The new La Liga season has not started yet but the narrative that is developing seems to put Hansi Flick under heavy pressure, it is understandable that this is all due to the ideal squad owned by Madrid and the financial crisis experienced by Barcelona. We have seen Barcelona able to win the La Liga trophy despite experiencing difficulties, at the same time Madrid also has better squad depth, who knows Hansi Flick can be as lucky as Xavi. The possibility will still exist, even though we know the chances of it happening are very low. However, we must also admit that only Barcelona can be relied on to challenge Madrid dominance.
I pity Flick for signing up with Barcelona, I'm not sure how he is going to deliver for Barcelona when Real Madrid actually have one of the best mix up players in Real Madrid right now, even Laporta cried of Real Madrid monopoly of trying to have all the best players citing reference to Mbape deal they made successfully. Now, Xavi did all his best and yet Barcelona wasn't appreciative for all he did and Flick think he can turn water to win in Laliga is going to hung on his neck very soon.
On the other hand, regarding Barcelona efforts to increase squad depth, I believe there are many ways to make it happen, including releasing several players who have not contributed much such as Vitor Roque and recruiting Nico Williams. I think Hansi Flick should prioritize overhauling the defense line first rather than the front line, because if we refer to last season statistics, the number of goals conceded by Barcelona in one season was quite high. Therefore, we will see how Barcelona management deals with difficulties while trying to increase strength to face next season.
I'm looking forward to how they are going to utilize Yamal, Xavi didn't used him like he performed in international games but a mixed up of him and Lewandowski will help the forward maintain a good record in many of their matches this season. Flick should also strengthen his hands to the midfield and not just the defenders and lastly a new goal keeper wouldn't be bad. Sometimes, you don't just go far by scoring goals alone, you need a good goalkeeper to help you maintain a clean sheet.
