8 - Pedri

[Loki]

JUST IN: Barça asked for a genetic analysis of Pedri’s muscles that was carried out in a laboratory in United States. The results advised him to do strength work daily & so Julio Tous made a plan that is working and is at a great physical level.

All fine and well. Truth is we lost Bernal for a year, Christiansen for 3 and Fermin for 1 month. All in less than one month.

So far things look worse than under Xavi.

 

[draconifire]

Pedri is so fragile that people are baffled as to how it is humanly possible. Need to fucking put him under a microscope.

Out of this fucking world talent. SUIIIIIIIIII

Neither are the new physio staff long enough at Barca to blame them for these injuries, nor are injuries 100% preventable science and then there is the part of player's fault too. Bernal's injury for example is only on him. Doing this tackle at the end of the game if you're tired and can't control your movement anymore is just over-motivation. You can't prevent these kind of things to 100%. The players are not children on the field, they also have to take responsibility.

Bernal’s injury is simply bad luck, can’t attribute an injury like his to physios

Andreas’ Achilles is not a recent issue, this began last season and full extent of injury has not been shared which makes estimating his recovery unclear…again, no correlation to Flick

Fermin? He has been playing non-stop. It’s far too early to even suggest there are failings in Flick’s approach, especially when you see the level of intensity in their play

Only area I would draw attention to would be distribution of minutes & rotation, especially with those in the squad < 20 years of age

Fermin is a 100% Flick's fault. He shoud insist he has more than a week of rest in the whole year but didn't. The irony is that he didn't even need and play him so Fermin could get more rest without harming the team.

Fermin's first match of the season should be tommorow, coming to the game rested and healthy.

I would say flick play a part in bernal's injury because he should have been subbed off for casado.

No need for him to play 100 minutes that game

 

[TheStig]

True. Most guys here would kill Xavi for Bernal and Fermin if that happened under him.

 

[DonAK]

It's a torn ACL + meniscus damage.

Unless Bernal had a calf injury or a MCL injury that had not fully healed and increases the risk of an ACL injury I don't understand how you can blame Flick.

It's a freak injury that can essentially happen at any moment.

 

[jamrock]

Because he could have subbed him off

We need to get out of his habit of playing all out teens the full 90, something not started with flick and not easy with all the injuries.

But in the case of bernal, no need to play him when casado could have been subbed in.

... really?

@ffpolo

Tbf whenever Pedri returns from injury, always have report like this. That he returns and improves his physicality, then injury happens.

Have to wait for the whole season to see whether or not his physicality truly improves.

 

[Barcaman]

Such a well rounded match. Beyond his goal. He was beast in pressing and key in breaking up their press
