Barcelona boss Hansi Flick is reportedly considering making a tactical change to his team after overseeing defeats to Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla.
A new report from Mundo Deportivo claims that Flick is thinking about moving Marcus Rashford to the No. 9 position in a bid to improve his team’s pressing from the front.
The plan is to have Rashford as the No. 9, with Raphinha on the left flank, Lamine Yamal on the right and Fermin Lopez playing as an attacking midfielder.
However, as all three players
are currently sidelined through injury, Flick’s not sure when he will be able to put his plan into place.
It’s is hoped that all three players will be able to return after the international break, although Barca don’t want to rush anybody back for fear of relapse.
Flick and his coaching staff think that some of their current issues stem from a lack of “pressing well and intensity from the front line” – something Pau Cubarsi stated after the defeat to Sevilla.
The Barcelona boss wants to continue with the system he’s used so far, and is confident given their success last season, but knows some changes are needed to get the team back on track.
What do you think of Flick’s plan? Is more change needed? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below!
