After the red card against Sevilla in a crucial La Liga clash. Fermin Lopez is now worried about his place in the squad. The youngster was finally getting the well-deserved minutes from Flick and was in a very good form. Fermin scored immediately after coming on and made it 3-1 sealing the victory of La Blaugrana.
The worry of decreasing minutes
According to a report by Toni Juanmarti from Diario Sport, Fermín is very disappointed after his red card at Sevilla. He’s worried that he might lose his place in the squad after this, knowing how difficult it has been for him to gain Hansi Flick’s trust. The red card for Fermín stops his momentum at his best form yet. He struggled to have regular playing time at first but was playing a lot now. His stats prove that he’s no longer just a promising player but a proven, reliable option for Flick in any scenario.
Why Fermin is an important player for Barca
Fermin is one of the very few midfielders in Hansi Flick’s squad who have an eye for goal. His goal-scoring ability is truly world class. He is already the perfect player to fill in the CAM role in the absence of Dani Olmo. For me Fermin is a potential starter for Barcelona in the near future. The youngster had 11 goals under Xavi Hernández last season despite not starting most of the matches. This season he already has 5 goals and 5 assists proving his worth to Hansi Flick after a masterclass against Valencia and the recent goal against Sevilla.
