Hansi Flick: “Our idea is to press our opponents, it’s crucial and part of the Barça mentality. We can do it better in certain situations. When it’s structured, we do it well, but if there’s no pressing, the line is too high. We have to improve and train for this every day, it’s a process and that’s normal. It’s not just about the players, the staff too, we’re one team. The club, the fans, we must all be united. Last year that was the key to success. Everyone must know what to do to win and not focus only on themselves. That’s the key to winning titles.” #fcblive

So translation is, he either wants to increase our pressing minutes, or play more defensevly without it. Probably both, since you can't press 90 minutes anyways, especially against world-class teams. Sounds like a simple plan, let's see on the pitch how it'll look like.

Trying to press a team that's just as good or better than you are technically, while being significantly better physically won't end well 7/10.

It's like when other teams try to press us, we have the players to pass out of it, but with PSG they also have those kind of players, a manager that emphasizes that they should be comfortable while being pressed and fitter players.

So he'll need a plan A++ or hope plan A is played to perfection

Plan A++ is hoping the referees do their fuckin job.

Plan A+ is hoping the opposition miss when they dont.

We are just too bad overall, we have a couple of really good players but the rest is very average. Some overperformed last year under Flick but he can only do so much. If the quality isn't there it will show eventually.
We aren't really - but we sorely miss better players on LB and 9 + send Olmo to get some shock therapy, dude needs to be more consistent and add some grit to his personality/play style.
