Hansi Flick analyzed the match in Belgium,
“It’s not just about defending, but also about defending well in midfield. We must be vigilant when they launch one or two-touch attacks on us. It’s not easy, far from it. We created several chances, but it is clear that they played very well. They were very aggressive, which, logically, was an asset. »
FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has said he will not change his team’s style of play despite their weaknesses.
“The truth is that we failed to press the ball carrier. We lost a lot of duels, especially in midfield, which is crucial against such fast players. For us, the problem lies in defensive intensity. Above all, we must be vigilant when they throw us with one or two touches of the ball. I’m sure we can improve this. »
Flick: Barcelona will maintain its high defensive game
Flick is determined to find a solution, but his plan is to do so without lowering Barca’s defensive line.
“We can play low or stay true to our philosophy and progress. Without intensity, we have no options in the Champions League. But I’m not the type to change the rules of the game. Bruges played very well, as I expected, and I told the players that. The 1-0 goal last year would have been two meters offside. But we want to play according to our ideas. »
“The 3-3 draw is not ideal for us, but the positive thing is that we managed to come back after they had led three times. Of course we have to discuss it. »
