Flick helps Barcelona evolve

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

Barcelona have enjoyed success under Hansi Flick.

“I really enjoy watching the current Barca team because the coach is aware of the evolution of football and has brought a new breath 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 has been stuck with a possession-based and passing style of play, but has shown many limitations in terms of physical strength, speed and competition. 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 playing, and it is the style of football that previous Barca coaches should have adopted a long time ago."

Flick's coaching style has received a lot of attention this season, especially his tactics of pushing the team up to trap the offside and pressing high. Many experts believe that the German strategist is too risky with this way of playing.

However, there is no denying the effectiveness of that style of play. Flick led Barcelona to the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey, while also leading the La Liga standings and advancing to the Champions League semi-finals.

“Real Madrid are never easy to beat. The final was dramatic, both teams had excellent moments, but above all it was the tempo of the game and the way Barca approached the contested situations,” Valdes stressed.
