🔵🔴SECOND PRE SEASON MATCH REVIEW 🔵🔴
🔴⚫FC SEOUL 3 : 🔵🔴 FC BARCELONA 7
Considering our current situation, what concerns should we address after two matches, and what would be the most effective lineup for the decider match? There are several uncertainties, but if someone inquired about my primary concern, I would say it's our defense line, rather than signings and registrations. 🫣🙁
Hansi Flick has demonstrated his trust in Araujo. However, after observing today's match, his performance was subpar, in my opinion. Christensen showcased his class, but he struggled to maintain the high defensive strategy, which led to Jung Han-min's goal in the 85th minute. Following today's and the previous match, I'm astonished by Cubarsi's mistakes, particularly in one-on-one situations. La Masia has once again provided us with a talented left-back in Jofre Torrents, who excelled in all aspects. Nevertheless, Barcelona should consider releasing Gerard Martin and Hector Fort as soon as possible, despite Fort's decent performance today. However, they will be unprepared when faced with actual challenges. 😳🤯
Today's three goals highlighted our potential vulnerabilities, and such mistakes in the UCL or decider games will have severe consequences. 🥶
Pedri and De Jong have formed an effective partnership, and they are the primary architects of our gameplay. It's encouraging to see Gavi gradually regaining his confidence. On the other hand, 🤗
Olmo's performance was concerning, with mistakes, fumbles, poor passing accuracy, and questionable decision-making when attempting to score. 😱
Lamine scored two goals today, but I felt he was indecisive about whether to shoot or pass. 😵💫
Raphinha needs attention and should work on overcoming his rustiness. 😴
Lewandowski had a good game, as he provided support when required, engaging with other players effectively.💪
Rashford and Bardghji need to be more involved in one-on-one passes and should not remain stationary, as this has led to missed scoring opportunities. They should focus on supporting the defenders. 🏃
Farran Torres and Eric Garcia are excellent as super subs, and both have demonstrated brilliance. 🤘
Guille and Toni Fernandez have shown promise but need to wait for their opportunity to play for the Barcelona main team.🫷
In my opinion, our starting lineup should consist of: GK - Joan Garcia, LB - Balde, CB - Martinez, CB - Cubarsi, RB - Kounde, DM - Pedri, DM - De Jong, LW - Yamal, AM - Raphinha or Fermine, RW - Rashford or Raphinha, and ST - Lewandowski. 🤔💭👏💬
