Garcia is confirmed as Barcelona s starting left center back. This is Flick forcing the management to buy someone.

Although after the Spanish National Derby, many Barcelona stars and even Real Madrid stars (such as Kroos) bluntly stated that it was unwise for Barcelona to use Garcia as the starting central defender. However, Flick seems willing to continue to trust this central defender. Garcia will continue to appear as the starting left central defender in the following La Liga games.

Flick's purpose in doing this may not really be because he likes Garcia, but to use practical actions to ask the Barcelona management to spend money to buy a left-footed central defender in the winter window.

Although Garcia is not tall, he has major flaws in turning speed and flexibility. His advantage is that he has good skills. Even if he plays on the left side, he still has the ability to dribble the ball forward and pass the ball.

Especially for Barcelona, ​​De Jong is a midfielder. He is good at protecting the ball but not good at delivering it. If Araujo is used, it is likely that De Jong will choose to pass back after being pressed, causing Araujo to make a mistake. Kubasi and Garcia start at center back together, which can ensure the smoothness and stability of the ball in the backcourt.

Originally, it seemed that Araujo would be a more reasonable choice to partner with Cubasi. However, because Cubasi is not good at playing left center back, this will greatly weaken his ball advantage and at the same time amplify the problem that he is not good at using his left foot on the defensive end. Therefore, Barcelona would rather give up Araujo and let Cubasi move to the right center back position where he is relatively good at.

However, Araujo was unable to serve as left center back due to technical limitations, and Christensen was unable to play due to repeated injuries, so Garcia started continuously. Flick's approach is also sending a signal to Barcelona's management: it is imperative to buy a left-footed central defender in the winter window.

After all, Flick's central defender is not essentially for defensive services. His central defender needs a strong ability to play the ball, and secondly, he needs a wider range of running and flexibility. He can adapt to more radical tactics and does not need low defense.

So technology and consciousness are higher than defensive ability and physical confrontation, and this will also be the focus of the next selection.

With Barcelona's record declining, Flick needs more fresh blood in the team. Even if Barcelona is currently in financial constraints, it still needs to give Flick enough support if it wants its results to improve.

In particular, the defender he wants may not be very expensive, but he just needs to have a good enough vision to find special players.
