The head coach of Barcelona, German Hans Flick, is working on addressing the reasons for the team's decline in performance in recent matches, following defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla. He has identified several key points to bring the team back to its usual level after the international break, as reported by the Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo".

Flick believes that Barcelona needs to regain the intensity and fighting spirit that characterized the team last season when they won a domestic treble. The German coach has noticed a drop in the players' effort levels and has urged them to work hard again in training and matches to achieve their major goals.

The newspaper confirmed that Flick is anticipating the return of several important players such as Raphinha, Ferran Lopez, and Lamine Yamal after the break, which will provide him with new attacking options, especially in the absence of influential players like Gavi and Juan Garcia.

The newspaper mentioned that Flick is considering making slight tactical adjustments, including the possibility of using Marcus Rashford as a central striker to allow Raphinha space on the left side, while keeping Lewandowski as an important option on the bench.

The German coach is focusing on enhancing team spirit within the dressing room, after players like Pedri and Koubarsi expressed self-criticism for the team's mistakes in recent matches, which Flick sees as a crucial step towards improvement.

The newspaper noted that Flick does not rule out the possibility of strengthening the team in the winter transfer market, in coordination with sporting director Deco, especially in the left center-back or central striker positions, if the current solutions do not succeed.

With these steps, Flick hopes to restore balance to Barcelona and regain the performance that made them competitive in all competitions last season.
