FC Barcelona started their season with a loss against AS Monaco in the Joan Gamer Trophy on Tuesday. The Blaugranes lost 3-0 against the French side. Hansi Flick has been appointed as the new manager of the club. The German manager will be very worried about how his team performed last night. It will be a point of discussion in the next practice session.
The Catalonian club sacked Xavi in a turmoil of action. Despite his staying order with the club, he was removed from the coaching post. Barca failed to win a single trophy last season. They finished 2nd in the La Liga behind their arch-rivals Real Madrid and got knocked out of the UEFA Champions League as well. Due to this failure in a single season, the former footballer was sacked by the management.
Joan Laporta appointed Hansi Flick as the new coach. With his vision of football, he turned FC Bayern Munich into a monstrous team. They won the sextuple under his managerial ship. However, during the pre-season, the club played well. But in the season’s first game, they failed to have an impact. A loss by a margin of three goals and without a goal being scored will question the whole team’s effort.
FC Barcelona to struggle throughout the season
Will Flick be sacked in the middle of the season? President Joan Laporta needs to understand that the first match of the season does not define how you play throughout the season. There will be some changes in the team as well. Flick has signed Dani Olmo for the upcoming season and he is also targeting Kingsley Coman from Munich. Barca needs players who can deliver in the big matches.
It has been a problem for the club since its star footballer Lionel Messi left the club. He delivered for the club in crucial moments of the game. Flick will need time to settle into the Spanish League and Barca might turn out to be brilliant with his high-pressing and fluid footballing tactics. They will begin their campaign against Valencia on the 18th of August.
