Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has been forced to experiment with Frenkie de Jong in central defense due to an injury crisis in the team's backline. De Jong, a midfielder by trade, performed well in his new role against Alaves, completing 124 accurate passes and touching the ball 135 times. However, Flick acknowledges that the test against stronger opposition will be more challenging. The experiment could provide Barcelona with a useful option, especially with Rodri in midfield, who can control the tempo and provide balance.
