Inigo had also the advantage of the perfect pressing, that forced the opponent for long and inaccurate passes that were easier to defend. Now even opponents on Brugge's level have all the time in the world in the midfield to play the accurate through passes that are much more difficult to anticipate. Every professional player can play accurate through passes, if he has the time and space.
This "figuring out" trope needs to go. There's no figuring, when you play great football, which is what Barca did last season at their peak. Yeah, there are issues that can and should be corrected, but it's not like teams had suddenly opened up some magick remedy towards our attack that was simply too good most of the time. Flicks style is no rocket science and it was already "figured out" in his Bayern days.
That’s why Flick is so good. Preparing for blitzkrieg isn’t always an easy task when you’re on the receiving end of it. Now Imagine what he’d do if he actually had any semblance of a proper transfer fund.
Well he did concede 2 goals in that game, to THAT Barça team. Some experts would probably call him out for that, if they didn't score 8
