Hans-Dieter Flick

[Iniesta Ultra]

I have two love in my life.

Guardiola and now Flick.

Imagine if Flick stays as long as Pep has at City and turns into robo-bayernball a la robo-tiki.

Should just be the man before the man.

LUCHO.

We are on course to score 100 goals in the league, which is incredible.

Ya it's fair to say he's sorta revolutionizing the club. Would love if he stays for at least 4-5 seasons. Not sure if his heart can take it though. Barca manager is the most stressful job in the sport.

 

[serghei]

His heart? What about our heart?

Speaking of Klopp...not sure how long Flick is going to be here, but we should definitely be aiming for Klopp s our next manager and continuw the German football era of Barca.

Revolutionized the club.

I honestly see us going for Fabregas next.
3 years of managing a decent club in a top league. Doing well with limited resources.
Playing a similar relationist style of play as Flick.

I would go for Fabregas before Klopp.

Fantastic first season! Well done mister!

I hope we'll strengthen our team with a few smart signings and that we will continue progressing and evolving. However, the thing that we really need to improve and work on is our defending. I am sure he is perfectly aware of that and that he will insist on bringing a new full back and CB (if we sell Araujo). Furthermore, a strong defensive midfielder who can control the tempo and contribute in defense when the team is suffering is a must for next season. I hope that Bernal can fill the shoes but when you tear ACL nothing is certain anymore.

Como don't have limited resources. They will likely go big this Summer to try and make Europe at worst, CL at best.

Murmurs Bayer want Cesc so let's see which option Cesc chooses.

Either way, timing would be good and we should have a shot at him post Flick.

The problem with this insane first season is, that the usual muppets will now expect and demand a treble next season. We can't forget where we started this season, that we're still building our stadium, are still under financial restrictions. We won't be able to tend to all our squad problems this summer.
And also expect the ref robbery to continue next season, maybe even more outrageous as they'll want to stop a new Barca era.

I was talking about this season.
Their owners are supposedly rich, so they probably will push for better transfers next season.
And thats a good thing anyways. Would show how capable Cesc is in handling both transfers and high tier football.

Actually, it's perfect ground for any new manager having high aspirations. Perfect for us aswell.

Kompany might be only for another season, if they dont do well. Or it might be 2027 Bayern looks for a new Manager. Good thing is we will be doing the same come that time. Dont think Flick stays for more than 3 years.
And if we do, Cesc will for sure choose us over Bayern.
I am pretty confident that if we have thought of Cesc as a potential manager for us, just like Xabi and Madrid, 2027 is the year all comes together.

Also, about the keeper fixing things as they are, I have my doubts. Tek been facing a huge amount of 1 vs 1s and basically situations that even some elite keepers have a hard time doing something in. All of that due to not only system issues, but many many very poor individual errors. From players that should not start for us for the ambitions that this club has right at this moment.

For the offense, the club spend serious money for likes of raphinha, ferran, tractor, and olmo. But for the defense, it's all built on a budget. Free older or injury riddled players like Inigo, and Cubarsi... young inexperienced players that are no ready yet like Cubarsi, or Martin... free semi-retired keeper. If you look at it, basically made a financial effort only for Kounde in our entire defense.

It is noticeable that the defense is stitched together on a budget.

If we could not extend the contract for Flopski next season we could have save $26m Euro just from that. Did that made any sense for you guys?
We proved already so many times that we basically do not need him. We scored a lot of goals lately without him. To me, it’s a simple math to have completely forgot about him.
Why on this Earth, Barca management makes this kind of stupid errors?
With just $26m ( and maybe adding some extra) we could have brought in a much better alternative ….

My thoughts after Madrid scored the 3rd too. They have gone ball recycling and playing it safe too early. 2 goal lead is still not that much. Maybe it'd be better to first score the 5th or 6th and then do it. When you have that momentum you use it to the full.

There are some problems when it comes to timing of these actions and players understanding of it. Against Inter they went for the 4th when it was few minutes left, against Madrid they played it safe when it was a whole half of football left. Should be reversed. I think they will learn on this next season

Absolutely true. Hope most people saw that.

Way too early and many things can happen between now and whenever Flick leaves, which could be in 2026 or 2029, you never know.
Klopp and Nagelsmann will be very high on the list if available, Cesc will have the "DNA" argument after him, but could be replacing Arteta when finally Arsenal move on. Return of previous coach will also be on the table, Pep and Lucho will have some core to work with, or an improved Xavi even.

For now, I am enjoying the ride tbh and having the calmness of not having to think about future coach in May, for once.

 

[draconifire]

ohh yeah I forgot Arsenal will be on the market for a coach soon.
Damn Cesc might go there in 2026.

 

[Porque]

Chelsea too.

Depending on how Belletti does at the B in the next couple years, he may be our option. Club seems high on him.

nice teta-lite take
