Recently, Hazard said the only dribbler better than him was Messi.

Picked himself ahead of Neymar. That’s a really debatable one.

Also picked himself over Lamine which I agree with.

Nah he's right.

Both him and Neymar have the same level of dribbling ability but Hazard has more strength and uses his ass better. :lol:

Think it's very subjective..they're both so good at it that either opinion is reasonable. Neymar and hazard.

Iniesta up with them too imo. Ribery not far off.

🎙️Szczęsny on Flick’s ego kills success comment.

🗣️: “After the draw against Rayo, Flick said that ego kills success. I think he was right. Just because we won three trophies last season and played beautiful football doesn’t mean it’ll be easy this year. It’ll be harder. You have to prove yourself over and over again, that’s what great champions do. Look at Robert (Lewandowski), 16 years, 14 titles. It’s about humility, hard work, and consistency.”

Barcelona boss Hansi Flick is reportedly considering making a tactical change to his team after overseeing defeats to Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla.

A new report from Mundo Deportivo claims that Flick is thinking about moving Marcus Rashford to the No. 9 position in a bid to improve his team’s pressing from the front.

Flick and his coaching staff think that some of their current issues stem from a lack of “pressing well and intensity from the front line” - something Pau Cubarsi stated after the defeat to Sevilla.

The Barcelona boss wants to continue with the system he’s used so far, and is confident given their success last season, but knows some changes are needed to get the team back on track.

We need at least 3 out of the front 4 to press relentlessly, and the 4th to press substantially if not relentlessly

Top pressers we have up front:
1) Raphina
2) Fermin
3) Ferran
Lamine can press if in the mood but you can't rely.
Rashford has the intention to adjust to Flickball, but he hasn't (so far) put in the necessary effort
Olmo is underwhelming there
Granny tractor can't move

At the same time, this has to be balanced with attacking quality. in attacking quality we have
1) Lamine, goes without saying
2) Rashford who can score out of nowhere
3) Raphina
Lewa, Fermin, and Ferran below
Currently Olmo doesn't feature at all there.

Where does this leave Flick, if he wants to balance both intense pressing and enough quality?

1) Lamine is indispensible if fit, goes without saying
2) Raphina is our best presser, has to be there

Then the other two positions are there for grabs depending on who plays better and who is fit.
Lewa is out of the question for the big games, because he can't move
Olmo in his current form is out of the question too

Then you have Rashford, Ferran, Fermin for the 2 positions
Given only Rashy of them has attacking quality, and you can't afford having 2 players of lesser attacking quality, THeN
3) Rashford has to play

But if that happens, since you already have both Lamine and Rashford with subpar pressing playing, you need a relentless presser for the 4th position.

So, Flick really has 2 options ahead of him:
-Lamine-Fermin-Rapha
----------Rashy
(or a variation of it with Rashy LW and Rapha up front)

OR
-Lamine-Rapha-Rashy
----------Ferran

I think we will see both in the upcoming games.
