"World Sports" published an article reporting on the arrival of the Frick Barcelona 2.0 era.

The 2.0 version of Barcelona coached by Frick set sail in Kobe, Japan, with the goal of surpassing the first-generation version of the La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super League Cup last season. Although the task is arduous, the whole team is full of fighting spirit. The Champions League trophy has become the team's biggest obsession, and Frick is realizing this unfinished dream through rigorous training and tactical upgrades. Since the pre-season training camp started on July 14, Frick has always maintained high-intensity training standards.

Although the warm-up match against Kobe Victory Ship is only a regular preseason, it is still highly anticipated as its debut this summer, and it was almost cancelled due to the default of the Japanese organizer. This contest will initially show the prototype of Flick's second phase project, which may witness the Barcelona debut of Joan Garcia and Rashford, who is expected to get playing time despite limited joint training time. Rising star Rooney Badge is also worthy of attention. This player who was originally scheduled to play for the B team is impressing the coaching staff with his performance. Tolentz, Gillette Fernandez and other echelon players will also seek opportunities.

This trip to Asia is also a stage for self-salvation for players such as Ford, especially the crowded midfield area will compete fiercely. Frick had previously hinted that his position was limited, and the Battle of Kobe may reveal his ideas for employing people. Bernal, who returned from injury, can be called a "new player". He showed a bull-like state at the training base. Although he may be resting in the first game, he is about to make a comeback.

In sharp contrast to recent years, Barcelona has rarely achieved joint training for all members this summer, but there is a gap between training and actual combat. The trip to Japan will test the quality of this renewed teacher.
