TA: The management of Barcelona’s medical team is chaotic, and Flick often receives two completely opposite medical reports.

According to TA reports, the number of injuries in Barcelona this season has surged from 8 in the same period last year to 12. The root cause is the serious internal friction and management chaos between the club's internal medical and physical fitness teams.

Currently, a "palace battle" between old and new forces is taking place within Barcelona. The core conflict occurs between Julio Tous's fitness team, which has been given heavy weight this season, and Barcelona's original old medical team. This opposition puts head coach Flick in a dilemma. He often receives two completely opposite medical reports.

For example, in the case of Ferran Torres, one group vowed that he could play, while the other group warned that he had not yet recovered. As a result, although Flick included him in the squad, he sat on the bench for the entire game and did not dare to use him at all. As for the treatment of Garvey's knee injury, the two groups also disagreed. One side advocated conservative treatment, while the other insisted on immediate surgery. In the end, Barcelona chose conservative treatment, but it ended in failure. Garvey could not escape the fate of surgery after all.

Under this kind of management chaos, the players are not only injured, but more like "victims". This season, Barcelona handed over the key link of "re-adaptation" of injured players to the Tus team, with disastrous consequences.

When the 18-year-old rising star Yamal was being treated for osteitis pubis, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Tus team's rehabilitation plan. He even complained directly to the club angrily, and finally successfully applied to replace other staff members to be responsible for his rehabilitation.

What is even more outrageous is the 22-year-old Bald. The reason for his hamstring injury last month was actually the incorrect use of equipment in the gym. According to people familiar with the matter, the reason for his improper operation was entirely because he listened to the wrong instructions from the staff. This was simply "trapped" by his own people and put him on the injured list.

Rafinha's repeated injuries became the trigger for this crisis. In order to catch up with the national derby, he was assigned to high-load training too early during the recovery period, which aggravated the injury. According to people familiar with the matter, Rafinha had already relapsed in the same part of the body during the international match two weeks before the national derby, but the matter had been concealed and not made public before.

After experiencing Raphinha's repeated injuries and Pedri's injury, Flick and the senior management finally couldn't sit still, held an emergency meeting, and decisively revoked some of the responsibilities of the Tus team. At present, Barcelona has returned to the medical structure of last season, and the Tus team has been essentially "relegated" and is only responsible for daily physical training. This change also made the players in the locker room finally breathe a sigh of relief.
