\r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div> FC Barcelona’s visit to Celta Vigo (2-2) reopened the debate on the need to sign a full-back in the next winter transfer window. Both Jules Kound\u00e9 and Gerard Mart\u00edn had a night to forget at Bala\u00eddos<\/strong>, with the Catalan player leaving the worst impressions in the match on matchday 14 of the League.<\/p> The ’35’ was a starter due to Alejandro Balde’s physical discomfort and was cautioned at the start of the match for a late tackle on Hugo \u00c1lvarez. Afterwards, Mart\u00edn was close to a penalty and expulsion in two plays with Iago Aspas as the protagonist<\/strong>. This led to Hansi Flick taking him off at half-time to put on H\u00e9ctor Fort who, at least, gave more peace of mind than Gerard despite playing with a different profile.<\/p> In the post-match press conference, Flick made clear his annoyance at the defensive errors when referring to the exit of Gerard Mart\u00edn and the expulsion of Marc Casad\u00f3. “I don’t make changes based on whether they get a yellow card. We made a lot of mistakes, we didn’t have confidence with the ball<\/strong>. I haven’t considered making Casad\u00f3’s change because of a yellow card. I make changes based on performance,” argued the German coach.<\/p> Kound\u00e9 completed his worst match of the season in Vigo<\/h3> On the right, alarm bells are also ringing in Barcelona. Jules Kound\u00e9, a guarantee so far in 2024\/25, had his weakest game of the season at Bala\u00eddos, with several inaccuracies in his start and a gross oversight that led to the 1-2 partial<\/strong> scored by Alfonso Gonz\u00e1lez in the 84th minute.<\/p> At the moment, H\u00e9ctor Fort is the only alternative to the Frenchman on the wing, awaiting the return of Ronald Ara\u00fajo. The ‘charr\u00faa’ has covered the right wing on several occasions<\/strong>, but it remains to be seen how long it will take him to recover his competitive rhythm after spending four months injured.<\/p> Bar\u00e7a do not rule out going for a full-back in winter<\/h3> For Bar\u00e7a, the possibility of signing a full-back in January remains open, although for now there has been no definitive decision on the matter. The left side would be a priority, with options such as Hugo Bueno<\/strong> (Feyenoord), Almugera Kabar<\/strong> (Borussia Dortmund) and \u00c1lvaro Carreras<\/strong> (Benfica) on the table, without forgetting Alphonso Davies<\/strong> (Bayern).<\/p> On the right, however, an immediate move is not contemplated, although there are several names on the cul\u00e9 radar thinking about next season. Alternatives such as Tiago Santos <\/strong>(Lille), Jeremie Frimpong<\/strong> (Leverkusen) and even Reece James <\/strong>(Chelsea). There has also been speculation about the possible return of \u00d3scar Mingueza<\/strong>, although his poor performance on Saturday against Bar\u00e7a may definitively dispel that rumour.<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FC Barcelona drew 2-2 against Celta Vigo in a game to forget for the Bar\u00e7a full-backs.
