Araujo s main force is out of stock, Christensen s return will upgrade Barcelona s defense line

In Hans Flick's tactical territory, there is a name in Barcelona's defense line that is unstoppable. Paul Kubasi, who is only 18 years old but has shown his master style.

However, who will partner with this new star has become a difficult problem. Previously, everyone thought the answer was team leader Ronald Araujo. But now, with another key player returning from injury, a competition for the central defender position is quietly taking place. Araujo's seemingly solid position really sounded the alarm for the first time.

KuBrazil and Araujo

We must first clarify the current situation. With his maturity and stable performance beyond his age, Kubasi has become the undisputed cornerstone of the Flick plan and is the new king rising on the defense line.

Araujo, as the team's defensive champion and spiritual leader for many years, has always been regarded as the number one candidate around Kubasi. Although his contract extension this summer has sparked some debate within the club, it is more like a vote of confidence in his leadership.

Christensen's return

The one who broke this stable situation was the return of Danish central defender Andreas Christensen's injury recovery.

Christensen is one of the players Flick appreciates most. Compared to Araujo's courage and physical fitness, Flick valued Christensen's top prediction ability and excellent tactical wisdom more.

In Flick's view, the central defender combination composed of Kubasi and Christensen may be the optimal solution to Barcelona's defense in terms of ball play, position sense and tactical understanding.

Flick's troubles

Christensen's return to full health is a top-notch benefit for Barcelona, ​​but for Flick, it is a happy trouble. Managing the playing time and expectations of top players is never easy.

Now, the Three Kingdoms Killing Pattern of Barcelona's defense has been formed:

KuBazi: Stable to be in the main force and has a transcendent position.

Araujo vs Christensen: Two top central defenders with different styles will launch the most direct and cruel competition for another starting place.

This will be a serious personality test for Araujo, who has always been regarded as indispensable. He must prove that he is still the irreplaceable leader of the defense line.

Benevolent team competition is the secret to the wealthy family maintaining their prosperity. Christensen's return undoubtedly lifted Barcelona's defense to a new level.

This internal struggle related to the main position will run throughout the season and directly determine the final form of Barcelona's defense. For Kubasi, he is undoubtedly happy because he is surrounded by two world-class bodyguards.

Now, the ball hit Flick.
