A lot of coaching fuckups from Hansi today.
Flick's tactical approach stands and falls with the team's legs. He demands 100% total football from the first second until the last. Only then we can roll over the opponent, as happened many times last season.
But if the team fails to run and press, fails to win the second balls, to stop opponnents passing, every professional team will have it easy to exploit the holes with dangerous through passes, that lead often to 1vs1 against the keeper.

This is not a tactical problem, because this tactic is intentional, but a physical one. The injured players must recover, the general muscle fatigue that plagues half the team must be healed. This will need time, so prepare for more weeks of difficult matches, maybe even a big clasico defeat too, because Mbappe will murder us with this bad pressing.

Unfortunately for us, injuries have been part of our squad since ever. But not this severe in recent times.

After Pedri and Lamine were subbed Barca went very low-key. The only player who had aura on the pitch was Frenkie and he didn't have the best performance in unnatural position, but the miracle happened.

I thought Barca looked better after they went off.

Better defensively and created more chances.
