Every article: Olmo is Barcelona’s new versatile midfielder. He can play in the advanced position of both defensive midfielders.

November 12 According to the "Daily Sports News" report, Olmo is Barcelona's new midfielder all-rounder. He can serve as a more advanced position in the double midfielder.

Although this is not his favorite position, because Olmo has always played close to the penalty area, this is the best position to show his talents. But he once again showed his versatility on the court and adapted to his new role. During the warm-up for the trip to Celta Vigo, Casado was injured and Flick went to the bench and told Olmo that he had to come on and play the role usually played by Pedri, partnering De Jong. In the end, he completed the task very well.

His statistics for this game are: three chances created, 93 touches (his average is 50 per game), six steals and three shots, in addition to winning 50% of the duels and being fouled three times. Therefore, the evaluation of Olmo's performance as a defensive midfielder against Celta Vigo was positive.

Flick believes that his characteristics best suit the needs of the team, and believes that Bernal is not yet suitable to play a full 90 minutes in a demanding away game. And Olmo accepted the challenge and proved that he is always ready to contribute to the team. Every indication is that this won't be his last.

Now, Olmo will represent Spain in two World Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Turkey before returning to Barcelona. Barcelona's next game will be against Athletic Bilbao on November 22, and Flick will not be able to use De Jong because he was sent off against Celta Vigo and must be suspended for one game. Pedri is still recovering and cannot play. As for whether Casado can play, it is still unknown.

Whatever the situation, Olmo's role as the more advanced player in the dual defensive midfielder position seems to have been guaranteed. Although this was a completely new area for him, with different responsibilities than he was used to. In La Masia's youth academy, he played as a center forward. Over time, he gradually moved to the winger, which is also the role he often plays in the Spanish team.

Indeed, Olmo plays best near the penalty area. As a midfielder, he has the ability to score goals and a fatal final pass, and is very good at breakthroughs. In fact, Flick used him as a winger, center and attacking midfielder. Now, he will also play in a defensive midfield role. Against Celta Vigo he has shown that he is one of the most versatile players in the team, just like Eric Garcia.
