LAMINE YAMAL STUCK: RIVALDO DEMANDSHANSI FLICK'S CREATIVE ATTACKING FIX
Barcelona legend Rivaldo issues stark warning to Hansi Flick. "He cannot continue like this." Discover his urgent fix.
Rivaldo, a Barcelona icon, is worried about his old team's defence, which has let in eight goals in the past four games.
After Barcelona's 3-0 loss to Chelsea in the UEFA Champions League, people are wondering about the team's defensive setup.
Alan Shearer, a Premier League legend, criticised Hansi Flick for using a high defensive line and offside traps.
Rivaldo also has concerns about the system, saying Flick needs to change things up.
Rivaldo told SPORT, He's going to have to make some changes. He cannot continue like this.
The former Ballon d'Or winner also said the players are to blame for the defensive struggles.
He stated, Some things might be the coach's fault, but other times the players don't do well in the match what they practice.
Sometimes defenders don't communicate or pay attention, leaving forwards open to score. It's not always the coach's fault; often, the players don't understand what they've practised.
Rivaldo also talked about Lamine Yamal's game against Chelsea, where Marc Cucurella got the better of him.
Rivaldo stated that Lamine wasn't at his best because he was marked very closely. He needs more options and variety in his game.
“He can't just play on the right wing, doing the same thing over and over. He has too much talent for that to be enough.”
The former Brazil player said it's up to the coach to find other ways for the young winger to play better when he's struggling.
Rivaldo said, When he's up against a defender who knows him well, like at Chelsea, it's easier to stop him. He was stuck on the right wing and couldn't move.
He noted, The coach needs to create other options for him: put him in the middle, on the left, switch positions. That way, he could have played better. He played badly because he was stuck on one side of the field, well-marked and predictable.
FROM "ONE FOOT OUT" TO MVP: THE HANSI FLICK CONVERSATION THAT SAVED RAPHINHA
Raphinha scored twice as Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 to retain the Spanish Super Cup. Discover Hansi Flick’s reaction here.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick had plenty of praise for Raphinha after the forward bagged two goals to sink Real Madrid and help Barcelona keep hold of the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday.
Raphinha’s on a tear right now—seven goals in his last five games. That includes his brace in the 3-2 win over Madrid in Saudi Arabia. Earlier this season, he missed about two months with an injury, and during that stretch, Barcelona’s form took a real hit. But since coming back, he’s looked sharp. Flick told reporters, “His mentality is unbelievable; his energy lifts the whole team.”
Raphinha did fluff a good chance in the first half, but he made up for it almost immediately, putting Barca ahead in Jeddah. Then, with the game tied at 2-2, he stepped up again—this time from outside the box, with a little help from a deflection, to score the winner.
“He missed that first opportunity, but then he scored and gave the team a real boost,” Flick said. “That’s what Raphinha brings—he’s intense, and we need that.”
Barca beat Madrid to win this trophy last season too and went on to clinch a domestic treble. Flick hopes this win will push the league leaders on to even bigger things this year.
“We feel great; we’re confident,” Flick said after Barca’s tenth straight win in all competitions. “A final against Real Madrid always means something extra. Winning it again—honestly, it’s fantastic.”
Flick has now won all eight finals he’s coached, including two against Madrid last season. “When we focus and play like we did today, I get such a good feeling about this team,” he said.
He also brought Ronald Araujo back onto the field late in the match, after the defender took about a month off for his mental health. “Being out there and winning this title means a lot to him,” Flick said. “I’m really happy he’s back, and it seems like he’s doing okay. We’ll always support him.”
OFFICIAL DECISION: BARCELONA INFORM MARCUS RASHFORD THEY WANT HIM TO STAY AT CAMP NOU
Barcelona plan to keep Marcus Rashford permanently despite financial hurdles. See the latest on his £26m clause and United future.
Barcelona really do want to keep Marcus Rashford, but they’re not so sure about paying the full £26 million buyout clause in his loan deal from Manchester United.
It’s only been a little over a year since Rashford last played for United. After that, Ruben Amorim pushed him out of the first team. Rashford bounced back with a solid loan spell at Aston Villa, then landed at Barcelona last summer on a season-long deal. The club got an option to make it permanent.
So far, this move feels like a win for everyone. Rashford has scored seven goals and set up 11 more in 26 games, and Barcelona is sitting four points clear at the top of La Liga. He looks like a new man—sharper, more driven—and now he’s a big piece for Thomas Tuchel’s England squad heading into the World Cup.
There’s still been some debate about whether Barcelona will lock him down for good, since he hasn’t totally nailed down a starting spot. Just this week, he started on the bench for their Super Cup semi-final win over Athletic Club.
Now, with El Clásico against Real Madrid in the Super Cup final coming up on Sunday, a lot of eyes are on Rashford to see how much he’ll feature.
Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim got sacked last Monday, which could open the door for guys like Rashford and Jadon Sancho to return to United. But according to The Athletic, United doesn’t plan to bring them back. Barcelona, on the other hand, has decided they want Rashford to stick around at Camp Nou after this season.
Still, Fabrizio Romano reports that Barcelona isn’t exactly rushing to trigger that buyout clause, and any final call probably won’t come until closer to the summer. Their finances play a big part in this—plus, Rashford’s £350,000-a-week salary, which Barcelona is currently covering in full.
The £26 million fee already looks like a bargain for a player of Rashford’s ability, and with the way he’s been playing, United aren’t likely to settle for less.
Either way, Rashford seems happy in Spain. He’s made it clear he wants to stay, and there are even rumours he’s hoping to link up again with ex-United teammate Kobbie Mainoo.
