Hans-Dieter Flick

[Barcaman]

I know catalan media praises you today, picks up the pitchforks tomorrow, but still beautifully said:

@scapde_45
: “The quiet man, the one who adapts to everything and will go to death with everything he has. The one who squeezes all the juice out of his team and makes them compete like animals. It is very difficult to win titles, but it certainly makes us feel proud of Barça.”

Certainly squeezed the shit out of Christiansen and Bernal and we are still in August.

Who is next? Lamine, Pedri, Cubarsi?

With Bernal being out, and we'll have to "rely" on the blonde dude, I'll adjust my prediction from a treble to the double.

Someone else can have the Copa.

Bernal
Gavi

Yamal
Pedri
Olmo

We would have freaking cooked.

Thankfully Xavi gone and those that fancied the Gundo AM behind Lewa with Xavi on sidelines were wrong also.

Poor set up above that would win nothing.

Interesting Raphinha fans back to wanting him on bench though..

 

[draconifire]

Hot take.
But if we got Nico, Raphinha would be benching him for the next two seasons.
For Flick, Raph>>Nico, until he learns to score goals and do inverted shits.

Hansi Flick discrepa con Laporta sobre un fichaje bomba para el Barça

El nuevo técnico azulgrana y el presidente del FC Barcelona difieren sobre una posible incorporación

In hindsight, it is worth revisiting the reports mid July which stated Flick preferred the signing of Olmo to Nico.

 

[jamrock]

The versatility of Olmo is a major asset.

We've been linked with Olmo for so long, someone at the club not named Xavi and flick must also have liked him as a player.

Or it would be a interesting alignment between Xavi and flick.

I think when everyone is fit, Olmo will split his time pretty close to 50/50 winger and AM.

 

[draconifire]

I dont think there is a single manager who would not want Olmo in his team. Guy is proper verstile while being one of the top No.10.
He opens up so many posibilities.

 

[jamrock]

With
Pedri AM/CM
Olmo AM/LW/CM
Gavi B2B/LW
Raphinha, Anywhere across the front 3.

Thier versatility will go a long way in making up for the squad depth, flick has to use them smartly to avoid burn out and injuries.

But that last bit is true for the entire team.

3 games played is "squeezed the shit out" in your opinion?

 

[KingLeo10]

If we get any more injuries, Hansi's going to author his own Mein Kampf

 

[Birdy]

First of all it was only the final, until then Bayern had completed dominated that cl. Secondly thats normal, even Real and City struggled in their finals and that was against Mbappe, Neymar, Di Maria - damn impossible not to concede chances against this trio 🦁

Not only that.

Hansi in the final played against one of the best knock-out tacticians in the world, big Thomy...

 

[Birdy]

Good presser by Flick! Journos trying to push him down with the injury problems we have but he just kept his cool and said - it is what it is, we move... God damn refreshing compared to Xavi fucking panic and negativity.

After the suffocating atmosphere by Xavi's whining for more than 2 years, can't tell you much this is a breath of fresh air my man...

...............de jong..pedri
Yamal......Fermin...Olmo.....Raphinha

“It is what it is. I never look at it. When I signed here, I knew what it was like in Barcelona. I'm happy with the team,” said the Heidelberg native, who replied to the question of whether he could confirm that Eric García would be staying: ”Yes, I can.” The defensive player has been linked with a re-signing at FC Girona, but is staying, according to Flick.

Flick doesn't care about Real Madrid's false start

“It's going to be a long season, I'm not concerned with the current situation. I'm focusing on our team, that's the important thing. We have to do our job”,

Flick: “When we watched the draw, we were a bit surprised how it came about. But it was great. Our opponents are very interesting, with two German clubs. But we'll see on Saturday when we know exactly when we play which team.”

About Frenkie:
“I hope he doesn't need an operation. I don't know that either. He's on his way, we'll have to wait and see what the situation is with the training load. Hopefully he'll train with us after the international break. But we'll have to wait and see,” said Flick.

15 - A vs Girona
19 - A vs Monaco
22 - A vs Villarreal


Three away games in a row after international break. Can't afford any injuries. Huge test for Flick.
