Barcelona manager Hansi Flick praised his team’s performance after a recent match against Real Madrid, highlighting their effective pressing. According to Flick, a statistic showing that Real Madrid did not touch the ball in Barcelona’s half for 24 minutes demonstrated the success of their pressing strategy. Flick described the display as “incredible to watch” and encouraged his team to take pride in their achievement.
Flick’s comments come after a string of positive developments at Barcelona, where he has been in charge since his appointment. His contract with the club was recently extended until 2027, indicating the confidence that Barcelona have in his leadership. Under Flick’s management, the team has seen some key players return from injury, including Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who has resumed his role as Barcelona’s goalkeeper. Additionally, Flick has confirmed the availability of Gavi, a midfielder, for selection.
Flick has been full of praise for his team’s performances, and has also shown appreciation for his counterparts, notably praising Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid’s manager, on a previous occasion. With Deco, Barcelona’s director, expressing optimism about Flick’s impact at the club, the stage appears set for continued success under Flick’s guidance.
