Barcelona’s manager, Hansi Flick, was refreshingly transparent with his team messages before the controversial meeting of the La Liga with Osasuna on Thursday on Thursday.
The Catalan giants were originally supposed to stand by Pamplona on March 8, before the tragic death of Team Doctor Carles Minarro Garcia. La Liga, which is currently involved in a planning conflict with Real Madrid, has struggled to see the Irishman of Barcelona by overlooking Osasuna for the international break on Thursday, March 27th.
The Brazil’s Ronald Araujo interior defenders from Raphhinha and Uruguay were always unlikely in view of their participation in World Cup qualifications, which were shown in the early morning of Wednesday morning (CET). Flick confirmed that the duo’s absence in his press conference before the game.
“You won’t play tomorrow, you won’t be with the team,” the German boss sighed. “You have a long flight and it’s not the best way to relax. Ronald didn’t play in the last game, but after his injury it is good that he trained. We’ll see what happens on Sunday.”
Flick also revealed the defensive partnership, which will compete against Osasuna in the middle of the week. “Eric [Garcia] and inigo [Martinez] I will play in the center, “he noticed after Pau Comatsi fell to Spain against the Netherlands.” Pau will be on the bench. It is better for him to have a few more days because he needs it. The injury is not serious, but it is good that he has more days. If we needed him, he would play. “
According to his manager, Robert Lewandowski is “ready to play”, although Ferran Torres could give the 36-year-old a little break after playing twice for Poland for Poland within four days.
Barcelona had a flood of players who were involved in the Nations League quarter -finals and were completed on Sunday evening under chaotic circumstances. “The players from Spain, France and the Netherlands have to recover,” warned Flick. “Today they had their first full session. So it is and it’s not the best situation for them, but they are professionals.”
Osasuna has been winning in the last six games and lets her collapse in 14th place. In contrast, Barcelona could open a lead of three points on the summit of La Liga if they are victorious on Thursday.
“We have a good team, and what I saw in training was positive,” concluded Flick. “We have to fight for the three points. If we win tomorrow, it will be a good reaction.”
