Footballing pressure will be high simply because of the obvious with this being a big opportunity for him to resurrect his career and minutes will have to be earned under Flick.  Moreover, there are youth players from Masia (Virgili in particular + Roony) who will be pushing for winger minutes in addition to Raphinha, Ferran, Fermin & Lamine that will be surely fighting for minutes.  Then there’s Flick who will have a meritocracy in terms of those minutes and that means Marcus will have to fight hard for those minutesHis versatility to play anywhere along the front attacking line means he can even get Lewy’s minutesChange in club culture, language and playing style also means it takes time to adapt which is good that he will have a proper integration in the pre-season tour ahead of new seasonI have to believe the player is very motivated, we’ll see how he performs</blockquote>
