While it’s true that his minutes will drastically reduce once everyone is fit , we will have to consider him at right back, especially as he plays that position in lamasia
I’ll take Casado over Frenkie any day of the week, there’s no reason at all to drop him for the starting 11, when our team is crying out for these types of players, especially in midfield. Casado + Gavi = cheatcode
What Barca management never realized is that Barcelona never needs to buy a midfielder, La Masia is a great academy but it is the best Academy when producing Midfielders. There will always be a great Midfielder in La Masia.
@@Dispencerhere In case Raphinha, Lamine, Lewandowski or Kounde would be injured, we have no one good enough to replace them. Not every 17-18 year old can be Lamine, he's one in a generation, not the rule. In Champions League, relying mostly/solely on La Masia prospects would get us butchered. And in La Liga without Lewandowski, Raphinha, Kounde we are zero. We wouldn't finish in the first half in the standings. We have to be grounded.
When everyone will return from injury, Hansi Flick will have an headache 😂 whether who should he go for in the starting XI lineup…he will have De Jong, Gavi, Pedri, Dani Olmo, Fermin Lopez, Pablo Torre, Marc Bernal, Marc Casado the totals of 8 different midfielders 😮❤ that’s crazy!

Casado has adapted to this new position(for him) very fast and he is very good. I say whoever is supposed to take his place as a starter (FDJ, Gavi) should really prove themselves they deserve to bench Casado. Nobody should take his first starter in the team situation as a given. Everyone needs to fight to be a starter.
Mark Cassado can also play as a right back + when was the last time Barca had a full team with no injuries in the past 4 years. First, let me see if everyone on the team is not injured. then we can be concerned about minutes
"We can at least rotate properly sinfe everyones injury prone or coming back from injury" Well said :) One consideration [Frenkie, Pedri] & [Gavi, Casado] ... for now (until Bernal is back)

i have watched a ton of your videos which i enjoy very much and i have to make 3 statements. 1- Your football knowledge is very high overall, 2- You are a true Barca fan , 3- You really like Marc Casado 🤩
No one should be give a guaranteed start with casado performing so brilliant I think he should not be benched only because the big names have returned all of them should prove their worth to be a starter
if all of our midfielders were fine, that means they'd all play especially since there are a lot of games and national break, if De jong was there and Gavi and also Fermin as a super sub that'd mean we are going to get only better
Barca need an AM in the mid-field for more goals. Otherwise, no (improvement) difference from Xavier's toothless mid-field trip [Pedri, Busquets, Gavi].

So funny. Most fans prayed that FDJ return ASAP on the pitch. Expected, like he's the next Iniesta. And now, reading through the comments many want us to sell him. Make up your minds 🤣
"Barcelona should switch to a 4-4-2 formation in the latter stages of the game once they've secured a two-goal lead. Gavi, Casadó, Pedri, and Marc Bernal can hold the midfield, creating a strong defensive wall, while Lewandowski, Vitor Roque, or also Pau Víctor stay up front. This system would help protect possession and prevent the opposition from scoring, while still allowing opportunities to find Lewandowski, Vitor Roque, and Pau Víctor for more goals when possible. The focus should be on securing the win-there's no need to chase a 7-0 scoreline, as a two-goal lead still secures the same three points."
Non sense.. the message you send to other teams will strike fear in the, breaking them down mentally. Havin a 3 goal lead still giv opposition hope to claw back in the. 3 nil 4 nil 5 nil kills all hopes of recovery an it also shows dominance an relentless nature to keep on searchin for more goals. Beautiful entertaining football is wat we craved for years, now thats it is here sit back an enjoy d ride
"Gavi, Casadó, Pedri, and Marc Bernal " A bunch of toothless mid-fielders ... good for double-pivot. Want more goals than Xavier's era, use an AM ... e.g Olmo, Raphinha ... even Fermin, Pablo, Noah, Toni.
De jong, pedri, gavi must be undisputable starters in midfield as they are more experienced in barca & more senior players. Casado is still young but as you say he is a great player & can play in any top teams around europe but he must be used to rotate & he must be given his time to be patient. As we knew in xavi's time, he never liked de jong but flick can make the best out of dejong, gavi, pedri😊
Pau prim would be great in the position where Marc Casado/Eric Garcia plays. He’ll probably get a chance in some Copa del Rey games, but he’s also very important for Barça Atlétic.
xavi DID trust casado, he always talked about how he is the next big thing and many reports suggested that he views him as busquet's replacement. however xavi did not want to rush his development and took time with him. just look at bernal to see what happens to rushed players
True but Bernal's injury was a knock not an innate injury problem, but Xavi didn't use casado enough because it takes a lot of quality to play as a pivot in xavi's system that's why he was reluctant to use him
@tanushsharma1885 yeah but this "knock" only affected bernal as much as it did because he wasn't developed physically yet. as for casado then yeah that could possibly too, but xavi was gonna eventually include him in his plans.
@@MrRSX-jz5gd impact injuries happen Even to full grown players, look at frenkie or ter stegen last game, even yamal and cubarsi are 17, arsenal played a teenager in their last game, saka debuted at 18. Although we do tend to overexert our player example being pedri n gavi, ansu's situation could've been avoided if koeman didn't rush him after his operation but Bernal only played 3 games for Pete's sake that's not rushing a player
Well here's the easy answer. We're going to have two teams with a team because that's what Flick did at Bayern. He's a let's go win the sextuple sort of guy so everybody will have the option to play lots of minutes if win the team important hardware. We're just going into squad depth atp.
Rotation is inevitable because the c1 has increased the number of games, and then we have the ridiculous international break every fucking month 😅. You guys think we have too much midfielders? No we don't.
We do have too many midfielders. But we don't have anyone good enough to replace Lewandowski, Raphinha, Lamine, Kounde. If they get injured (knock on wood) we're doomed.
@@Novice-bn1xu You can find everyone's salary on a quick Google search. FDJ said that the media lies about his salary, that it's nowhere close to what they say it is. But he didn't give us any clue about what amount would that be. And he was brought during Bartomeu's tenure, when the club was splashing a lot of money on salaries and transfers. So I believe that FDJ is lying to save face (too much money for an always injured guy).
Just rotates [Frenkie, Pedri] & [Gavi, Casado] ... as double-pivot. Put an AM in front of the double pivot(s) ... e.g Olmo, Raphinha ... even Fermin, Pablo, Noah, Toni. Optimal mid-field trio ...

[World Cup 2022] [Pedri, Busquets, Gavi] played all 4 games Total G/A: 1 [Euro 2024] Dani Olmo ...... 3 goals 2 assists (AM, LW, RW) Fabian Ruiz .... 2 goals 2 assists (CM, DM, AM) Rodrigo .......... 1 Goal 0 assists (DM, CM, CB) Total G/A: 10 * Pedri ............ 0 Goal 1 assist (played 4 games) Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Euro Winning Campaign - Dani Olmo. Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Olympic Games Winning Campaign - Fermín López.
De Jong has the highest salary and is an injury freak. He's also a midfielder and we already have lots of them. Sell him to offload his wages and bring in a worthy successor to Lewandowski.
We already have lots of midfielders, both offensive and defensive. FDJ is an injury freak and has the highest salary. He's most definitely not irreplaceable. Man United is interested in him. I say sell him, let get rid of his high, unjustified wage.
Do not overhype Gavi (and Pedri). Gavi is just a passionate player, with intensity. Every tackle he makes, risk a card ... (Famous Araujo's PSG red card incident). His other areas (ball control, dribbling skill, passing distribution, G/A etc) are simply mediocre.
@@Novice-bn1xu I said it in another comment and a fan got upset. Gavi is a butcher, has temperament control issues that costs lots of cards. We could use 11 players in the field in every game. No smooth ball control, precision only for short passes. Hard, unnecessary fouls in the centre of the pitch. Casado does everything better without getting unnecessarily carded.
Barca fans miss understand breaking throughbat 16 or 17 says more about your team than it does the players. Ajax and sporting dont even play players that young so much.
No, I think you are in the wrong here if I understood you correctly. Anyways, what I mean is his surname is Casadó and the correct pronunciation in Catalan is kəsəðó - stressed on the last syllable (and with a voiceless s sound, as he himself said prefers it). It's an almost identical spelling to "Casado" (just the accent mark is different), which in Spanish you would pronounce kasáðo, stressed on the second.
I think there's a club in an African country that might be interested in Ferran. But only as a free transfer and as a substitute for one of their star players 🤣
The fact that you think any of Gavi or Pedri starts over a fit Frenkie, tells me your football IQ is stats based. Like those who think bellingham is a better player than Pedri
@@escobarca8944 "Maybe there’s also a little Pedri-Gavi bias involved" Emotionally, people want [Pedri, Gavi] to play ... but they are just toothless mid-field duo. Practically, only one should start in any one game. Do anyone think Spain would have won the Euro 2024 ...if the toothless mid-field trio [Pedri, Busquets, Gavi] plays ? [World Cup 2022] [Pedri, Busquets, Gavi] played all 4 games Total G/A: 1 [Euro 2024] Dani Olmo ...... 3 goals 2 assists (AM, LW, RW) Fabian Ruiz .... 2 goals 2 assists (CM, DM, AM) Rodrigo .......... 1 Goal 0 assists (DM, CM, CB) Total G/A: 10 * Pedri ............ 0 Goal 1 assist (played 4 games) Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Euro Winning Campaign - Dani Olmo. Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Olympic Games Winning Campaign - Fermín López. If Flick want goals, an AM/SS is needed ... to bolster the attack force. Current optimal attack force ... until an elite LW comes along. Lewy Raphinha/Olmo Olmo/Raphinha Yamal Frenkie Pedri
"Fati is no big talent, he is just an over paid bum." Fati is a talent ... until his injury. He opted for conservative treatment (just like Umtiti). The only variable is ... whether he recovers his debut form ... that fast paced explosive dribbler ? If one sees him continue to pass the ball horizontal or backwards, when an opposition player(s) approaches him, that means he has not recover fully (be it mentally or physically) ... Then his Barca game over.
Mentally he's not ready. Many players after long or repeated injuries don't have to courage to get into tackles, duels. It's normal. But it's holding the team back. He'll never be who he was before injuries. Just let him go, we need strong, fit brave players.
1:12 Mental how players like Gavi Yamal Pedri set standards so high, we think breaking through at the age of 21 is considered late😭😭
Exactly 😅

Hopefully he stays 😢
Your forgetting that our while midfield is is Injury proved apart from casado and 8 didn't even add cristensen
Hansi won’t bench Casado he’s going to be subtitling him for Gavi or de jong and sub Pedri for Gavi then olmo for fermin
you cant sell Gavi no chance
No, they’d rather sell De Jong
noone in their right mind would even want to sell him.
Do not overhype Gavi (and Pedri).
Gavi is just a passionate player, with intensity.
Every tackle he makes, risk a card ... (Famous Araujo's PSG red card incident).
His other areas (ball control, dribbling skill, passing distribution, G/A etc) are simply mediocre.
@@Novice-bn1xu what the fuck are you talking about??
@@Novice-bn1xu I said it in another comment and a fan got upset. Gavi is a butcher, has temperament control issues that costs lots of cards. We could use 11 players in the field in every game. No smooth ball control, precision only for short passes. Hard, unnecessary fouls in the centre of the pitch. Casado does everything better without getting unnecessarily carded.
Is Marc Married?
I don’t know haha
Casado gavi and fermin are ralated somehow 😂
Barca fans miss understand breaking throughbat 16 or 17 says more about your team than it does the players. Ajax and sporting dont even play players that young so much.
Xavi wtf?!! He was right under your nose!
Need to get rid of de jong.. casado is affordable de jong with better club loyalty
Rotate the F out of the squad, so opposition teams doesn't know whats coming,.
We did that against Osasuna, you saw the outcome.
cassado, not casadooooooo
No, I think you are in the wrong here if I understood you correctly. Anyways, what I mean is his surname is Casadó and the correct pronunciation in Catalan is kəsəðó - stressed on the last syllable (and with a voiceless s sound, as he himself said prefers it). It's an almost identical spelling to "Casado" (just the accent mark is different), which in Spanish you would pronounce kasáðo, stressed on the second.
Sell frenkie de Jong
barca fans haha
It's time to sell De Jong and Ferrán.
I think there's a club in an African country that might be interested in Ferran. But only as a free transfer and as a substitute for one of their star players 🤣
Sell balde play gavi on the left fullback
Play Gavi left back?? What's next, play Lewandowski defensive midfielder and Szczesny striker ?😉
The fact that you think any of Gavi or Pedri starts over a fit Frenkie, tells me your football IQ is stats based. Like those who think bellingham is a better player than Pedri
Maybe there’s also a little Pedri-Gavi bias involved😅
@@escobarca8944 "Maybe there’s also a little Pedri-Gavi bias involved"
Emotionally, people want [Pedri, Gavi] to play ... but they are just toothless mid-field duo.
Practically, only one should start in any one game.
Do anyone think Spain would have won the Euro 2024 ...if the toothless mid-field trio [Pedri, Busquets, Gavi] plays ?
[World Cup 2022]
[Pedri, Busquets, Gavi] played all 4 games
Total G/A: 1
[Euro 2024]
Dani Olmo ...... 3 goals 2 assists (AM, LW, RW)
Fabian Ruiz .... 2 goals 2 assists (CM, DM, AM)
Rodrigo .......... 1 Goal 0 assists (DM, CM, CB)
Total G/A: 10
* Pedri ............ 0 Goal 1 assist (played 4 games)
Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Euro Winning Campaign - Dani Olmo.
Spain’s Top Scorer in the 2024 Olympic Games Winning Campaign - Fermín López.
If Flick want goals, an AM/SS is needed ... to bolster the attack force.
Current optimal attack force ... until an elite LW comes along.
Lewy
Raphinha/Olmo Olmo/Raphinha Yamal
Frenkie Pedri
Frankie has to go.
Fati is no big talent, he is just an over paid bum.
Stop talk trash flick wil bring ansu all potencial.
You don’t know Fati under Messi’s time.😅😅
"Fati is no big talent, he is just an over paid bum."
Fati is a talent ... until his injury.
He opted for conservative treatment (just like Umtiti).
The only variable is ... whether he recovers his debut form ... that fast paced explosive dribbler ?
If one sees him continue to pass the ball horizontal or backwards, when an opposition player(s) approaches him,
that means he has not recover fully (be it mentally or physically) ... Then his Barca game over.
Mentally he's not ready. Many players after long or repeated injuries don't have to courage to get into tackles, duels. It's normal. But it's holding the team back. He'll never be who he was before injuries. Just let him go, we need strong, fit brave players.
