Flick has his reasons for going for Rashford when Raphinha was one of his best players for last season now both players can not start a the same time but who knows if Raphinha is not feet like last season that could be the reason why Rashford is in the picture already it could also be that they need a younger player that could replace him at Barcelona so that it will not be difficult for them when his contract expires with the team and they are not willing to offer him another contract because of his age. Raphinha should be a regular starter if his feet but the coach will have the final say as for who getsore playing time among the players.
Rashford is a skillful player , no one doubts about that. Even then , Rashford is not likely to find a place in Barcelona's best XI. Raphinha, lewandowski and yamal have played very well in the last season. And hansi fLick will not want to break this trio. This will create the possibility of Barcelona's overall performance being unstable. An experienced coach like Flick will not want to take this risk.
We are considering rashford as a replacement for Raphinha. But why do not we think that Rashford is actually lewandowski's replacement? Lewa is almost 37 years old now. Although his fitness is good , it is still a very difficult task for Lewa to play a full season without injury at the age of 37. This is probably why rashford has been added to the squad. Rashford will probably be used as a replacement for Lewandowski.
