Hans-Dieter Flick

Ahhh mb I was looking at the total points...

… the comparisons to his time at FC Bayern Munich, where the second season was also less strong:

“I know it’s very easy to make comparisons, then to judge, and someone listens and says: ‘Wow, yes, they’re right.’ I don’t want to talk about Bayern Munich here, because we also won the Bundesliga in the second year. It’s not an excuse, but simply a fact that we have many injured players – and those injured players are key players. We’re dealing with it very well. Normally, we would have preferred to take two more points from Bruges, but we’re happy with the one point. In the league, we’re five points behind Real Madrid, but we’re in second place. It’s November now, but the season goes until May. The road is very long. The players and I know we have to play much better, but for me, the important thing is that everyone comes back. That will be a new starting point. Until then, we have to fight. On Wednesday, that wasn’t the case – we couldn’t see that fight.”

Only Luis Enrique (124 points), Xavi (118), Pep Guardiola (117), and Ernesto Valverde (117) stand ahead.

Luis Enrique still leads the pack with 40 wins, 4 draws, and 6 losses in his first 50 matches, a benchmark Flick will be eager to chase. [/B]

Xavi and Valgreen haramball was something else.

Given that people identify Flick's current style with how he set up his Bayern team, it surprises me that that team is not on this list. Didn't really watch them play. Is what we're seeing now a further radicalized version of what he tried there? Ballsy move to double down on the approach that eventually broke your team.

I’m very surprised 2025-26 FCB is higher than 2024-25 FCB

Probably a higher a volume of times they beat our press and can get at our defence. So wouldn't take it as us having a better line, it's just that opponents attack more.

Ffs Flick, it's not all or nothing - we can still play Flick-ball, just turn it down a notch and train/coach the front 3-4 players to do a lot more pressing. Yamal hardly does any and Rashford even less. Also instruct Rashy to play don't dribble or shoot 100% of the time he gets the ball, he also needs to try runs like Raphinha does.

 

[Fati_Future_BallonDor]

Offense and pressing work nearly like last season.

Defence is still a problem though. If we fix that, we are back.

 

[jairzinho]

So basically at this point it looks like his plan is just to outscore the opponent. Way too obvious now.

Seems like he doesn't care too much about how much goals we concede or how shit the defending is.

 

[KingLeo10]

He needs to fix this defense. We're gonna get destroyed by a big team in CL otherwise.

Can't be letting anyone and everyone score 2-3-4 goals on us. WTF.
