The presence of Dro is the big news of the eleven that Flick presents against Olympiacos. The technician I rehearsed in preview with Roony and Fermín in the starting lineup and in the end the Swede was left out in favor of the young striker. Quite a surprise from the coach, but not the only one.
Center back leaves Araujo on the bench again. It’s still curious because against Girona he was not put in the starting XI even if he had not played a match for the national team and was able to rest during the two weeks of vacation. Furthermore, he had been the hero of the match against Michel’s team score the winning goal in added time.
Pau Cubarsí and Eric García.
Flick leaned towards Pau Cubarsí and Eric Garcia in the center of defense, the same thing he did last Saturday. And this is surprising given the numerous errors made in defense during this match, especially in the first part. Araujo’s new replacement could indicate that the Uruguayan could start against Real Madrid on Sunday.
In the center of the field, Flick once again trusts Pedri and Casadó in the double pivot. Whoever stays on the bench is Frenkie de Jong who played as a midfielder against Girona. Dro comes in in his place and Fermín will play on the left wing.
