Barcelona manager Hansi Flick is reportedly considering an unusual defensive setup for the upcoming clash against Aston Villa, with Brian Fariñas and Frenkie de Jong expected to feature in defence.
With Barça preparing for another important test, Flick could once again demonstrate his tactical flexibility by trusting players in unfamiliar positions.
Frenkie de Jong’s composure, ball control, passing range and ability to dictate possession could make him an interesting option when building attacks from the back. Meanwhile, Fariñas could be handed another opportunity to demonstrate his qualities and adaptability.
However, facing Aston Villa will be a serious examination. Barcelona will need defensive concentration, strong communication and intelligent positioning to deal with Villa’s attacking threat.
Flick has never been afraid to experiment with his available options, but this potential defensive partnership will certainly attract attention.
Could this tactical gamble work against Aston Villa? Or would you prefer Barcelona to stick with a more traditional defensive setup? 🔥
