According to Marca, Barcelona coach Frick has high expectations for the 18-year-old Bernal and believes that he will become a key member of the team in the new season.

In an interview, when asked about the injured player, Flick specifically mentioned the 18-year-old Bernal and said: He is very satisfied with Bernal's recovery, although he needs to be patient because he also needs to adapt to the rhythm of other people's game.

Frick has always attached great importance to Bernal. Since last season's preseason, the Germans have been impressed by Bernal. Therefore, at the beginning of last season, the team arranged for Bernal to start in three games until he was seriously injured against Vallecano and was reimbursed for the season.

Flick also contributed on a psychological level during the player's recovery process. During his hospitalization, Frick visited him and gave him a psychology book that explores how to face and control fear. In addition, Frick also wrote the words in the book himself.

To the surprise of teammates, Bernal's physical fitness has undergone a huge change in his physical fitness over the past few months. Not only did he grow taller, but his muscles were also trained.

This season, it is not easy for Bernal to get playing time. The core position in the midfield seems to be controlled by the combination of De Jong + Pedri, and he also has to compete for a position with Garvey and Cassado. But Bernal has characteristics that others do not have. He can balance the team, act as a midfield fulcrum, and give other midfield teammates more mobility. At the same time, he also possesses the qualities of calmness and calmness.
