Flick Studies 3 Options to Stop Vinicius
The newspaper 'Sport' mentioned that Hans Flick is studying three defensive options to limit the threat of Vinicius Junior during the anticipated El Clasico match between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
According to the report, Barcelona's technical staff sees Vinicius as Real Madrid's most prominent offensive weapon at the moment, after he scored two goals in the last match against Espanyol, keeping his team's hopes alive before the Clasico.
The newspaper indicated that the options available to Flick include Jules Kounde, Eric Garcia, and Ronald Araujo, with a likely preference for Kounde to occupy the right-back position in the match.
The report added that Araujo has previously faced Vinicius several times in past matches, even when he was playing as a central defender, while Eric Garcia played as a right-back during the 4-3 victory over Real Madrid last season, in a match where he scored a goal.
The newspaper also explained that Eric Garcia also participated as a right-back in the last match against Osasuna due to Kounde's suspension, while the player remains a candidate to participate in central defense or midfield.
The report confirmed that Vinicius scored in Real Madrid's last three league matches against Deportivo Alaves, Real Betis, and Espanyol, at a time when Barcelona considers him the most prominent source of offensive threat for the Madrid team, especially in the absence of Kylian Mbappe.
