Hans-Dieter Flick

Yikes he threw Garcia under the bus

Q- After coaching Joan Garcia, what's the thing you're surprised most about him? And is he one of the best you've ever coached?

🚨🎙️| Flick: "This isn't an easy question, because I was the coach for both Neuer and Marc. Both of them are great keepers.

Yeah that is what it will be and he was probably absolutely raging at the game not being put to bed in second half and then Alaves going close to scoring a few times at end.

There was never much meaningful control of game.

First half was a chaotic shit show.

Second half for first half hour was better but cant remember too many good chances then at end of half when Alaves pressed it was panic stations and no control whatsoever.

There is a definite nervousness in the team at moment.

Flick is like "all I'm asking is for you guys to be perfect all the time, so we don't concede, is it that hard". Lol.

If other coaches had ever gotten so emo on the bench, OMG lol

Xavi lost it on the bench and used to verbally abuse his own players.

If Flick starts that and making Xavi excuses about media to manipulate his situation he can sling his hook.

Unlikely though.

It's typical Catalan small minded village bias from brainless press.
Hype up any Catalan player and then expect coaches to agree with them and put them higher than all times best.

Joan is doing great but he played 10 matches here and they want Flick to put him higher than Neuer.

Catalan press are doing a massive disservice to all these players.

This YouTuber points out what I saw in the 2nd half, at time stamp 4:40.

The team was much better from the start of the 2nd half, and it wasn't all due to Pedri, who only came in at 60th minute, dropping olmo deeper for bernal. adding some much needed stability and we were playing a very mature game, waiting for the opportunities instead of taking unnecessary risk.

They created a few chances at the end, but this is barce under flick that's always doing to happen.

I was personally encouraged by the 2nd half and raphinha being back, not sure why he was being emo to be honest, a few good things to take for this game.

The team were poor in first half and in second half improved but still largely poor and not doing much with possession had.. which results in nervy last 10/15 minutes when Alaves push up.

There is zero chance Flick thinks that first 30 min in second half was good, controlled football as it was not going anywhere and nervy finish came.

Second half v this lot last season once Casado had his regular hooking at HT was much much better.
