According to a recent report from leading Spanish sports outlet Mundo Deportivo, German-born manager Frick has shown a high regard for Danish defender Christensen at FC Barcelona and is considering giving him a new role in the midfield position. This decision stems from Frick's in-depth analysis of Christensen's outstanding performance in the defensive midfield position last season and his high evaluation.
With core midfielders such as De Jong and Gavi temporarily unavailable due to injuries, Barcelona are facing a shortage of midfielders. In this situation, Frick began to consider moving Christensen forward to fill the midfield vacancy. Christensen is known for his stable defensive ability and excellent reading of the game, and these qualities make it possible for him to perform equally well in the midfield position.
In addition, Christensen's personal qualities won Frick over. As one of the most low-profile players in the Barcelona team, he has always remained humble and focused, seldom making public appearances in the media and social networks, and instead devoting more energy to training and matches. This quiet work ethic has shown Flick how valuable he is as a member of the team.
However, although Frick also holds an appreciation for midfielders such as Merino, given the club's current reinforcement focus on the striker position, the adjustment of the midfield lineup will rely more on the reconfiguration and role switching of the existing players. As a result, Christensen is highly expected to contribute to the team by potentially taking on more midfield responsibilities in the upcoming matches.
