Scored a classic Müller goal today in his record appearance for Bayern. Great touch to pull the ball out of the air in the box and spin past his marker, then hammered the half-volley down into the ground and into the net.
Nah, he played pretty flawlessly. That wasn't why he was subbed. I expect Casado to be a starter for the time being. His main "flaw" is his height. Depending on the opponent, Flick might want to inject more height into the midfield.
Flick builds far more triangles than Xavi; his are just far more dynamic and through the middle. Triangles on the wings do nothing but shut the team down most of the time.
Damn this Barca is fun to watch.
Flick sets up to drive the ball through the center as much as possible. For the past few years, they've been corralled mostly harmlessly out on the wings. Also seems to be the tactic to find the open teammate in the most advanced position and advance the ball...
No doubt— Flick-ball miles more entertaining than Xavi-ball. Barca fun to watch again. Much more trying to work balls through the middle with slick passing.
Olmo exactly what Barca needs— attacker with instincts and finishing ability. otherwise, it's all build-up, no result.
Gavi and Fermin add that as well.
