Barcelona is currently at the top of the La Liga table following four straight wins at the beginning of the 2024-25 season, marking a strong start to the Hansi Flick Era. Nevertheless, Flick was still hesitant despite the strong beginning.
Barcelona has shown resilience and skill in achieving these victories, as Flick’s strategic changes have had a positive impact on the team.
However, there have been some difficult moments, especially in the beginning of the midweek match against Rayo Vallecano, where the team faced challenges in possession and defense, leading to an early goal against them.
Flick discussed these issues at a press briefing on Friday, stressing the importance of his team maintaining consistent intensity and focus from the beginning of matches, rather than just in the second halves.
Flick emphasized the importance of maintaining our focus from the beginning. We don’t have the luxury of waiting for 10 minutes. I anticipate maintaining the high level of performance and intensity we usually show in the second half throughout the entire game. Our approach hinges on this element. The team’s quality is already outstanding.
The message was clear as Barcelona dominated with a 7-0 win against Real Valladolid today.
