Hansi Flick’s Barcelona revolution has begun… but how much of a revolution is it?
In this third instalment of my Hansi Flick mini-series, I take a look at Barcelona’s pre-season under the German. I’ll be looking at the tactical direction he’s taking the team, and how it differs to the previous Xavi era.

Flick’s preference for wingers to invert slightly alleviates my Olmo at LW concerns. Olmo at LW under Xavi would’ve been disastrous but I could see him excelling in the Flick system. Coming inside for combinations in the center could be productive. Interested to see how Yamal does with that as well – he was more central in the Spain euro run and that was exciting. Most notably for that goal against France
Great analysis as always!!
Man your volume is too low again
Easy with the word revolution 😂
Finnaly bro I've been waiting for this video
As always, a classic.
your indepth knowlegde of the game waoo me alot kudos
Barcelona are in for a tough season. Madrid look like an irresistible force already. Not sure the same coach that was holding 4 to Japan a few months ago is the right man to lead what will need to be an underdog effort.
I see Madrid and their power of friendship and PR, but Barca looks good tactically ( based off what I seen in preseason)
Pretty sure this will be a far more entertaining season than we've seen in years. The coming inside is exciting. Rigid positions with wing play as a steady diet is so damn boring.
The next video should be what went wrong with Barcelona in Joan gamper trophy ! please
Is it only me who is noticing that players get burnt out towards end of halves?
Ter stegan may need to be replaced
You made a tweet saying Hansi Flick's Bayern outperformed their XG. Please do your research well coz it's never true. Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich generated 3.2 XG averaging 3 goals per game and that's the best statistics recorded ever since they started playing the German League( Bundesliga) still even today the record still stands. Barcelona just have lazy attackers who don't work hard to score goals especially when the team needs them.
Great vid! Looking forward to the next one on barca
doesn't sound like a system in which a player like Lewandowski would strive
Unfortunately this board is going to ruin flick, Deco is as bad a nightmare for Barca as Bartomeu was.
Idk what happened they played so directly and cooly in friendlies. But while facing monaco suddenly they were like they dont know what to do. Like a kid who forgot his elocution speech on the stage.
I agree with most of what you said, except that Gavi will have a bigger role than Casado – simply because Casado is incomparably better in organizing the attack, passing game, defensive positioning, etc…
Amazing!
if only they had 60 mil to spend on ball winning mid fielder to balance out their profiles and cover those transitions
I've been waiting for the video
Nice change of editing and good explanations. Been watching your videos from the start. Keep up the good work man
