Robert Lewandowski may have reasons to fear. On Thursday, coach Hansi Flick decided to give him a free and the whole meeting against Valencia sat on the bench. In his absence, FC Barcelona did a great job. She defeated her rival 5: 0 and advanced to the King's Cup semi -finals. The direct competitor of the Pole to the place in the composition – Ferran Torres. Already in the first half he scored three goals, challenging our attacker.
The journalist presses on Flicka. Lewandowski will not be happy
“Ferran Torres presents the candidacy” – this is how “Mundo Deportivo” wrote after a fantastic match. The daily strongly complimented the Spanish player, recalled his statistics and suggested that he could get more chances. However, the journalist of the “Sport” Carles Sans was more blunt.
As he noted, Hansi Flick has so far been able to appreciate the good performances of the substitutes. – It seems that the German rewards the effort of its players based on the results on the pitch, regardless of their position. It seems that if Eric suddenly plays a good match, then Eric will come out from the beginning also in the next one. If de Jong finally understands what is expected of him, he will take the place of the victim Casado – he calculated.
Lewandowski will land on the bench? Casus goalkeepers recalled. “He did not use”
He already called this reasoning in the title “Flick's logic”. He is afraid, however, that in the case of Torres may not work. This is because it would be associated with the removal from Robert Lewandowski. – If Ferran responds like on Thursday, then under the same principle should be in the initial composition next Sunday against Sevilla. Only then will we see if Flick will be able to implement this principle at the expense of some players, such as Lewandowski – announced Sans.
In his opinion, Flick has already broken off once, putting on Wojciech Szczęsny despite good matches performed by Inaki Peni. The journalist treats the next round of Laliga as a test. – In the case of goalkeepers – in my opinion – he did not use it. It is worth checking if this standard relating to merits, which seems very good to me, meets only in the case of selected names – he wrote. The Sevilla – FC Barcelona match will take place on Sunday, February 9 at 21:00.
