Hans-Dieter Flick

[draconifire]

But yeah, 'SuIcIDaL HigH LiNe GonNA GeT FoUnD OuT SoOn'

Those EspnFc fucks, and some QSG channel on youtune still harping this tune.
Its actually laughable how clueless some people are.

I agree that Flick does in general a good job till now, thanks luckily Real Madrid lost 7 points lately. BUT, what I do not understand is why he is giving Lewanflopski so much credit and starts him in 9 out of 10 matches? I would like to see that he is willing to take some risks and try other players in that number 9 role including even bringing to first team the striker from Barca Athletic. Sooner or later we have to renounce once for all to this useless player.
He should show, at least in my opinion, that he still has balls or backbone, and sort this out.
I mean, any other couch out there would try to solve this dilema sooner than later. The rest of the team work so hard to create chances for this flop and he is not able to finalize any except penalties.
Is he keeping this guy in the team just for penalty kicks? That is my nightmare question.
Thank you in advance for any related matter comments.

We have no better striker. Ferran is a super sub and can't be relied on as a starter.
On top, Lewa is still Lewa. His reading of the game is elite.
We are all hoping its just a form drop and he reagains it. He's elite.
And he showed how good he can be in the first two months of the season.

Amazing tactics.

Breaking Flick's high line is easier in theory than in practice. This is what those "experts" who predict he's found out don't understand. You just hoof it over the defence, don't be offside and that's it. But we have seen it really isn't that simple, on many occasions. In the meanwhile you also have to defend against the immensely dangerous attack and evade madman pressing. Before you even manage to score your goals, Barca will take advantage of all your mistakes and soon you will find your team in a difficult position, pressured and demoralized. This is how Bayern, Dortmund and Madrid along with many naive La Liga sides got hammered. At first it looks like you have genuine chances but it ends in a 5,4-1 and eventually you get embarrassed with the result. It'a a risky system, but one that so far has brought us more good than bad.

This. Everyone is an expert until they get punched in the face.

suicidal high line found out . If you have any brain cells it's not rocket science, What are we discussing quantum physics now?

 

[draconifire]

One tactic that does seem to work is:

Keeping one player/striker offside always, crossing or hoofing the ball to one of the wingers who is onside but running, the striker then takes the opportunity of the chaos to be onside while sprinting. Something along these lines

Think Henry said this, and it did work in some of the games we lost.

Easier said than done as well

Our last line pays almost ON the midpoint of the pitch
How easy it is in such compressed space for any winger to stay onside?
Very hard...

It's an ingenious rebirth of Sacci's early 90s Milan idea by Hansi Herr Meister Flick

This is what I was talking about. The second goal

 

[Andresito]

That monster mentality after 0-2, it looked like we were going to devour Atleti. They didn't have 3 passes in a row.

 

[MonteCuler]

I don't want to jinx it but...

3 goals in the 1st half to one of the best (if not the best) defences in Europe. With the striker also missing two absolute sitters, that's 5 goals created.

This is why Simeone has so much respect for Flick. He probably never witnessed Barca this mentally strong. This is no dig on anybody but simply all previous Barca squads of the past decade or so would absolutely crumble after that 2nd Atletico goal and disappear completely from the field.

 

[Andresito]

Imagine if this was a packed Camp Nou too, madre mia

 

[DonAK]

This is stupid.

There's no point playing with such a high line at 4-2. Makes even less sense at 4-3.

 

[serghei]

A Simeone team just scored 6 goals against us at home in 2 games. Let that sink in.

 

[FCBfan22]

Subbing Gavi was a moronic decision.

Simeone played for 20 minutes. The first 10 and last 10. And scored 4.
