Any system is down to the quality of your players at the end of the day. And Hansi doesn't have any of HIS players. Our best First Xi contain none of his signings bar the goalkeeper.

People praise Klopp, but I wonder how his gegenpress would have turned out if he wasn't able to buy players specifically suited to it.

Sometimes I think it would have been better for Flick if he just had an 'okay' season last season and then he wouldn't be getting the criticism he is this.

How hard is it to realise that Hansi was the best manager in the world for performing the miracles he did last season and now we are just reverting back to our median?

There are simply no grounds to be moaning at Flick. In fact, given our transfer market situation, it's Flick who should be the one who is disgruntled.

So nasty your shamelessness.

Pep and Lucho would laugh at Flick's system.

Pep and Lucho coach oil superteams with endless resources

They can laugh all they want, but Flick is coaching a broke Barça team and still keeps up with their level

Narratives change like socks for some of you. Last season Guardiola signed whoever he wanted yet had a shit season and Barça was 10x better. Now they are having a good spell but no guarantees they will have a better season than Barça when it's all said and done

No arguments that Pep and Lucho have superior systems and superior philosophies, it's GOAT tier managers we are talking about, but I would bet they don't "laugh" at all at Flick's system and they realize it's impressive how much it transformed Barça in just one season

I've been consistent since Flick came that Bayernball doesn't belong here.

Lucho's cheap 18 yos are playing as well as the pricey seniors.

There's nothing stopping Flick from buying back Puig for peanuts either.

At Bayern’s training ground, a small detail is making a big difference: players frequently wear skin-coloured patches on their earlobes because the club takes blood samples before and even during sessions. By tracking lactate and creatine kinase levels in real time, Vincent Kompany and his staff can precisely gauge muscle load, detect early signs of strain, and adjust training intensity individually. This proactive monitoring has paid off. Bayern have barely suffered muscle injuries this season, a big contrast to last year’s Champions League collapse when half the core squad was sidelined.
What do you think about this highly data-driven approach to player management?

We hear this every year with at least one club, even in Barca it was said during both Lucho and Flick's eras.
And usually, it works early then goes back

That's spot-on approach, and that' the future really...

Anyone telling you it doesn't work usually don't have a clue about cutting edge sports science

Or it's just a club in good form and everything they do is right. Like last season Barca when everyone praised team's training program, regime but this season when every players get injuries, people wonder why the training regime is so poor...

That Bayern's method above isn't something new. I remember Milan in their golden time (2002-07) with Milan Lab already used it...

So you say Milan used skin-coloured patches on player's earlobes and taking blood samples midway in training sections between 2002 and 2007

Prove it, or it never happened.
It's easy to talk shit just to discredit something

Well it's not exactly the same thing (cause technology of 20 years ago was not today technology). But Milan Lab did collect players data from training then improved their fitness, physicality, mentality and predicted injuries. Results were their overage players like Maldini, Costacurta, Cafu...all played at high level. Their players were mostly fit and won tittles here and there... You can ask Milan fans and they will say Milan Lab was their biggest factor to success in 2000s.

Not to discredit anything. Bayern are doing well, good for them. But not like they find the way to cure cancer.
