Barcelona Manager Hansi Flick Prepares for Season

Barcelona's new manager, Hansi Flick, expressed satisfaction with his squad ahead of the La Liga opener against Valencia, despite the team’s trophy-less campaign last season. The club has made key signings, including attacking midfielder Dani Olmo, who will be unavailable for the first match due to fitness issues. Flick, who replaced Xavi Hernandez, aims to improve the team's physical preparation, a factor linked to past injuries and poor performance in crucial games. In a surprising staff change, former midfielder Thiago Alcantara has been replaced by Arnau Blanco as assistant coach. The club is hoping Flick's leadership and tactical versatility from Olmo will reinvigorate their campaign. The season begins with high expectations as Barcelona seeks to regain its competitive edge in La Liga.
