Flick: Everything depends on the team, Barcelona’s solution is not to change their tactical philosophy

Hupu November 06 News Barcelona head coach Flick attended the post-match press conference of the 3-3 draw with Brugge.

As a head coach, how worried are you about the fragility of your team's defense?

We saw this today. We didn't press well enough in the midfield. If you can't win duels, it will be difficult for the defense to defend against faster players.

We need to analyze all the details, communicate with the players, and strive to do better.

What changes do you think Barcelona’s defensive system needs to make? It looks like Barcelona's opponents this season are causing you problems.

We can defend in the frontcourt, but we will stick to our philosophy because we can do better.

Without intensity, there is no chance of winning, especially in the Champions League. Brugge played very well, as I expected and I told the players that.

If the 1-0 goal last year were placed now, it would have been two meters offside. But we want to play our own style.

3-3 is not the best result for us, but the positive thing about this game is that we equalized the score three times after they took the lead. We do need to talk about this, though.

It can be seen from your words that the problem is not the tactical system, but the players.

Everything depends on the team. We had a great performance last Sunday but had only a few chances today. We must work hard on this. We're still the same team.

We know this is not our best period, but I will look at it positively and believe that after the offseason, when Joan Garcia, Rafinha and Pedri return, and Olmo and Lewandowski also return to a higher level, we will improve.

Is now the time to stick to your established tactical system?

I will not repeat myself. The solution is not change. We are Barcelona. Our football philosophy is to play proactively and with passion. With or without the ball.

We must work hard in this area. Once everyone is back from injury, we'll see how things go.

Lamin performed very well. What do you think?

I'm glad to see Lamin perform like this. But as I said last Sunday, I don't know exactly what his next game will be. The important thing is that he can control his state. We hope he continues to stay healthy, but we can't give a firm answer at this time.
