Hansi Flick the Barcelona coach is trying to use Raphinha as a 10, more like a supporting striker so the left flanks will be open since Ferran is Yamal’s sub at the right, then there’s Roony B. the new player who also plays the wings. I think there’s going to be a healthy competition amongst this players and this will drive them to always be at their best to get good playing time.
I’m sure Marcus Rashford is gonna see this loan as a lifeline to rekindle his dwindling career and I believe he’ll do well at Barcelona.
It is interesting idea that Hansi Flick might use Raphinha as central attacking player for Barcelona which would open up left side of field. Since Lamine Yamal is likely main right winger with Ferran Torres as backup left wing seems to have more room for new players. Arrival of Roony B. if he is new winger means there will be strong competition for these wide spots which should push all players to perform better. Also your thought that Marcus Rashford would see loan to Barcelona as chance to revive his career makes sense. New start at big club like Barcelona with coach like Flick could be exactly what he needs to regain his form and confidence as he clearly has talent.
