Marca: Frick rotates against Valento, Lewandowski, Rafinia, Ormo and others stay in the European Championship

Marca reported that Frick made a major change in the starting lineup against Valencia, and compared with the previous game against Vallecano, he made six adjustments.

The German coach made these adjustments mainly due to two factors. First, the national team match day caused two key players to fail to make the roster due to injuries: Yamal and Frankie De Jong. These two players are an important part of Barcelona's tactical system, but due to their poor physical condition, they can only watch from the wall.

The absence of these two players prompted Mark Casado and Badge to enter the starting lineup for the first time. The adjustment of the midfield position is obvious, as Gavey's absence greatly reduces the team's personnel reserves at this position. Although Bernal returns to the roster, considering that he has not been in the official match for a year, he obviously won't start against Valencia.

For Yamal's vacancy, Frick chose to fill it with Badge. While there are many alternatives, the coach decided to put key players Lewandowski and Rafinia on the bench next Thursday, so the Swedes and Rashford were on the starting lineup.

The other two players placed on the bench are Araujo and Ormo, who also have international match missions and are expected to start in the Champions League. Instead, Kubasi and Fermin were replaced.

Gerard Martin's selection is almost a foregone conclusion. With Barde absent due to injury (an expected recovery of several weeks is expected), Frick naturally chose his substitute. It is unlikely that Yofrey will be selected as the starter, but according to the progress of the game, he may still have a chance to play.
