I appreciate your honesty. At some moments I felt like I was the only Barca fan who had doubts about Flick, and thought that hiring him would’ve been as much of a gamble as hiring a De Zerbi. I respect him a lot and the fact that he managed to put the players in the position to succeed is commendable, but the Bayern team he inherited was absolutely stacked. My first choice is, without question, Nagelsmann, and possibly De Zerbi after. Managers who’ve proven that their success relies more on their tactical brilliance than their players and the finances of their clubs.

I agree with these sentiments. It’s weird. Right now, Barca fans seem absolutely set on Hansi Flick and I think it’s very reductive. It’s like mass psychosis. People only see “we have bad culture and hansi flick work hard, therefore he will magically fix Barca’s mentality and culture” And that’s just way too oversimplified. You can’t just bring in a coach to completely transform a club. Hansi Flick doesn’t necessarily play to our squad strengths in any way. His philosophy isn’t wrong, but I could see a disconnect forming between him and the players who may not understand or be able to implement his style.

Also, the Bundesliga gave Bayern a chance to get macht practice whereas some leagues did not play at all. Then, the Bundesliga had finished 2 weeks before the Champions League playoffs continued which gave Bayern enough time to peak for this cup. I very much doubt, that this intensity can be replicated.

That was a very good analysis indeed. But I still love Flick. Flick's time as a German manager is really hard to judge imo because his style of game requires time to adapt for players, which they don't have at international level. Also, in the World Cup, as you mentioned, he tried to change it. But the problem is again, he didn't have time to prepare nor for him or the players. Kimmich tried to replace Thiago, which was terrible, as he was so slow at circulating that ball, almost as if the German players were tired after a very long club football season.

I guess Flick will join Barca. Nagelsmann makes no Sense due to the late arrival caused by the Euros and it's not even said that he will leave the German National team.

Klopp wont join a new Club this Summer and not many names will remain on the List without a fee and without any "complicated Backgrounds" as Zidane for example or Mourinho.

Roberto De Zerbi is the man

[@Dylan-cr5ub]

Hell no, Flick or Nagelssman has elite level experience. De Zerbi will be same as Xavi experimenting on that level that is bad not good because we need somebody who already has that experience and proved good football at elite level enough with the less experience coaches.

[@palemonhurtado8914]

@@Dylan-cr5ub Reason why I go with De Zerbi is because of the current state of our club. Low funds, extremely young squad coming through, and his tactical genius. Plays more than just 1 formation. Flick is in love with only playing 4231, Nagelsmann is in love with playing with the 3421. De Zerbi does it all (442, 433, 4231, 3421, 424) while doing it with a low budget and youngsters

[@Dylan-cr5ub]

Well i respect your opinion and i can see what you mean but isn't that similar to Xavi who also loves to experiment with multiple line-ups and 90% of the time that doesn't work with us. Most of the time we fail and we play haram ball style because players have to deal with multiple lineups, you gotta stick with maybe max 3 lineups and master that in training with your squad. I get what you say imagine if a player is injured and you need to play differently... but i think Flick knows this as well it's just that Flick played 4-2-3-1 and it worked with Bayern and once it works why change it? That lineup and good squad ofcourse gave him a sextuple, if it ain't broke don't fix it. I know that Flick knows more systems he is a world-class coach like Nagelsmann and RDZ. But i prefer the less risky Flick or Nagelsmann who have won in high-level football, they are all risky for the Barca job but going with RDZ is similar to keeping Xavi in terms of style, passion, desire,... we need someone who can make our squad more strength/physical and our mindset to create a killing goalscoring machine because that's what we lack goals/finishing. Flick also potentially wants to change the whole medical staff and i think that's great because our medical staff sucks constant injuries. The training sessions are also too much passing and controlling instead of finishing with pressure... because we miss crazy chances a lot of times. That's why i hope we go for Flick a new fresh air in terms of everything not only the coach but the whole coaching staff/medical/training... Nagelssman is also a good option but i prefer Flick. Remember if Flick succeeded at Germany everybody would’ve wanted him, give him a second chance, in 2020 he was the best coach in the world and still is one of the best coaches available at the moment that has experience on high level. About the low budget, young players... i think he can create something with this squad especially if Gavi, Balde... come back, especially his physical training style 🏋‍♂and playing style ⚽. He can create something good and the transfer market will also come. My preference/opinion is 1. Flick, 2. Nagelsmann, 3. RDZ, 4. Conte. @@palemonhurtado8914

Man I missed your video do keep posting them regularly and please spare your time and make a video on how de zerbi could be an option😊

[@runplugged7156]

Flick can make the Barcelona squad more aggressive and physical. The Barca squad has a few to no physically aggressive players such as the ones Flick had at Bayern. Players like Goretzka and Davies are highly aggressive on the pitch. Also, the Barca team are not used to high-intensity and high-pressure types of playing. Therefore, I think that Flick will make these changes and Barcelona will be able to adapt to the new tactical settings that modern football is applying. The problem with Barcelona is its old mentality of trying to always revert back and improve the tiki-taka tactics. It is just no longer effective and the board should seek a new playing mentality such as that of Flick. Moreover, Flick has a strong personality and won't accept any type of sedentary playing. Players will be forced to put more pressure on their opponents. The only issue Flick might face is the aspect of injuries, given that Barca players are not used to physically demanding games. Their fear of getting injured due to the physical confrontations costs the team a lot. In general, I think that Flick will make the Barca team better until the board can provide him with a more suitable squad to achieve titles. According to the media news, Bayern is in the process of selling players like Kimmich, Goretzka and Davies. So, if the board can find solutions to sign a few of them, it will make it easier for Flick to establish his tactics at Barcelona.

[@recapstv8636]

19/20 Bayern squad considered absolute stacked only after Flick took over. If as a Bayern fan I remember, lot of players in that squad on chopping board under kovac. Pundits question Muller and his age, there were doubts about Goretzka. The situation is kind of similar to what we are seeing now in Bayern. After Flick became coach and started winning consistently, then only the squad was considered best. I'm just pointing out our own view can change, so much about a squad and what we a player can do.

Hello!! Loved your video and analysis. I love the way you put so much effort in studying and analysing different tactics of different managers. And I would like to thank you for that. I have watched a video you posted some years ago regarding whether Marcelo Gallardo is the right man for a job in Barcelona. The squad has changed quite a lot since then and it would be very nice if you did a video of Gallardo coaching the current squad again. Tbh it is quite surprising for me to see Barca not going for Gallardo as the manager. What do you think could possibly be the reason for that? Is it inexperience in europe or not good tactically. I like to think he has quite a lot of experience in management of a club (not necessarily in Europe) and developing young talents. He's had quite a lot of success during his tenure with River Plate too. It is surprising to see no club from Europe approaching him for a managerial job and watching him go to Saudi for it. Thank you.

Great video. I also believe a good manager is one who is able to take his players to World Class stature which Flick had done with Bayern (Goretzka, Gnabry, Thiago, Davies etc). We have a great crop of young talents from La Masia & we need to account for the grooming factor in the new coach as well.

[@atroxozaur]

I'm glad you made a very cold approach to Hansi, made me think twice about it, because i was pretty much sure it's the best possible option. You really nailed it. What i remember and get most from Hansi Flick's Bayern was not only the enormous press and attacking style of play, but the sudden spike in quality from the same players that were there before him. It's like everyone was playing at 200%, and honestly that's my main point for Flick. I think the Barca has a great team, few speedsters for counters, great dribbles and passers for possesion base, but also players like Roque, Ferran, Raphinia who feel very comfortable with vertical play. Also i think lots of players could somehow adapt the Bayern roles. And i also think Barca need a breath of fresh air. We've been stuck on "Barca DNA", often forgetting they are other ways to dominate and win, so bringing someone like Flick could shake up the team for better. I still think Flick is the best option of what we could have, becasue i don't see Barca being succesfull with Xavi if he suddenly stays, Nagelsman would be the dream signing, as he could teach a lot, and is a tactician that can adapt multiple ways of play, but he's german coach for now. De Zerbi is another good signing i could see, but then again, currently he's at Brighton

[@noussommesparisiens6729]

Flick's solution for success is simple. It relies on the personnel; *Strong , powerful distance Ball-Carriers *Intelligent Runners off the ball *Physicality across the field to cover large amount of spaces OOP to form a solid rest defence especially in midfield *High Volume Shot makers and Chance creators. The lack of any of these profiles wouldn't make his system work. This was the difference between his time at Bayern and at Germany, he had these profiles at Bayern but not at the NT. If you want to sign him up, you either need to have these profiles already in your squad or at least have the funds to get him. If you don't, steer clear from him.

[@renanolivier316]

i remember that the physical aspect was the one which most stood out to me in hansi´s team, i think that without a team that is filled with players who can the whole field 120 minutes every week, it´s difficult for his style of play to work

[@AI-priest]

Please make a video about De zerbi for Barca. Thank you

[@20thCenturyPox]

Time will tell, but if things go his way this season I am looking forward to a thorough examination of Philippe Clement's career

[@danielf81]

pls do a deep dive on Ruben Amorim, i think one day he'll be the perfect coach for Barcelona, capable of develop youngsters, and playing a possession,based football and solid defensively...

[@EliasLatorreFuertes159753]

I agree with you at all means and even though Flick is not fully my cup of tea, honestly I also say that Bayern got the players to a great physique state and even though his tactics are not that compatible with Barcelona's defensive lacks right now he can give the team the proper method to have a way better shape, Barça is not doing a good job here, we've seen how many times how much this team lacks of resistance and other teams, no matter if they're better or worse they take approach of that weakness and a complete match or having an extension kills our team, also constant injures, we've all seen how many injured have we had, we may forgive about gavi because an ACL doesn't have to be fault of Xavi's physical team, but almost all our wingers have been injured at the same time except Lamine (only god knows how he hasn't been injured), Pedri until now has not been consistent at all, Christensen or Martinez haven't played lots of matches because they were injured or they weren't able to play the game properly even Oriol Romeu has had physical problems, and that's really worrying considering how little this player has played, all of this makes this team fairly easy to play against, last season this exact same thing killed us in Champions, Europa league and La copa del rey against Real Madrid, no matter we were playing far better deffensively, when this team had to play more than the national league, they falled apart almost instantly

YOu have one of the best central defenders in Europe, and one with a potential to become the best. Araujo and Cubarsi, both of them, with proper physical training are capable or stoping any counter attack, specially against Liga teams.

[@toantu3005]

Flick's success reminds me of Di Matteo at Chelsea. The correct way to go is De Zerbi now to develop young players. Then Nagelsmann later, after our financial issues are fixed. And of course, don't forget a good Sporting Director to replace Deco.

[@josephperez4602]

Hoping for De Zerbi. It seems like he's got that Barca DNA coaching style that we're looking for.

[@_IntroMe]

It may be bit controversial but, I honestly want Barca to come out from tiki-taka and Barca DNA stuff. I want someone who can guide the team towards modern, physical game play. Flick may be a good option but, I really want Klopp to be the next coach.

[@TalkingFootballWeekly]

It's not about the coach to be fair, it is about finding players that can fit his style. Xavi on Barcelona title with practically the same line up.

De zerbi is another setien, xavi & tenhag. Since 2015 no tiki taka manager other than pep has won the UCL and pep has unlimited resources. Nagelsmann is still isn't sure if he wants the Barcelona job or not. Flik is the best overall option and he is eager of the Barcelona job. Most importantly he is a mature man.

[@milsongriezly8]

What about a video on De Zerbi and Mikel Arteta

[@Forca_Barca]

In my opinion the type of manager Barca would need (even if it only were for a few months) would be a guy with fire inside like Conte who can transport their passion onto the players. The only thing keeping Barca back is their mentality problem ever since Rome and Messi's departure. We saw improvements under Xavi domestically since Barca seems to make a comeback every match in LaLiga it seems like but in Europe we still lack that winners mindset. At the moment I can't really see in any player except for Gavi but he's injured and only one player isn't enough to carry a whole squad (if his name isn't Messi). Therefore I feel like the tactics of our new coach won't be as important as his mental coaching of the players because when it comes down to only squad quality I would see Barca atleast in the top 3 worldwide ...

[@KarlSkorger]

De Zebri would make a fantastic manager at Barca

[@its_master_Roshi_Fkrs]

I think its better for barca to complete its season pretty earleirr this season and give all its players plaenty of rest and rehab . Players like pedri,gavi ,de jong , loanee fati , raphinha, ferran and even lamine needs this break. Also after xavi's departure hansi flick must be appointed as new manager in charge look as much as i like xavi it feels like hes mentally exhausted and the team needs a change in tactics and bit of change of playing style. Hansi flick is has good pressing with usage of wingers to open up the pitch now barca needs to cqrefully use their funds to buy a good central defensive midfielder and good winger .if they have money go for kvartskhelia or leao or else search for good winger whos good at roaming inside . To open up spaces . Hansi flick staffs will be much better comalred xavis i guess so thay why i think its good for barca for change in coaching staff at this stage . Msot imprtantly protect the coaching staff and players from media attacks and fans criticisms. Every project takes time to show result . The barca have good future talents just trust the process.

[@stringbean1]

[@abajiepeter]

[@curtischarles5299]

I dont think this is the best way to judge flick. We are assuming that he would play the same way bayern played because he coached bayern. But coaches tweak their game based on the team. This is why when journalist asked pep if he will play tiki taka at bayern ,he said no he cant because he doesnt have those type of players . The main thing we should be concerned with is if he play a possession based game ,which he does. Also he coached a club that has high expectations and he knows the pressure that comes with this .

[@ianlei2085]

There's no evidence that Flick is able to adapt and change his tactical approach.

[@acaerA1F]

What other way is it better to judge him realistically though? You should assume that “Verticality” is the style of play Flick is most likely to employ when the evidence firmly supports that notion. Even if we were to assume that Flick would employ a possession based style with counter-pressing structures what evidence has he given throughout his career that suggests his teams excel in that style of play? This is not to say that definitively Flick is incapable of doing so rather he is just a bigger gamble than he is a certainty and that is not what we need right now. Barca is in a very vulnerable state morally, financially and sportingly which is why whoever the next coach is has to be extremely malleable tactically and being able to keep morale high when we inevitably have struggles, because simply having success at another big club ain’t gonna cut it especially when the circumstances are drastically different.
