BARCELONA, Spain — Hansi Flick, the coach of Barcelona, don face serious problem as dem prepare to meet Inter Milan for second leg semifinal for Champions League on May 6. Dis one come happen after some of him players dey suffer injury, especially rookie Dani Rodríguez wey just start to shine.
Barcelona go enter di match with serious issues for dem defense as Koundé dey out. Flick don make plans to reshuffle di team even though dem play poor in first half against Valladolid, who na bottom of di league. Players like Eric Garcia and Gerard Martín go form di backbone for di defense, while dem dey decide wetin go happen for left-back position.
Szczesny, di goalkeeper, wey rest during di last match, go start for di game after Flick announce am. We go see if Araujo go take di left-back spot after he don dey train well, but e fit change di dynamics of di whole game because he dey more defensive. No be everybody go happy about dat move, as Araujo be natural right-back.
For di midfield, Pedri and Frenkie de Jong go likely start, after dem get limited time in di last match for Valladolid. Dani Olmo, wey just come back to di lineup na strong candidate to take di attacking midfield position unless Fermín change di coach mind because he don dey perform well lately, even scoring for di last match.
Di forward line don define as Lamine Yamal and Raphinha go occupy di wings, while Ferran Torres go lead di attack as striker. Robert Lewandowski, wey don start training again, go be ready as substitute if dem need am during di match.
De players wey don overwork for di last match against Valladolid na few, so most of di squad go enter milan fresh. Dis high stakes game against Inter neva dey easy, especially after dem put vex for di first leg.
As for Inter, dem don gather dia forces well, especially with Denzel Dumfries na dangerous player wey don cause problems in di last game. Flick dey plan as he fit contain am, especially with Balde not able to play again.
Toni Kroos, former Real Madrid star, don praise Pedri as di best midfielder for di world now, reminding say how much Barcelona miss him when e no dey play. Dis praise go add another level of pressure on Pedri as he prepare to perform for di big game.
