According to multiple fan reactions circulating online, Ronald Araújo and Dani Olmo have come under fire for their performances in Thursday’s pre-season clash against FC Seoul.

Barça Shine… But Not Everyone’s Applauding

Following a solid win over Vissel Kobe in their first outing, Hansi Flick’s men continued their Asia tour with a trip to South Korea. And while Barcelona were ahead on the scoreboard, thanks to a standout display from wonderkid Lamine Yamal, omo, not every player earned praise.

Yamal was flying, but Twitter and fan forums were buzzing with a different type of energy — and it wasn’t pretty.

Ronald Araújo – “Out of Sorts”?

Fans allegedly blasted Araújo’s display, calling him “off-pace,” “too reactive,” and not commanding enough at the heart of the backline. Some even claimed he looked “completely out of sync” with the defensive structure.

Omo, for someone seen as a defensive leader, this kind of dragging no be good sign o 😮‍💨

Dani Olmo Also Dragged Online

As if that wasn’t enough, Dani Olmo wasn’t spared either. The midfielder was called out for everything from poor decision-making to misplaced passes. One comment read:

“Olmo looks like he hasn’t kicked a ball in months. Touch gone. Vision gone. Everything gone.”

Another fan simply tweeted, “Olmo dey stress me pass Wi-Fi.” 

But It’s Still Pre-Season…

To be fair, it’s still early days under Hansi Flick, and most coaches use these games to test tactics and assess squad depth. However, Barça fans are clearly not in the mood for excuses.

With the new La Liga season just weeks away, the demand for sharpness and readiness is already sky-high.

Omo, even pre-season no get soft landing in Camp Nou again

Final Take

While the backlash might be a bit harsh considering the context, one thing is clear — Barcelona supporters are watching closely, and they expect every player to step up, whether it’s July or January.

Let’s just hope Araújo and Olmo find their rhythm before the real games begin, because omo… this kind dragging no dey sweet to watch.

Yep, you read that right — and it’s already raising eyebrows across social media.

Flick Rings the Changes at Halftime

Barça took to the pitch for their second friendly of the tour, facing off against FC Seoul. The first half was tight, with both sides having their moments, but the Blaugrana edged into the break with a narrow lead.

Then came the twist.

Hansi Flick, in typical pre-season fashion, made a full XI change at halftime — giving several fringe and young players the chance to impress.

But omo, wetin surprise fans pass be say Gerard Martín no return to his usual role.

Martín at Centre-Back? E No Be Small Something

With Jofre Torrents holding down the left-back spot after coming on, 23-year-old Gerard Martín was instead deployed in central defence, pairing with experienced defender Andreas Christensen.

Omo! This shift no just be small try-your-luck — it’s a full-blown test run 🧪

For those who followed his youth career in Catalunya, this isn’t entirely new. Martín was occasionally used as a centre-back back then. But this is the first major instance of him being tried there at senior level.

Flick Watching Closely?

According to whispers from club sources, this may not be a one-off experiment. With Barcelona’s squad depth still under review, Martín could now be under evaluation as a potential backup in central defence for the upcoming season.

E be like say Flick dey cook long-term squad flexibility — and Martín’s performance tonight could shape his future role.

Now the question is: did he do enough to impress?

Final Thoughts

This pre-season might just be the golden opportunity Martín has been waiting for. If he adapts well, Barcelona could end up with a versatile defensive option capable of covering more than one position.

But if not… Flick might need to start eyeing the transfer market again. One thing’s for sure — tonight’s positional change has given fans something to talk about.
