Drew Fernandez, La Masia Academy, the backbone of Barcelona

The scene in front of you happened yesterday in the Barcelona vs. Olympiacos Champions League match, and it truly did not do justice!

This is the scene of Barcelona’s second goal.

Pedri successfully pressed and intercepted the ball, but the problem here was that the weight and speed of the ball’s rebound were exaggerated!

It’s normal in this situation for the ball to return to Olympiacos because it’s difficult to receive.

However, what was truly impressive was Drew Fernandez’s decision to control the force and speed of the ball with an amazing reception

and rotation, accelerating the attack and setting up a goal for Fermin Lopez in his first Champions League match!

Despite Barcelona’s difficult financial situation, limited personnel, and even injuries, which negatively impact them, I sometimes feel that these circumstances serve the team in giving these exceptional academy talents a full opportunity.

The advantage is that they are experiencing the experience early, so their maturity and leadership levels are faster!

Drew Fernandez from La Masia Academy, which will remain the backbone of Barcelona in managing its crises, an academy that is a real gold mine

Who would have believed that Rashford, who was excluded from the Manchester United squad

and loaned to Aston Villa, contributed 11 goals in 27 matches, was no longer able to demonstrate his abilities and his mentality was at an all-time low!

This is the same Rashford who contributed 9 goals in 13 matches, 9 of which were starts, with Barcelona this season.

He is also the player with the most Champions League goals, with 5 goals, and has contributed in every match in the tournament so far!

Rashford scored two goals today against Olympiacos with an extremely intelligent display, mirroring the goalkeeper’s movements

He points his body away, the goalkeeper takes two steps across, and then suddenly shoots into the box, the opposite of the goalkeeper’s movement. This is a famous Kylian Mbappé move!

The more you put Rashford in shooting situations and train his mental state, the more terrifying his productivity will be.

Both of these conditions are abundantly present in Hansi Flick, the direct coach, psychological advisor, and literally the most important person at Barcelona.

The idea that Barcelona’s management even thought such a dazzling man could be sold is truly the height of absurdity and nonsense!

Fermin López was a chic bride today against Olympiacos, making history as the first Spaniard to score a hat-trick for Barcelona in the Champions League!

The truly amazing scene is this: instead of shooting, Fermin moved the ball against the defender to gain more of a lead over the goalkeeper. He was completely confident in his left foot, finishing the attack with it. Imagine scoring a hat-trick with his weaker foot. Amazing!

He’s an intelligent player who attacks space, is direct, and finishes off numerous attacks with both feet. He’s a player who maintains a high mental state in every match, being influential and decisive!

Fermin López proves every time he plays underneath the striker that he’s more effective than Dani Olmo. He’s world-class, elegant, and absolutely indispensable for Barcelona.

Hansi Flick, in yesterday’s press conference for the Barcelona vs. Olympiacos match, made statements that will make Barcelona fans love him even more!

Flick said that when he was coaching Bayern Munich during the 8-2 win over Barcelona, ​​his celebrations were the same for every goal:

sitting quietly, not smiling!

Flick then said that Barcelona has changed many things inside him, to the point that he has become more emotional because he has fallen in love with Barcelona and everyone at the club.

This love makes him always try to give everything he has to the club, no matter the circumstances!

This isn’t the first time Flick has spoken about his love for Barcelona.

Nine months ago, he spoke about many dreams that have come true in his life, including coaching Barcelona, ​​and that he’s never had such a beautiful experience as the one he’s having now with Barcelona!

Flick with Barcelona decided to rely more on emotions and as a result, Flick was able to show the greatest percentage of the characteristics of all Barcelona players because he simply decided to know them more than he knows the ways of playing.

Regardless of how Flick’s experience with Barcelona will end, I do not think of a coach that Barcelona fans have fallen in love with since the time of Pep Guardiola as much as Hansi Flick.
