After the last two losses at Barcelona, the discussion intensified. The team's head coach, Hans-Dieter Flick, reportedly held a long and meaningful conversation with the players after the results. According to Sport.es, this dialogue turned into not just a "reprimand," but an analysis that sought open answers to questions about what isn't working and what's missing within the team.
The source notes that the team analysis conducted by the players largely coincided with the German expert's views. During the interview, it was acknowledged that some game ideas and concepts that were well-produced last season are becoming difficult to implement this season. That is, it was said that plans that looked beautiful on paper are not yet fully "working" on the field.
Flick and the coaching staff were satisfied with the players' attitude and open communication. Because the team members, without hiding the problem, admitted that they had retreated in some aspects. In particular, in recent matches, the team has admitted that they cannot maintain high speed, active pressing, and intensive pressure as continuously as before.
Interestingly, the players themselves have expressed their desire to return to the playing principles and methods they employed last season. So, the idea of "returning to their original style" at Barcelona is also coming from within the team. And this means one thing: what is needed now to solve the problem is not to look for someone to blame, but to restore the same tempo and spirit.
In short, Flick isn't saying "everything's fine." After the defeats, he spoke openly with the team, and the players reacted positively. Now the main question is one: to what extent will this conversation turn into a result in the field?
