With the start of La Liga less than two weeks away, Barcelona head coach Frick is facing
rear guard
The conundrum of line arrangements. According to Mundo Deportivo.

The formation of the defense has become a headache for Frick and the coaching staff.
At left back, the recently recovered Alejandro
Baldr or Baldur, god in Norse mythology
is the preferred choice. Balde's return has undoubtedly added thickness to Barcelona's defense, but Gerard Martin's stellar performances have also caught the attention of the coaching staff and management, making the competition for the left back position even more intense.
The arrangement at right back is also full of uncertainty. Joao Cancelo's future remains up in the air, with Barcelona insisting on not paying a fee for a loan, while Cancelo himself wants to play for Barcelona. Available alternative options include Jules Conde and Hector Forte, both of whom have the ability to play at right-back.
The center back position has the most competition, with Frick having eight players at his disposal to choose from, including Conde, Ronald Araujo, Andreas Christensen, Erick Garcia, Kubasi, Inigo Martinez, Clemente Langré and Mika Faye. It's worth noting that Longley is likely to stay in the team for now, despite previous rumors that he would be leaving. Mika Faye, on the other hand, seems to be having trouble finding his place at the moment.
Alex Valle has earned himself more than a chance against Real Madrid, and his excellent performance has provided Frick with more options to choose from. In the upcoming friendly against AC Milan, Frick will have a final look at the squad for the new season's defense.
