Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick shared his thoughts about his tactical approach. In recent matches, this system has not been delivering the expected results.
On Wednesday, the “Blaugrana” played to a 3:3 draw with Club Brugge in the Champions League. The Catalans have now conceded in nine matches in a row — something that hasn’t happened in the last 12 years.
“We might shift to a low defensive block, but it is also necessary for us to stay strong within our philosophy. The problem is intensity: if that is lacking, it will be difficult to expect results in the Champions League.
I am not a coach who radically changes his tactical approach. We want to play according to our DNA.
Defending with a low block and winning 1-0 by scoring a single goal on the counterattack is not our style. 3:3 is not the best result, but the positive side is that after every goal we conceded, we managed to equalize,” Flick said at the press conference.
After four rounds in the Champions League group stage, Barcelona is in 11th place with 7 points.
