Barcelona Coach Enzo Flic Impressed by Israeli Midfielder Oriyan Goren

Barcelona is preparing for the upcoming season, which begins later this month, and during their current pre-season tour, 17-year-old Israeli midfielder Oriyan Goren has caught the attention of head coach Enzo Flic. According to the Spanish sports outlet Mundo Deportivo, Goren impressed Flic in training sessions and friendly matches, prompting the coach to send a clear message to the technical staff about his positive evaluation.

Flic highlighted three players during the recent England tour, Oriyan Goren, Xavi Espert, and Ibrahima Tonkara, as standout performers who may be invited to train with the senior team even after the club returns to Spain and the senior players come back from their World Cup breaks. Barcelona's pre-season tour is not yet complete, with upcoming matches in Italy against Udinese and Nottingham Forest. It remains uncertain which halves Goren will play in these games.

Next week, when the team returns to Spain, the newly crowned world champions, who have been on extended rest, will rejoin the squad and participate in the Joan Gamper Trophy. Goren’s strong performances suggest he could be on the path to inclusion in the final squad for the season under coach Ben Goldfreind.
