Hansi Flick explains decision to start Wojciech Szczesny for Barcelona against Benfica
Hansi Flick spoke before kick off against Benfica about why he has decided to start Wojciech Szczesny in goal for the Champions League tie rather than Inaki Pena.
Szczesny is back in between the sticks for the first time since his red card in the Spanish Super Cup against Real Madrid.
Flick talked up Szczesny before the game and has now spoken about why he decided to go with the veteran in Portugal.
“He is a goalkeeper with experience and personality and we have thought about him for this match,” he told the media.
“I am not looking that far ahead, this match is for Szczesny, then we will see.
“Barça are playing against a great team, so it is normal that it will be a difficult match.”
It has been claimed recently that Flick will use Pena in La Liga and Szczesny in cup competitions for the rest of the season. Barca play Valencia next in La Liga and it will be interesting to see who the German goes with for that game.
In a recent press conference, Bayern Munich manager Hansi Flick shed light on his decision to start Wojciech Szczesny for the crucial Champions League match against Benfica. Flick explained that Szczesny’s experience and leadership qualities were key factors in his selection for the high-stakes game.
Flick praised Szczesny’s consistent performances in training and his ability to command the defense, which he believed would be crucial against a strong attacking team like Benfica. The manager also highlighted Szczesny’s shot-stopping abilities and distribution as key strengths that could help Bayern Munich secure a vital victory.
Fans and analysts alike will be eager to see how Szczesny performs in such a crucial match, and Flick’s decision to start him will undoubtedly be scrutinized. Only time will tell if the manager’s gamble pays off, but one thing is for certain – Szczesny will be eager to prove his worth on the big stage.
