It was beyond my expectations that Hansi Flick could stabilize the Barcelona team so quickly. Hansi Flick is an experienced coach that we knew. But last season we saw very poor and erratic performances from Barcelona. And the status of this group is very shaky. There were no experienced players in the squad except Lewandowski
Hansi Flick has built a squad based entirely on young and inexperienced players. And he succeeded. Barcelona's performance in the first four matches was very composed. And the team has won four matches in a row. Barcelona are 4 points ahead of their main rivals Real Madrid.
The system implemented by Hansi Flick has so far been well understood by Barcelona players, although there are still a few weaknesses in the pivot players and their young defenders. However, if these two players are often given more playing minutes, they will be able to develop quickly. In the Flick era, Barcelona appeared quite different even though they still carried the same philosophy. However, Flick has his own style with his concoction when handling and building Barcelona. For him, several players who were initially monotonous, thanks to Flick's touch they contributed quite a bit. For example, Raphinha was assigned as a playmaker who could move wherever he wanted to find empty space and remember the opposing defenders who gave other teammates empty space. We haven't even seen the variation of strategies and tactics that Hansi Flick will develop, especially after their main players recover from injury. Hopefully, Barcelona can be consistent. However, this is just the first step for Barcelona. It is possible that they will experience ups and downs in overall team performance, especially since they have a tight match schedule. A four-point lead over Real Madrid is nothing special, Flick still has challenges and a tough job ahead.
Flick is really doing a good job in Barcelona and we aaw how he has tighten the bond between the players and has also made his game pattern easy and understandable and easy to adapt by the players.
If Barcelona can keep to their consistency, they might be able to win the league because their rival Real Madrid is facing some challenges currently which might affect their performance. It is when Barcelona meet with big team that i will see how strong they are.
