Hans-Dieter Flick

[Barcaman]

Highline and inchallah wont be viable if new rule is introduced officially next season. Many many of our successful offsides were due to part of the body being offside.

That new rule doesn't make sense but they could do it to spice things up and have more goals scored.

Its a strong possibility.. might be good for offensive football overall but for flicks specific way of playing it will be a big change and will create a serious reconsideration of barcas current practice.

When I think of it it could end up forcing teams to sit deeper and then we'd have an opposite effect of what they desire.

They should make offside for the whole pitch and not half a pitch.

That would really turn the game on its head and encourage attacking and territory.

Usually agree with most things you write, but I think that would be fucking awful mate. You might be right though.

They can run AI models for it.

I'm half asleep and trying to work out in my head if it would help offensive managers or defensive managers- or whether Mourinho would go full rugby and punt it for throw ins near the corner flag.

What's the new rule?

 

[KingLeo10]

124 goals in 40 games this season.

124 goals in 40 games this season.

And how many goals conceded since we playing these games

6 in a row in the league, great performance but one thing I will probably never understand... Why the fuck does Lamine have to play every minute?? For those saying Flick does it for his ego, he has proven multiple times not to be a spineless fraud who can't decide for himself with authority so I doubt that is the case. But then what is it?

Cause he cooking rn

 

[Barcaman]

And how many goals conceded since we playing these games

We conceded 1 goal in last 5 league matches

Not a bad rule.

It would be horrible for football. Football will become running straight and kicking the ball.

Beauty of football will be death.

 

[Messigician]

Flick will have an excellent problem soon

Europe better be ready if Barça manages to add both Neymar Jr. and Alexander Isak to their powerful attack.

In league games this season, Barcelona has conceded as many goals as Real Madrid (25).

This is an interesting stat. With our high line, you would expect us to concede significantly more than them.

On top of that - although it's different leagues and a little hard to compare it should be noted we also conceded less than Liverpool (26) and same as Inter (25), both considered pretty reliable defences and hard to get through.

Now I'm not trying to portray our defence as solid and claim it is on level of these teams but this just further solidifies my belief that Flick's high line is easier to exploit in theory than it is in practice.
