World Sports: Conde continues to be sluggish in the new season, either regaining his fighting spirit or sitting on the bench

Hupu News on October 7 Conde is a plug-and-play signing for Barcelona. He was previously Xavi's first choice for the central defender position. Barcelona paid 50 million euros to Sevilla in July 2022, and Laporta's personal guarantee enabled the league to register the player. He has played in every game since then, never suffered an injury and played a key role in two league titles won over the past three years.

He is not a goalscorer, but his wonderful goals helped the team win the Copa del Rey final against Real Madrid last season. Since the signings of Alves, Bellerin and Cancelo all met expectations, Konde was fixed at the right back position. His cooperation with Yamal on the wing is something we have not seen since Messi partnered with Alves at his peak.

However, at the beginning of this season, Conde showed hesitation, lost his direction, and was far from his best level. Flick obviously saw something, because in the first three games, the starting right back has been Eric Garcia. In the last three games, Conde's conceding goals have often appeared in the picture. Against Real Sociedad, Barrenechea made him a background in the first goal. The referee was merciful and only gave him a yellow card for a tackle that should have been a red card. At the last moment of the game, he was delayed when he got the ball and was intercepted by the opponent. Fortunately, Real Sociedad did not equalize.

No one said much that day, because Conde scored the first goal of the team's counterattack. Against Paris Saint-Germain, he did a poor job pressing the first goal he conceded and subsequently did not commit the necessary tactical foul. At Sevilla, he looked as lethargic as the rest of the team, but he was once again dispossessed for being distracted during the home team's second goal. Now he can either regain his fighting spirit or sit on the bench.
