The firefighter reappears. Last year, between Deco and Lewandowski they convinced a retreat from leaving their privilege retirement in Malaga to replace the injured Ter Stegen, who had broken the patellar tendon in September during the match between Barcelona and Villarreal. It was hard for him to find rhythm, but when he did he erased Iñaki Peña from the Barca goal. He did not disappoint. “In the second part of last season we won almost all the games and three titles with him,” said Hansi Flick.
Since he landed in Barcelona, Szczesny always understood his place. Of course, his face was twisted the appearance of Joan García meant a balm in the management of his role in the locker room. “I am a substitute and I will continue to be, but I am not disappointing; I knew that my function is to prepare Joan García. Joan is a goalkeeper with an incredible potential, he is already one of the best in Europe,” said the Polish goalkeeper. Since Barcelona paid its clause, Szczesny hugged Joan García. “It is not good that Joan is not. Tek is back. He is a fantastic goalkeeper, but he is also a fantastic person, ”said Flick.
This Saturday morning, Joan García went through the operating room at the Barcelona hospital to solve his problem in the left knee meniscus. In the club they believe it will be five weeks. A time for Szczesny to provide security to the Barca defense. He did, in part, last campaign, when he fit 36 goals in 30 games. The casualty of Joan García joins that of Ter Stegen, Fermín, Raphinha and Gavi. “I think the injuries are not normal. You can expect some. We are analyzing the situation, what has been done in the days before … to see if we find any cause. It is our work, we have a great team and we will analyze everything to see what we get,” Flick insisted.
The German coach loses Joan García and Raphinha, but recovers Lamine Yamal and Balde. None, in any case, will jump to the field in the initial eleven against Real Sociedad (18.30 Movistar). “We’ll see if Lamine is on the bench or on the team, but it will surely have a few minutes,” said Flick. In training prior to duel in front of the Basque team ,. And, according to the German with his staffhis idea is that the canterano, second in the list of the Golden Ball, participates about 30 minutes in front of the Real. Flick, for doubts, avoided charging against the Federation. “It is not my job, it is the coach’s work. It’s his thing. If he calls it, it’s his decision,” he said.
Without the look in Las Rozas, but with the head in the PSG, with prior scale before the Real in Montjuïc. “We always have the goal in the next game and it is tomorrow against Real Sociedad. Then we will see how we want to play and prepare for the PSG. The most important thing is to focus on tomorrow’s game because it is very important. Right now we have four victories in four games and we want to continue like this and demonstrate tomorrow our fans the same spirit of last season. You don’t have to look at the injured, only in which they can play.
