Flick’s view of Szczesny being barely forward of Pena has nothing to do with the La Masia graduate’s tardiness challenge.
As an alternative, the Barcelona supervisor is of the assumption that the previous Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper supplies a better sense of safety between the sticks because of his better expertise.
When requested in regards to the beginning goalkeeper for Saturday’s match towards Getafe throughout his press convention earlier right this moment, Flick didn’t give something away, saying:
“I haven’t spoken to De la Fuente [goalkeeping coach]. We’ll determine tomorrow.”

Both means, tomorrow’s choice will doubtless set the tone for the remainder of the season as to who would be the beginning goalkeeper.
