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.

[@BandileMtshali-n3t]

True I like Roberto de zerbi, he plays the barca way coz he emphasizes alot on finding the 3rd man and creating triangles on the pitch

[@its_a_ducky3467]

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.

[@Jersonx3000]

@@its_a_ducky3467As a Madrid fan I will tell you guys you need to plug in a few holes in the squad first. It’s the first time in a few decades that you guys don’t have a proven world class player in the every position of the pitch. And I mean actual world class. A coach will not solve all your problems if your players are just “decent”

I agree and disagree. I have seen some unbelievable defensive work from Pedri however you are right in a sense that he doesn’t run for it. He is more like stationed player similar to Busquets. And both can tackle and cut passes incredibly however non runs. Gavi isn’t good taking the ball but he uses physical aspects to run and push players like ramos. I would argue that both has defensive skills but in two different ways. Although I agree with you that in managed by Flik, Gavi works better and pedri because of style not skills

[@DrZaius3141]

This system only works with Bayern or PSG. Every other club has too much domestic competition. You can only play such a demanding style if you can rotate and rest a lot, and unless you're a big fish in a small pond that's not going to work.

[@amphiphil844]

​@@apomalachel8787Bayern had intense conditioning programs during lockdown, while other teams were unable to train. Improving stamina was the only thing to do during this time. 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. Especially when seasons are long, top players are scarce and not used to this level of physical output.

True. But i still want him back to Bayern instead of this Tuchel ball. Watching this disasterclass from Tuchel this season was painfull. One of the worst coaches i ever seen at Bayern. He is not the right fit. Defensive stle... This is not FC Bayern i know since iam a Bayern fan.... This is like a mid level team. FC Bayern was known by the relentless pressure they applied to the opponent with huge domination through the game. If they went 2-0 down they was still pushing and going and going attacking and they actually came back many times and won the games by conceding 2 goals at the 1st half but scoring 4 in the 2nd half.

We have a pretty young squad so you can't put the same muscle exercises on a 16-20 year old than you can on a 20-30 year old man.

[@djbarrerap]

You said that Flick's Germany became more rigid, less moveable, and that is very noticeable in the clips you chose. The comparison between the frantic rythm of his Bayern with his very plain Germany made me realize body language. The players seem tired and less confident. I remember his Bayern being a steamroller, they were so fast and aggressive! But then, Germany starts losing games, key players have less freedom, they concede, they start taking less risks, it's natural. You said it, Japan and Hungary found the way to break Germany's spine, and the team became a harmless, monotone group of decent players. I agree with you: Flick didn't seem to be able to change that from the tactical level, he seemed powerless and responseless. Germany became an average team. I remember now this video in which he yells at the squad in the dressing room against Costa Rica. He is just screaming and asking the players to react, to be wide again, and that's pretty much it. I was very excited about Flick to Barcelona, but seeing the video and writing this, I'm now full of doubts 😅 we'll see how it goes...

Not really, but signing Flick will change our players weaknesses.

[@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.

[@AkeelMori]

can't wait to watch the full video

[@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

[@septiarezano1008]

To think about how flick’s system was so successful, i think we can’t forget about his sharp attackers. St, amf and his wings and wing backs were quite sharp in that year, which is why he was bold enough to take risk with his high progressive play. Now the question with him in barca is that how many sharps players are there to accommodate his play style?

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.

What many don’t understand is that the barca board imposes a style of play on the newly signed coaches, the tiki taka is the barcelona ADN and many of the recent barca coaches failed to adapt it to their style except for ones that already played in barca such as koeman and xavi who kinda made it work. I find very difficult for flick to find some kind of balance between his style and barca who are a complete oppsite tactically speaking, and judging by his low experince as a head manager of big clubs and the recent results. Anyways if he manages to find that balance im prettty sure that the team is going to be a very challenging one.

[@patrickd.3341]

100% spot on. As good as Flick was for Bayern, his model is just not suited for Barcelona, at least in this current moment with the profiles Barcelona has. Too much reliance on verticality & athleticism. In terms of who'd I'd prefer for Barcelona (in order): Nagelsmann De Zerbi Flick

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.

[@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

It's just Xavi's decision-making in the games, trainings, medical issues... are horrible sometimes or he likes to experiment with the lineup in an important game. Also his character is more soft and charming, Flick is more blunt, hard... and i think that is what the Barca squad needs especially with physically 💪. Also RDZ proved it with Brighton not really a team at high level, he does good things with Brighton but Brighton is first not high elite level and Brighton is not Barca one loss against a top team or UCL game and you are going to get bombarded by the media/fans. Flick or Nagelsmann have this experience more in top elite football level coaching Bayern and the Germany team. @@jordyj4126

Let me ask this, couldn’t Flick’s model work with proper training? For years we have heard that Barca does not train hard enough. Wouldn’t this affect the back line and their ability to defend counterattacks? Of all the video Barca has shared of training I have never seen them training for counters. We need to think outside of this current Barca style and how players have played this season. We cannot limit their abilities by what we have seen this year or in the past.

[@Prasko131]

No club is stupid enough to post any tactical training in a video. Barca's training videos are all simple stuff like warm ups, shooting and team bonding exercises. Obviously they won't post anything tactical, even as simple as set piece tactics.

Flick's playstyle reminds me of Ten Hag at United this season. Extremely player dependent, however EtH tends to drop his defensive line which I don't understand

[@AvrilAlvarez]

I hate the Xavi sacking but Hansi Flick is a good replacement. I see it most likely succeeding but it could fail, but if it does, it's probably because the barca board are incompetent and still spending badly

[@yrtepgold]

Great analysis. I agree, the small sample size makes it difficult to know how it would go. I think a system like his works well when the players are in the younger portion of their career, bc it requires a lot of running. Old players are more suspectable to injuries. So his approach might work well for a young squad like Barca. They could keep the ball moving forward.

[@johndavid7361]

[@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.

[@anubhav7444]

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.

[@abdouliejallow4452]

I believe it's easier to drill a team to a system at club level than national..

[@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.

[@santiagoescobarortiz202]

The issue with Nagelsmann is on his contract, he'll be with Germany until july, and Barca will need to plan the squad for next season earlier, he has said multiple times that he will wait until the EURO ends to decide if he continues with Germany, if that's the case, the club can't wait for him. If he wants to come the club needs to reach an agreement way before that.

[@HarshaVardhan-gr7fs]

Bayern were loosing very badly when Nico Kovac was their coach, Hansi Flick inherited the same squad and turned their fortunes. So, I don't think so the current Barca's squad is a problem. Only thing that's stopping is Tiki Taka. Barca should move on from their DNA. Anyways, Visca Barca ❤

[@Alex-ds6sw]

That's because Kovac is a terrible manager who recently got sacked by Wolfsburg for his severe underachievement. The only reason he became the Bayern manager is because he beat Bayern in an one off game in the cup final and the philosophy of Bayern and Uli Hoeneß is to always take away the manager or players off the team that beat or might beat them in Germany. But one single game in the cup doesn't mean much.

4:33 The three points that you mentioned are EXACTLY why Barcelona need a no-nonsense manager like Flick. Barcelona right now is so addicted to their "philosophy" that they have forgotten the fundamentals of football. There is no movement, players just stick to their positions and somehow Xavi encourages it. There is no forward thinking - nobody cares to carry the ball or create something. At the first sight of trouble, they pass the ball back to the defenders. If Barca has to be rebuilt, they will have to completely destroy this addiction to positional play.

Barcelona needs Hansi Flick not only because of tactics Barcelona needs Flick because of his personality because of everything that he has
