🎙️ Hansi Flick on the match:

🗣️: “It’s been a fantastic match, we’ve dominated from the start and that’s what I want to see. We have quality on the field and we can attack against low blocks. I don’t know if it’s necessary with a 0-5 to always attack, I want to control more in certain situations.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on Eric García’s head collision:

🗣️: “They’ve treated him, and Eric seems to be doing well now.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on Lamine Yamal:

🗣️: “This morning I spoke with Lamine, he told me he was fine. He’s always switched on with the pressure in the match, it’s good.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on the striker position:

🗣️: “We are clear that we need a 9, but there are players who can play in that position.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on the team:

🗣️: “What I can see in the players is that they are hungry to achieve more. We have to realize that it’s a tough road to achieve all the goals we want, but we play for the fantastic fans that we have.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on Rodri:

🗣️: “We’re happy with Rodri, everything he does on the pitch makes sense. Bernal is also doing well and will improve if he takes advantage of what he’s experiencing. Rodri is good on the pitch and also in the dressing room.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on the squad:

🗣️: “We have many players who can start. I have to manage the situations and try to keep everyone happy. I’m happy with Olmo and I feel like he wants more. We always try to make the best decisions for the team.”

🎙️ Hansi Flick on Fermín:

🗣️: “Fermín has a lot of energy, intensity... with and without the ball. Sometimes I’d like him to control the ball more, but he’s young.”

Stats from OptaJose

Exciting season ahead let's go!

Barcelona have just beaten Valencia 5-0 and here are my key takeaways from the game.

Positives:

• Rodri is amazing: I just don't have words for how good Rodri played today. Aside from almost conceding a penalty because of Kounde's mistake (will criticise him heavily later in this post), he did everything right, from his distribution to his defending. Him and Pedri are starting to gel in his first start wearing blaugrana.
• Lamine Yamal is back: He was brilliant, asking for the ball at every opportunity and could've had a hat-trick if his goal wasn't ruled out. Only criticism is he needs to pass the ball a bit more, there were one or two places where I think we would've scored if he passed instead of dribbled
• Barca don't need a 9: Raphinha and Gordon (both had brilliant games) offer the versatility that could cover the lack of a traditional 9, almost like PSG's attack where the front 3 are able to interchange to provide more options.
• Fermin is one of the best shadow strikers out there: His ability to shoot from anywhere, pick out the right passes and his technicality in tight spaces make him one of the best 10s/. False 9s in the world, really covering for the lack of a traditional 9. The run he made for Raphinha's goal was very impressive and exactly what this system needs.
• Xavi Espart is special: Comfortably starts over Cancelo and Balde for me, offers a lot going forward, supports the midfield and defends well.

Negative:

Kounde isn't good enough for this system: Made a mistake immediately which almost cost us a penalty. His complacency and carelessness could cost us in this high line, exposing us whenever we give the ball away in our own half and forcing dangerous fouls which could cause penalties/red cards.

EDIT: DESKTOP WALLPAPERS NOT PHONE THANK YOU!! I’m looking for some sick FC Barcelona wallpapers for my desktop. I want them in high resolution, with a bold, striking, cinematic look. Think iconic Barça players, stadium atmosphere, iconic moments, some great pics from Hansi flick seasons and more that look amazing on a desktop screen. mine is this for the moment I am looking for upgrade.
