Rather productive Asian tour for FC Barcelona. In addition to having completed the club accounts with these three friendly meetings and many events organized by the club sponsors, Hansi Flick's troops also won their three games hands down: 3-1 victory against Vissel Kobe, 7-3 against FC Seoul and 5-0 against Daegu to finish. What confirm that the team is still going well and that many players are already in good shape and ready to reissue or even improve their performance from last season.
Hansi Flick was also able to see that he will be able to count on new heads, such as arrivals Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford and Rony Bardghji, who have already shown interesting things, and that new young people from Masia like Dro Fernandez only ask to follow the steps of Lamine Yamal and Pau Cubarsi. Balance sheet more than positive then, but this tour did not really like the players …
Many complaints
Indeed as indicated ASBarça players complained to Hansi Flick of the tedious journeys they had to undergo, especially during this return to Barcelona from Korea. After the match against Daegu, they had to do four hours by bus to fly in Seoul. A bus route that has greatly displeased players, with takeoff at 4 a.m. Then, this thirteen hour trip to Barcelona, with the effects of fatigue and jet lag.
They were thus numerous, especially among the executives, to criticize and to transmit their dissatisfaction to Hansi Flick. They talked about travel “Worthy of a small club”. Obviously, it was not the German who was targeted, but rather the management and the organizers of the trip. It must be said that Barça players were already particularly annoyed by the treatment of their teammate Marc-André Ter Stegen by club leaders, and that all this further adds oil to a rather tense relationship …
