Flick's Barcelona Plans Upended!

Hansi Flick Defied His Own Game Plan Against Getafe.

According to "Sports Three", Eric Garcia, who was supposed to play as a full-back this season, played in the center of the defense line, and Kende, who was supposed to be a central defender, returned to the right side of the defense line.

Proof that plans are being made to change was on full display during Barcelona's win over Getafe on Saturday. In this match, it became clear that the idea that Flick worked on to organize the defense line of Barcelona this season is completely different from the initial plan of this German coach.

At the start of the season, Fleck revealed that he had a meeting with 24-year-old Eric Garcia and Jules Kende to explain their new roles in the lineup. The German coach has made it clear to the French defender, who has been almost unattainable as the main right-back in recent seasons, that he will mainly play in the central defensive position this season. On the other hand, Eric Garcia, a multi-position player who is a central defender by nature, but who took over the stump position on the right side of the defense last season, was told that this position will be his permanent post this season unless there is an emergency.

However, on Saturday, when the French player and the Catalan defender were included in the starting line-up at the same time, all these plans were turned upside down. Kandé, who was supposed to be a central defender, played as a full-back and Eric Garcia, who was supposed to play on the right wing, played in the center of the defense.

Both players gave a brilliant performance. Kende scored a goal in this game and was on the verge of scoring the second goal in another scene, which he himself admitted about that scene: "That scene was not just a simple mistake, but a terrible mistake and a gross waste of opportunity."
