barça enthusiasts, be sure to stock up on popcorn, because it will definitely be fun to watch!
Gavi and Pedri
“The quality that Gavi and Pedri have at their ages is fantastic. They have developed very well in Barcelona these last two years,” noted Hansi Flick in 2022, while fans are now tweeting things like this, or even this... Hype is UNREAL, to say the least!
Now it's 2024, and if Gavi was gaining fantastic form under Xavi, being the best player in the team in the fall of the season, when an unfortunate injury knocked him out until October this year; then Pedri's situation is quite opposite - a strong season in 2022/23 was followed by a disastrous one this year, with the Spaniard again getting plagued by injuries...
“If Flick can hone Pedri's physique, he will become a real monster”.
'I'm hyped about Hansi Flick managing Gavi. He will turn him into a force they can't stop,' that's what fans are writing on social media and we can't help but agree with these expectations!
Frenkie de Jong
'Frenkie de Jong under Hansi Flick: no one is ready, he will turn into a WAR MACHINE', Barcelona supporters write despite rumours of the Dutchman's possible departure this summer.
Hansi Flick has always admired Frenkie and his ability to quickly shift the game from defense to attack, therefore, in case de Jong refuses to quit the Spanish giants, we could see an even brighter side of the 27-year-old midfielder - a much faster and more explosive one! Who knows, maybe Barcelona enthusiasts will finally see the BEST VERSION OF FRENKIE DE JONG!
Fermin
Fermín López is the other Barça monster that Xavi Hernández was able to improve: at the end of the season, the guy proved his worth as the regular main roster player and was able to reach 11 goals mark during the season!
