@@jazul123because under Xavi control was the main thing controlling the game tiring the opponent to attack the space faster and under flick it's all about relentless attack creating chances and in la liga it will be going to be interesting because Spanish football is all about technical players and slow game pace and German is all about pressing and intensity. I'd love to see this approach against teams with 5 backs and defensive mentality because flick style gave opportunities to the opponent to attack the spaces left behind and Barca missed some very good chances 2 because of teenagers

I think in the 2nd half, flick fixed the problem and went back to his usual pressing style. The 1st half was bad because he changed his pressing considering Lewandowskis age and he wanted the wingers to apply more oressure. 2nd half, Lewandowski was more involved in pressing and i dont remember any significant opportunity that Valencia had in 2nd half and barca could have easily scired anither 2 goals
@Tacticfreak123 күн бұрын
You always get everything spot on, I really enjoyed the analysis too. I feel like the main reason why Flick wanted the wingers to press the centre backs was because of Lewandowski. Cox he doesn't have the legs anymore to press the entire 90 minutes but the problem is against big teams with quality players it can hurt them a lot but this is the first game and am sure Flick will make some tweaks and one thing that probably flew under the radar was that Barcelona didn't look really vulnerable on the counter and also Valencia didn't and couldn't play through their midfield directly with a pass or two compared to other seasons especially last season. This was because of the way they compacted the middle which forced Valencia to play wide. TOP TIER ANALYSIS

Considering Iñigo, Bernal, Casado, Ferran aren’t starters and Raphinha being played out of position as a CAM… this was a really good result with a really good and important win. We 65% possession, 18 shots, 6 on target, Flick had us playing great football this match could’ve easily ended 4-1 with the chances Casado missed. Obviously there are things to improve, but most of the ugly came from individual errors like Iñigo being unaware defensively, Ter Stegen giving a bad pass almost leading to a goal, and Ferran just being absolute dog sh!t. But as a team we looked pretty solid and when our starters return I’m hoping we look even better.

I agree with what you said, but not how you said it. Many tactics videos are saying "this is how x manager is playing" and it has only been pre-season or 1 game of the season. Pre-season results never matter and it is all about experimentation, and one league game obviously isn't enough to distinguish how a team will play tactically for the season - I agree that you should wait for 4-6 games before saying "this is how x manager is tactically setting up the team". However I do think you can have individual game tactical analysis "X vs Y" and then talk about potential patterns that did/didn't work. I also agree that it is easy to fall into the assuming trap of how the team will play after one game. HOWEVER, I think you phrased it in an aggressive manner and all the tactical channels are releasing tactic videos because engagement with the season is high and people want to know how the new managers will want to set up their team. Can't blame them but it just means the in depth analysis won't be as good as it will be in 4 weeks time (but 4 weeks is a long time to wait on YT)

7:36 I didnt like that "Flick Ball" for the equalizer but it was good play to capitalize on the situation. I like Raphinha he will work hard but not in the CAM, that caused us to not really have much control of the game (when Pedri came on it showed what kind of control I am talking about). Pablo Torre would have done a better job and play Raphinha on the left, but because this was a season opener I guess Flick didn't want to "over step rank" so to speak.

You're evaluating the Barca game incorrectly. Flick's whole concept is based on aggressive attacking football and generating chances. So defensively, he's sacrificing the wings but keeping a strong center. So the best way to judge would be the conversion of expected goals. As they approach closer to conversion 100%. They'd be well on their way to be like Flick's Bayern

Interesting analysis! Flick's first La Liga match certainly showcased his tactical vision, with Barcelona's attacking play being dynamic and engaging. The pressing shape and defensive setup, however, did leave them vulnerable, particularly on the flanks and when Valencia exploited gaps. It's clear that while the attacking intent was evident, especially in how Barcelona used the wide areas and created chances, the defensive structure needs refining. As Flick continues to adjust, it’ll be intriguing to see how he balances these aspects and improves overall stability. Looking forward to seeing how his tactics evolve!
