Flick turns to Fariñas and De Jong in reshuffled Barcelona defence

Original: brian fariñas pérez

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick is preparing a new defensive line-up featuring young full-back Brian Fariñas Pérez alongside Frenkie de Jong, with Alejandro Balde left out. Flick said bluntly of Balde: "He has no confidence." The decision comes as the Catalan side look to steady their back line in upcoming matches, and it puts an unexpected spotlight on the academy player's opportunity.

Why now: Flick publicly dropped Balde over a confidence issue and handed a chance to little-known Fariñas, prompting debate about Barcelona's defensive options
