‘Got something here’ – Surprise Barcelona star singled out for praise during Daegu clash | OneFootball

A member of the defensive ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has on Monday evening come in for widespread praise on the part of the club’s supporters.

This comes owing to his performance in the Blaugrana’s latest outing.

Hansi Flick’s troops are of course currently locked in action, having made the trip to South Korea to round out the club’s pre-season tour of Asia in a friendly meeting with FC Daegu.

The Barca coaching staff called upon a strong starting XI for the clash, featuring the likes of Alejandro Balde, Frenkie de Jong and Lamine Yamal.

Also in from the off was Gerard Martín, made use of at centre-back for the 2nd game in succession.

And the efforts of the Spaniard to date appear to have gone down altogether well with those of a Barcelona persuasion.

Left-back Martín has looked more than comfortable in his new role, and even managed to lay on a fine assist for Robert Lewandowski during the first-half.

Many, in turn, have been quick to heap praise on the 23-year-old, amid suggestions that Hansi Flick may have discovered a legitimate new option for the heart of his backline moving forward.
