Hansi Flick Revives a FORGOTTEN 100-Year-Old Tactic to Destroy Sevilla

The second half begins. The score is 1-1. And Barcelona scores in the first minute.

All this is due to one genius decision by Hansi Flick.

Our coach has revived a 100-year-old tactic!

So, what did Hansi do? He pulled out the double-W formation from the early 1900s. And he adapted this idea using Barcelona’s current players.

Koundé played as the right central fullback, Cubarsí played in the center, Iñigo as the left central fullback. The roles of the two halfbacks were taken by Frenkie and Pedri – our two deep-lying playmakers. The functions of inside forwards were given to Fermín and Raphinha. Wingers – Balde and Lamine. Center forward – Robert.

And now let’s watch how it works. The first goal-scoring attack after the break: Cubarsí to Iñigo, Iñigo to Balde, Balde to Pedri – and then: a superb skill by Fermín in running into the free space behind the defenders – a perfect pass from Pedri and a finish by López.

From this angle, you can see even better the beauty of movement and chaos. At halftime, Flick substituted Gavi, who had already received a yellow card, and brought on Fermín with new instructions. And, as you can see, everything started working very quickly.

This is only Pedri’s third assist this La Liga season, and it’s a huge injustice to his genius.

But let’s get back to our revolutionary double-W, or, as this formation is also called – Christmas Tree or Magic Box. Call it whatever you want.
