World Sports: Barcelona will face intensive schedules, Frick needs to find the best central defender combination to maintain stability

Recently, "Shiyi" talked about the intensive schedule that will be faced in the future of international competitions. They said that what Frick needs to solve the most is to find the best central defender combination.

With the international match day for the Spanish and Polish national teams over, Frick can work with most players starting today on Monday, preparing for the match against Valencia and the next six games. This stage of the game will demand very high on the team before the next international match day, as the team has not yet reached the level and efficiency of the game that had been shown almost the entire season last season.

failed to win a full win in the first three away games, although it was one of the most complete preseason games in recent years, which brought some disappointment to the team, especially in its final game against Vallecano. Frick had already conveyed some information at the press conference, which had been mentioned in the locker room, pointing out aspects he felt needed to improve.

For example, despite Barcelona's 3-0 victory over Mallorca, he called on the players to improve the intensity of the game because he was not satisfied with his second half performance. After Vallecano drew 1-1, he mentioned that "self" may destroy success, which is the coach himself. It's time to fix these issues, along with some issues Frick discovered, who also said he was looking forward to the transfer window closing to avoid distractions.

Frick needs to adjust the central defender combination as soon as possible, especially after Inigor leaves. Last season, Inigo's central defender partnership with Kubasi was the key to the team's outstanding performance, helping the team win three championships in La Liga, Copa del Rey and Super Cup of Spain.

In the first two games, Frick chose the combination of Araujo and Kubasi. After Valencia's performance was poor, he used the central defender combination of Eric Garcia and Christensen in Vallecano, but the effect was not ideal. Frick needed to find a central defender combination that could provide stability. Regarding the self and intensity issues mentioned by Frick, he hopes the team can resume the high-level performance of the high-pressure pressing that was participated by all lines last season.

In addition to lacking in offside skills, Barcelona also encountered some conversion problems in the match against Valencia and Vallecano. Midfielder mistakes were more than before, lacking support that had never been missing last season, and he seemed helpless when facing intensive defense. In addition, opponents are also looking for ways to fight last season's dominance, including the advantage against Yamal.

Frick needs to find a solution and get the team to react in the next few weeks. Before the next international match day, there are seven league and Champions League games: home against Valencia, away against Newcastle, home against Getafe, away against Oviedo, home against Sociedad, home against Paris Saint-Germain, away against Sevilla.

This series of matches is very difficult, including two tough European matches and requires a good momentum in the league. Today, almost all players will return to Sports City. Only Christensen, Araujo, Rafinia, Conde, Rashford and Badge were absent due to the incomplete international match mission.
