FC Barcelona is experiencing a tense moment in its locker room, as several players on the squad have begun to show their discontent. They do so due to the lack of opportunities they feel is happening under Hansi Flick's leadership. Players who expected an important role have been relegated to oblivion, creating an atmosphere of frustration and concern.
One of the most striking cases is Ansu Fati, the forward has worked hard to regain his best form after the injuries that plagued him in recent years. However, the German coach doesn't count on him and it's difficult for him to get regular playing time again. Despite his love for the club, Ansu sees how the minutes don't come and his departure in the summer seems inevitable.
Adding to this situation is the case of the Cantabrian footballer Pablo Torre, the midfielder had opportunities while Gavi was injured. Now with the Andalusian's recovery, he has disappeared from the coach's plans. His entourage is already looking for options for the next market, aware that his prominence in the team is minimal.
Pau Víctor Doesn't Have Minutes
Another Affected by Hansi Flick's Management with Certain Players is the Catalan Forward Pau Víctor. The player expected to be registered to have minutes in the first team, but the reality is that Ferran Torres has taken away any prominence. Additionally, Fermín López has also gained more participation, leaving Pau in a difficult situation, now, his future seems to be far from Camp Nou.
Finally, Iñaki Peña is also in a delicate position, the goalkeeper was hoping to have minutes in Copa del Rey. However, Flick's decision to bet on Szczęsny has closed any possibility even in the KO competition. Not even in the cup tournament does he appear as a real option, which has increased his discontent.
Peña's Departure Is Certain
Peña is clear that he is facing his last months at Barça and that he won't waste the offers he has in hand. With performances like the one he had at Bernabéu, the day Barça won 4-0 he feels he deserves much more. Flick decided to sideline him and bet on the Polish Szczęsny, so his departure seems more than certain, with Galatasaray as the most solid option.
For some, the situation inside the locker room is starting to be concerning. The coach's lack of confidence in certain players could lead to a massive exodus in the summer. The sports management will have to intervene to avoid an unsustainable environment and make key decisions about the future of these players.
Hansi Flick meanwhile has been having individual conversations with many of them, seeking to keep them connected. They know they must be patient and wait for their opportunity, if there are injuries they may get a chance. They feel a deep disappointment but know where they play and who they are working with, another matter is their future, where there may be significant developments.
