Two consecutive losses! World Sports: Flick is considering tactical adjustments and may arrange Rashford to serve as the 9th position

"World Sports News" reported that after losing to Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla, Barcelona coach Flick is planning to make tactical adjustments to solve the problems exposed by the team. After detailed analysis, the coaching team believed that the team lacked intensity in the game and was at a disadvantage physically and tactically.
A core change that Flick is considering is to push Rashford to the 9th position in order to restore the team's high-intensity pressing starting from the front court. This tactic was the key to Barcelona winning the Triple Crown last season. However, the implementation of this plan depends on the return of three key players from injury: Raphinha needs to return to the left winger position, Yamal on the right and Fermin as an attacking midfielder.
If they are unable to start at the same time against Girona on October 18, Flick may choose to test this new strike combination in the Champions League home game against Olympiacos on October 21.
This game is also regarded as an important drill before the national derby against Real Madrid on October 26. After already trying Phelan and using Lewandowski more in the second half, Rashford is seen as a key candidate to activate the team's frontcourt pressing.
