Barcelona’s supporters have on Saturday evening made known their frustrations with head coach Hansi Flick.
This comes owing to a selection decision on the part of the club’s boss, during their latest outing.
Barcelona, of course, are currently locked in action on the La Liga front.
Sandwiched between a pair of Champions League fixtures against Inter Milan, the Blaugrana have made the trip to the Estadio José Zorrilla, for a meeting with bottom-of-the-table Real Valladolid.
And, despite a scare upon falling behind early on, the evening’s visitors have since turned things around, leading by two goals to one late on.
Despite their side’s advantage on the scoreline, however, as alluded to above, many of a Barca persuasion have nevertheless been left frustrated with their manager.
Specifically, this comes owing to a change made by Flick at half-time.
With 45 minutes on the clock, and his side trailing by a goal to nil on Saturday, Barcelona’s headmaster opted to haul off Ansu Fati, to be replaced by Raphinha.
The substitution quickly worked a charm, as Raphinha levelled things up less than 10 minutes after stepping onto the pitch.
Many, however, are of the opinion that Ansu Fati should not have been the man taken off. Instead, fans desperate to see the Spaniard afforded an extended opportunity to impress have criticised Hansi Flick for not sacrificing attacking partner Pau Víctor, instead.
