Let’s take a thing out. Nico Williams comes to Barcelona.
Nothing is done by Athletic if Barcelona, as expected, makes the necessary movements to act within the rule 1: 1. It is embarrassing to make a threat to the Basque Country. Go Laporta, however, it has a serious job in the hands to avoid drama in the coming weeks.
Nico and Joan Garcia will consist of market aspirations for the Barca this summer. The questions will be a great name, if any.

One thing seems to be sure that Barcelona will go a deep forward and likely to occur that they will sacrifice a center.
This means Hansi Flick by Nico Williams How to adapt to Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, Dani Olmo, Robert Lewandowski and Ferran Torres.
This could be Lewandowski’s Swan song in Barcelona, and with that, the beginning of the end of a legendary career. The Poland International turns 37 years in August, and it is likely this season on the club plans. Of course, if another Pichichi level campaign, the narrative could change.
But according to the plan, the future of Barcelona attack will be new add-ons of Raphinha, Lamine Yamal and Dani Olmo and Raphinha.

The question is whether all the four is a formula that can play together. For if there is no blaster market may be in the market for nine new numbers.
To start the season, I would hope to lose Robert Lewandowski’s starting point. I hope to keep holding up most of the standards. And that means introducing a lot of goals.
Alternative would be for Barcelona to go younger, and will see more energy, physicality and dynamism in the role of advancing Dani olmo or Ferran Torres Centers.
This would also depend on what the fact that it decides with Rafinha and Nico. Lamine Yamal, on the right, seems to be the only player that is safe.

Why fix something broken? Play Raphinha on the left, Dani olmo 10, and before Lewandowski, and like last season, you should be good.
But, what happens if you put Nico on the left side? The great experiment may see what happens when you move Raphinha at the center of Raphinha and Olmo up. If it works well, it is a very different group compared to what was succeeded in the last season.
It’s a reason, so I think it can work because Raphinha reads his game because it gives freedom.

Nico has a classic Winger profile, disciplined and stylish. Although it should be said, it can be said that he can play on both sides, and also has an experience during the middle.
It’s fun that Dani Olmok seems to become a man of availability in Barcelona. It really arrived as a flight in Catalonia, but it seems, under the obvious, because we will see there.
It seems to be sure, if Nico arrives, Flick’s team will be very straight attack. For all the criticism of the old Barca, keeping property in the central territories and is not enough danger to go out, these days are gone.
Pedri, in fact, would say that he will continue in a double pivot with the responsibility of the orchestriations of attacks.
It would be signposting that a very high line of defense is not going anywhere.
Watching this would remain exciting. Duplicate over what they started twelve months ago.

However, the formula will come out well because they should be even more dangerous and more effective in the last third.
Does the Nico Williams move on the line revolution, or simply greater depth on the wing?
That’s one of the big questions that Hansi Flick will have to answer.
