Hans-Dieter Flick

[Horatio]

Don't care how players act at Madrid. This stuff was rarely seen at Barca.

Said earlier, think Flick was probably a bit too friendly with players.

Many here held Real’s club culture as golden standard for winning prizes. Was easy example.

What culture was that? Poking Tito in the eye, Ronaldo's antics? Or more recent circus with Vinicius, Belly, Rudiger and co.

Fairly sure I remember you on different moments commenting how their players are proud to wear shirt. Apologies if wrong.

Btw: it recontextualizes that moment where lamine wanted to get subbed off to let fati play. Probably Flick said then too there were minutes in there for fati and then Lamine wanted him to follow up on that

I hope Lamine does not continue to involve.

Funny thing is the one who should be most upset for lack of playing time is Pablo Torre. Guy actually played 400 minutes and has 7 direct goal contributions.

Give me a break with this moaners. Fort played vs Las Palmas from the start and he was a disaster. Who stopped him for looking like a competent fullback vs a relegation level team at home? Nobody.

I tend to agree. He's a great man-manager but I get the impression that Flick is getting too emotionally invested in these youngsters. When talking about the possibility of extending his Barca career, he dismissed it by emphasizing the need to spend time with family (grandkids etc). Given the age difference, he probably sees himself as a father figure to these youngsters. He's spoiled them way too much with the PDAs and his eagerness for post-match talks with them. It was about time they started acting petulant.

I would also highlight the degree of leeway he's afforded to Lamine. I dont remember the exact fixture but there was an instance in the match where he looked injured after a tackle and the coaching team had his sub prepared but Lamine did a "Kepa" signalling that he doesn't want to be subbed-out. And unlike Sarri, Flick & co happily obliged. And then the subsequent match, he wanted to be subbed out, and once again the coaching team happily obliged. At this point, he's deciding when and how he plays. No wonder he sulks so much when he doesn't get to be the dictator for the day. (There is an element of exaggeration but you. all. get. my. point.)

In short, our coaching team needs to stop being beta and show more authority against these 'gangstas'. Come summer, 2 of them should be shown the door.

 

[Temptation]

Flick is a good motivator in terms of on the pitch performances and efforts but he's not a great man manager.


You can tell. Just not his personality.

 

[jairzinho]

He's done a good job managing the squad. Alot of what he said was twisted by journos. No one talks about Endrick and Guler not getting any minutes.

 

[freetocan]

If we win LL and CDR is more than enough imo.

 

[snowy]

All this talk bout players kicking chairs and mopping 🧹 lol
They're just Karen role-playing thinking it gives them an edge and makes them look intense 😂

Just place a PowerKube at every stadium and give the crowd a good show then

I just hope they talked about it in training and calm down now. It's the dumbest timing you can have starting this wnb gangster shit, while we're in the most crucial time of the season.
These youngsters need to understand it's not an ego show and no matter how they feel, they have an obligation to behave for the good of the team, especially when the club is about to play the Copa final and CL semis.

Flick's German assistants must remind spanish guy about value and signaling effect throwing Ipads around.

Time to bring Thiago back and teach these pretenders that if they don't sit down, shut up and buckle down then they will be on a one way ticket to Munich like he was.

And not Bayern Munich, but 1860 Munich. Coz that's what level they are showing.

I think those players just see the team going for a treble and want to get themselves involved really, nothing very complex. A lot of it is playing up to cameras.

Football players in general are not known for being humble.
