Since the start of the season, FC Barcelona has crushed everything in its path. Even Real Madrid couldn't resist the Catalan fury in the first Clasico of the season. Hansi Flick's little protégés will try to confirm this very good result during the Catalan derby against Espanyol Barcelona this Sunday. Present at the press conference, Hansi Flick was full of praise for Ansu Fati, who has played little since his return to Barça: “I'm happy with Ansu, he's 100% fit. We'll see tomorrow if he starts, I can't tell you.” The same goes for Frenkie de Jong.
“I like what I see from Frenkie de Jong, he gives us stability and control”
During the match against Real Madrid, Frenkie de Jong was able to play for 45 minutes. And for a player who had just returned from injury, the Dutchman responded more than present, which greatly pleased his coach, Hansi Flick: “I like what I see from Frenkie de Jong, he gives us stability and control. He's a fantastic player. He helped us a lot during the Clásico, with his quality of passing and his retention of the ball. He had a very serious injury, he was out for several months. Now helps us have more options and that’s great for us.” Will he be the starter? Only Hansi Flick has the answer at the moment.
