Flick helped Barcelona evolve.

Barcelona legend Victor Valdes believes Hansi Flick's style of play should have been implemented at Barcelona a long time ago.

Barcelona achieved success under Hansi Flick.

"I really enjoy watching the current Barca team play because the coach is aware of the evolution of football and brings a fresh perspective to the 4-3-3 formation, with a more dynamic style of play," Sport quoted Valdes as saying.

The Barcelona legend believes that for many years, the team was stuck with a style of play focused on ball control and passing, but which revealed many limitations in terms of physical fitness, speed, and tackling. It can be said that Flick has breathed new life into Barca's technical style of play, helping the team improve this season.

The former Barcelona goalkeeper added: “I am very impressed with Hansi Flick's current Barca because I believe in the style of football they are showing, and it is the kind of football that previous Barca managers should have implemented a long time ago.”

Flick's coaching style has received a lot of attention this season, particularly his tactics of pushing high up the pitch to trap offside traps and high-pressure pressing. Many experts believe the German strategist is taking too many risks with this approach.

However, the effectiveness of that style of play is undeniable. Flick led Barcelona to win the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey, while also topping the La Liga table and reaching the Champions League semi-finals.

“Real Madrid are never easy to beat. The final was dramatic, both teams had their best moments, but above all it was the pace of the game and how Barca approached the challenges,” Valdes emphasized.

A closer look at Kounde's goal that sank Real Madrid: In the 116th minute, Kounde unleashed a powerful low shot from outside the penalty area, securing a 3-2 victory for Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final on the morning of April 27th.
