Hansi Flick has a new problem to solve in Barça's locker room. The impatience of certain players due to the lack of prominence on the field has brought significant tension to the culé team. There are those who believe that not having minutes not only limits their development as players but also doesn't give them opportunities to turn the situation around.
However, there is one player in particular who is tired of his situation and unwilling to continue tolerating his lack of prominence with Barça's jersey. In fact, everything seems to indicate that this young talent from the Catalan club has remained firm. He has conveyed to Hansi Flick that, if he doesn't get minutes, he will seek a way out. The German coach has shown concern about the situation and is already looking for options with the higher-ups of the institution.
Patience is running out
There is no doubt that Fermín López became one of FC Barcelona's great revelations in the last campaign under Xavi's leadership. However, the young culé midfielder is experiencing a very different situation with Hansi Flick's arrival on the first team's bench. It's no wonder: Despite his dedication in every training session and his good performance when he has had minutes, Fermín continues seeing his prominence constantly reduced.
In the last Champions League match against Benfica, Barça's young talent started from the bench again. Certainly, Flick decided to bring him on in the second half, but this makes it clear that the player feels relegated to a secondary role that doesn't completely convince him. Such situation is concerning considering that Barça is going through the second part of the season and Fermín can't assert himself in the competition for the position against Dani Olmo or Gavi.
A good sign
According to the latest information circulating around Barça, Fermín has conveyed his discontent to Hansi Flick. In fact, El Nacional claims that the player has had a conversation with the German coach and has expressed his desire to have more minutes on the field. Fermín wants to feel important and not to start every game from the bench.
In that sense, it seems that Flick has listened to him considering that he granted him the starting position in the last league match against Valencia. Fermín was the best player of the match, excelling with two goals and two assists. A good sign for Fermín, who is starting to feel heard, and for Barça after recovering the youth player's best level.
