One of the reasons why Barça under Hansi Flick is having such a surprising season is the atmosphere currently felt in the locker room. The German has managed to create an internal harmony that hasn't been seen in the club for a long time. The balance between youth and experience is key, with a very special connection between the youngest and the veterans of the team.
Players like Lamine Yamal, Balde, or Fermín have found the perfect support in established figures like Iñigo Martínez or Lewandowski. The result of this chemistry is a cohesive, committed, and motivated group. Barça is not only playing well, but also conveys feelings of unity and trust on and off the field.
There are players unhappy with their participation
However, not all players are equally happy. The high competitiveness of the group has left some footballers with less prominence than they would like. Among them are important names like Gavi and Ronald Araujo, two players who until recently were immovable.
Both footballers have been key in previous seasons, but the squad depth and the performance of their teammateshave relegated them on many occasions. While no open conflict has occurred, the discontent over the lack of minutes is real.
There could be a major sale at the club
Another case is that of Fermín. According to 'El Nacional', the Andalusian midfielder is not entirely satisfied with his prominence under Flick. Fermín López joined the first team last summer with the backing of having excelled in the Olympic Games with the Spanish national team, a tournament in which he was chosen MVP.
His emergence filled the season with expectations, and both the club and the environment expected him to have an important role this season. However, as the matches have progressed, Fermín has seen his minutes become scarcer than anticipated. Although he has performed well when given opportunities, the competition in the midfield is fierce.
He wants to play more
Fermín's situation could have consequences. According to 'El Nacional', the footballer from Campillo doesn't rule out seeking an exit if the situation doesn't improve.
Although his priority remains to succeed at Barça, Fermín would be considering the possibility of leaving if he doesn't enter Flick's immediate plans. The club will have to manage this situation delicately, as he is a player with great potential and very beloved by the fans.
