‘Had a great pre-season’: Hansi Flick tips one Barca youngster to play notable role under him

Hansi Flick has shown an impressive ability of promoting players from Barcelona’s La Masia academy and give them chances under him.

He already promoted Marc Casado and Marc Bernal to be first-team regulars under him, showing utmost trust in the Blaugrana’s system.

But it now appears that Flick will give more chances to young centre-back Sergi Dominguez as the season wears on and cup competitions begin.

Speaking after Barca’s 7-0 win over Real Valladolid, Flick stated: “Sergi Dominguez had a great preseason. He has improved a lot since then and that is why he played today. He will help us a lot.”

With Barca unable to sign a new centre-back this summer, it looks like Flick aims to use Dominguez in a rotational role instad. The Spanish defender made his senior debut in the Valladolid clash, but made 22 appearances for Barca Athletic last season.
