De La Fuente's choice shifts Flick's strategy
Hans Flick, the Barcelona coach, has reassessed Spain's defensive performance in the 2026 World Cup, leading him to believe he can improve his team's backline by switching Eric Garcia's role to right-back rather than relying on him as a central defender. Flick based this on Spain’s success under Luis de la Fuente, which demonstrated that having a left-footed defender alongside Koubarši offers greater balance and flexibility in building attacks, while also enhancing defensive stability. Therefore, Flick plans to deploy Garcia as a right-back, potentially seeking a left-footed central defender to compensate for the changes, as he aims to improve Barcelona’s defensive setup for the upcoming season.
