Hansi Flick gave Dani Olmo a blue bib for the party yesterday in Barcelona’s training. On one side the headlines played for tonight in Mestalla in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, in the other team those who will allegedly start on the bench. In the middle, Olmo and Frenkie de Jong, who collaborated with the side that the ball had at all times. Give an idea of the hierarchy that the German coach grants to the medium of Terrassa, this season’s star signing, for which 55 million were paid after winning the Eurocup and to which the Flick knew well of its passage through the Bundesliga.
In Barça they await the return of Olmo. In the coaching staff they trust that with the footballer’s contest the level of the Blaugrana is raised and put as an example 5-1 to Betis in the previous Ronda Copera, in which the game flowed with Olmo acting as false 9. He gave two Assistance
He has only played 149 minutes in 2025
The coaching staff is marked as a goal to have the star signing for the next four months
Therefore, they consider important the reappearance of the 26 -year -old player, who today will receive the medical discharge before traveling to València, but at the same time they are marked as a goal to have it regularly during the decisive stretch of the season.
Barcelona now links nine games in a row without knowing the defeat, since Atlético took the points of Montjuïc before Christmas. Interestingly, at this beginning of 2025, the former Leipzig has only been able to participate in 149 minutes. Very little after the club obtained for him and for Pau Víctor the precautionary CSD that returned the federative file provisionally.
We are going to control Dani’s charges and know his feelings to adapt ”
However, before traveling to Lisbon, the mediapunta suffered an overload in the right leg. Olmo, who could not be in Barbastro or in the semifinal of the Spanish Super Cup due to the mess of the failed registration, four meetings have now been lost for the inconvenience.
In the soccer player’s environment they also believe that all the stress that lived the first days of the year with the uncertainty of whether could play this course again with Barcelona – the CSD must still resolve on the bottom of the matter of Barça’s resource and even You can revoke the registration – it has affected you. An extra tiredness that could intervene in some way in the last injury.
Rayo, Valladolid and Girona
In August, the entrance of Olmo hit three goals in three games. A similar but more sustained effect is sought
Despite the problems, muscular – it was a month stopped between September and October – and bureaucratic – he also stayed out in the first two days – Olmo remains the tenth field player with more minutes in the Barça squad. With 960, he has played more than Ferran Torres, Jong, Eric Garcia and Gavi, players who are gaining weight in the second part of the course.
In total there are 18 games (10 title) and 6 goals in a campaign until now marked by irregularity. “Dani is an option for the second part,” Flick revealed about his plans for today. On the other hand, you will not be able to count on Gavi medical protocol after its shock after colliding head with Conechny in Barça-Alavés. Where alternation is not expected is in the goal despite the fact that Iñaki Peña played in front of Betis. “No, Szczesny is number 1,” reiterated the German, who is going very seriously for the Cup. “It will be very different from the 7-1 of Montjuïc, we play outside and they will press. We can lose a title and we don’t want to lose it, ”he warned.
Szczesny is number one, clearly. I have chosen it for your personality and your style of play “
In August, Olmo’s entrance was an acceleration, scoring in his first three appearances (Rayo, Valladolid and Girona). Now they look for a similar but more sustained impact on time. “Dani in many games has shown how important it is for us. He is a midfielder who scores goals and maintains possession. He has already had several injuries and you have to be careful. We are going to control the load of efforts and know their sensations to adapt. We want to count on him for all matches, ”Flick acknowledged for the four key months.
In addition, the footballer has in March in March the quarterfinals of the Nations League with Spain with a cross, in a double game, against the Netherlands.
Without elmo, the midfielder position has had several tenants. “Gavi and Fermín have done well in recent games. They attacked and pressed up, knew where to position themselves and when running. They are always in front of the goal, which allows them to mark, ”said Flick on what he asks for the third midfielder, put to which Olmo aspires when he takes rhythm again. Agent 020 has a license to accelerate.
