BARCELONA: Hansce Flick used a clear use to describe Barcelona’s poor performance in November, and was just as bad in December, with the victory of Athletico Madrid before Christmas, helping to remove Catalan in the upper part of the table.
However, since Barcelona Rouge has lost in the house against Blancos, he has gone to an unbeaten run of 17 games in all competitions, 14 of them winning 14 and three drawings. In La Liga, he re -claimed to the pole position above Real Madrid on a goal difference and despite playing a lower game than Athletico, third, one point, a lesser game than capital clubs, before his collision against Diego Simon’s team on Sunday.
After a strong start to the campaign, his winter tail -off suggested that the flick is moving towards destruction, but in 2025 a spectacular start has completely changed the picture. A good result at the Metropolitano Stadium will complete a wonderful week for Catalan, when they reached the Champions League quarter-finals with a 4-1 overall win on Benfika.
After defeating Benfika, Flick said, “When you lose the match, it doesn’t care about what happened in the past, so it’s really good to always focus on the next match, and bring what you can give for the TEAM team.”
“I like this mentality, and they are really focused.” I also think they have a lot of fun together, and at the moment it is a very good atmosphere, and it helps to achieve the success we want. “
There are various factors that have helped Barka restoration, as the team sets their eyes on a potential tug-they face Athletico again in the Copa Del-Ray semi-finals. Flick made two major changes on his behalf, goalkeeper Wozoch sentenced and midfielder Frankie de Jong -un in his own positions as the first choice.
Anki drinks and Mark Casado have gone out, and Barcelona is more solid in the back and more at risk of attack. The sentence has eight clean sheets in 15 appearances, while De Jong -un has regained his confidence after a long magic of being baseless.
Winter breaks helped Barcelona physical and mental reset, and in conjunction with the fitness team’s work, they are now taking advantage of this freshness. Flick said, “I do not work physical, it’s a fitness side, Julio (Tos) and his team.”
“They do an amazing thing. When he planned to come and help all the new experts, Dico (Sporting Director) did a good job. You can see it. While other parties, including Real Madrid, are suffering from various injuries, long -term absent persons, along with Mark Andrea Terra Stage and Mark Bernal, as well as defensive Andreas Christinson, Barcelona have a clear health bill.
It is also partially due to the growing confidence of Flick in his squad, rather than just an initial lineup. Ronald Arajo and Eric Garcia are not in the best aspect of the coach, but firmen get regular minutes with Lopez, Ferran Taurus and Gavi.
“We need a lot of players to win the league, not just 11 or 12, but also a good bench, the coach is very good,” said Araju. “Everyone comes with confidence, they are happy and they know they can help the team.”
Flick will be pleased with the way his team managed the game in the second half of their benefit. In December, Barcelona recognized the 96th minute to lose 2-1 against Athletico, and when facing Simon in the first leg in the Cup semi-finals, two-long two goals were accepted for 4-4.
Barcelona will have the opportunity to cut a cherry third on Sunday to put a huge blow in the title race and show how much they have improved after the last time they taste the defeat.
