Hansi Flick expresses confidence in Barcelona's young center-backs

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has endorsed Gerard Martín and Álvaro Cortés as key center-back options for the upcoming season. Martín, who transitioned from left-back, aims to solidify his role in defense after a successful second half last season. Cortés impressed during preseason and is viewed as a reliable part of the first team. Despite potential interest in players like Aymeric Laporte and Cristian Romero, Flick seems satisfied with his current defenders. The focus now shifts to how these young players perform as Barcelona prepares for the new campaign.
