Hans-Dieter Flick

Saw that video too. Worrying. Maybe he's had enough. Can't blame him when he has to deal with bums like Araujo. Guy can only do so much with what he's been given to work with.

He knew very well what he was getting into with the club's financial situation. He's not a victim here.

Also, it's his choice to field Araujo, how many more fuck ups by him does it take to realize that he shouldn't be anywhere near the field in important matches.

He's saddened by the state of defending in this game

Notting to do with araujo
Best thing for yim to do would be to admit he's had enough and this is beyond his capabilities.

Submit resignation

What 1 year of flickball does to a squad

Xavi understands

Damn, they broke him

[Our cameras caught you talking with Raphinha, and we want to know what you said…”

🗣️ Flick: I'm not sure if I should say this, but in the end he said the same thing I said: we will improve in the upcoming matches. We will improve in the upcoming matches. That’s all it was.”]

Guess it's easy to conclude that Flick feels let down by some players.

Well maybe expected the financial situation to get better with time, as people at the top keep promising

But since he arrived in summer 2024 to now winter 2025 nothing has changed. We still can't sign a top footballer. Best we can do is some finished players or other top clubs deadwood and hope they magically return to their best under Flick

You are very harsh.

With the club financial situation, we should be lucky to have a top coach like him.

We should be grateful he wanted to go to this club.

He's going fully emo 😂.

Just play Christensen

Yeah, doesn't look too good. Shouldn't overdramatize it, as everyone has a bad day, but he looked pretty empty after the game. It'll become dangerous once this feeling starts to occur frequently, then he can decide he has had enough.
I can imagine it's frustrating for him, because no matter how much he teaches and tells them in training to press, not to lose the balls stupidly, in games they relapse for the worse again. Bilbao looked like a step forward, only to make the step back again against Alaves. I don't even think he's disappointed with certain players, but with the overall situation of the squad, maybe blames himself too.
The important part is, that he still believes he can change the team for the better, otherwise he'll leave at the end of the season.

The players should be aware of this. If they want to keep him for longer, they have to work harder again.

When you need perfection to win games, you are bound to be disappointed.

He has had four different teams over four to five seasons.

When all things are equal with those teams, there is a clear pattern with his defenses.

But the world and probably he himself use the one season when there was an asterisk as large as the entire "continent" of Europe as his high water mark and what he's fully capable of in a regular season.

Bayern's true advantage that season was their German efficiency that made them significantly more prepared for the COVID season than any other team in Europe by a country mile.

Just check the names of the CBs he's had for bayern & Germany and it tells you the entire story, mind you most want nico from durtmond who they think will help with flick ball, it didn't help Germany much at the WC, not saying we shouldn't sign him btw, but don't expect miracles.

Martinez said it himself a few weeks ago, it's mentally exhausting playing the high line, the players are probably mentally drained right now, because they have to be perfect to win the big games with his tactics.

Hopefully raphinha being back will help the mental side of the entire team

I think the loss of chelsea, the araujo case, and the upcoming match against atletico madrid is tough for him mentally. He feels the team is not prepared enough for the big matches.

And he don't have the same mental freshness as last season to endure.

Being a barca coach can be very tough mentally. Even guardiola said it.

If atleti peak like the did vs Madrid we are fully fucked.

With those precision crosses into the box, they lost a few games against us, but have had some good overall performances.

But we got this
