Dani Olmo has been one of the signings that has caused the most buzz this past year. His registration wasn't an easy task, but after much sacrifice, Laporta made it happen. The board worked tirelessly until they found the key that gave the academy graduate the opportunity to play.
Barça has gone through a tough crisis, but they've managed to bounce back thanks to the hard work and commitment of most of their footballers. The academy has been crucial, and young players like Fermín have managed to get the fans excited about their team again. Now, a plan from Flick changes everything; it's risky, but it's sure to bear fruit.
Flick's Barça
Barça was looking for a competent and strong-willed coach after Xavi Hernández was dismissed, who in the past had already restored hope to the fans. In fact, the Catalan achieved great things and marked a turning point in the project in the Catalan capital. He bet on many young players and discovered talents like Fermín, who was about to leave the club.
Flick, who arrived with very high expectations surrounding him, has managed to get all the footballers to show the world their best soccer. Barça has sealed a season full of achievements, and it's expected that the next one will be just as good or better. To achieve this, the German is studying all the possibilities and options in the market.
The most promising area for Barça right now is the midfield, since they have many stars who could be starters at any European giant. It was believed that Dani Olmo or Fermín were going to be the starters for next year, but everything has changed. According to several media outlets, Flick wants to convert Gavi into an attacking midfielder; an unexpected twist.
Gavi, the club's new attacking midfielder
Gavi is one of those footballers that any team wants to have on their roster: quality, heart, and potential. His playing style is frenetic, and he's very good at breaking defensive lines, which is why Flick has decided to give it a try. Gavi will start training in the attacking midfielder position with the goal of learning to play at the top of the midfield.
With Flick's plan, Gavi will become an even higher-quality asset. We don't know how the Andalusian will develop, but it's likely that he'll generate a lot of buzz in the coming months.
