El Clasico plan. Flick prefers Yamal’s victim to Rashford

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick is counting on his Swede Ronny Barji instead of Marcus Rashford in Sunday’s El Clasico against Real Madrid.

“Sport” newspaper noted in its report that Flick is betting on his continued confidence in Barji, who is participating mainly after the injury of his partner Lamine Yamal.

Barji suffered from a lack of participation with Barcelona as he plays in the same position as his brilliant counterpart Yamal.

But after Yamal was injured against Celta Vigo, Barji started the last two La Liga games against Getafe and Osasuna.

If Barji’s participation in the starting lineup is confirmed, it will be a new opportunity for the Swedish star to show his capabilities in a game that will attract the attention of the world.

Rashford is a trump card with Barcelona

Barji still seemed to be adjusting to the pressure of replacing Yamal, but playing on the right wing, which he prefers compared to Marcus Rashford, in addition to defensive roles against Vinicius Junior and the ability to use the pace of Fran Garcia, make Flick seriously consider relying on him.

But the decision is not an easy one as Rashford, who replaced Barji in the second half against Osasuna, provided excellent minutes and was decisive in the victory that moved Barca closer to winning the league.

The English player showed great possession skills and delivered a neat ball from the right wing to the head of Robert Lewandowski, which delighted the crowd at the El Sadar Stadium.

Either way, even if Rashford doesn’t start, he remains an impact player as he has proven he can make a difference when he comes off the bench, especially when opposition defenses are tiring, and he is an important weapon to contain Flick.

Bargi could be deployed on the right side of an attacking trio that also includes Robert Lewandowski and Fermin Lopez.
