New Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has expressed his intention to blend the club's traditional passing style with a more direct approach focused on scoring. Flick, who took over the reins from Xavi Hernandez in May, aims to revitalize the team after a trophyless season.
In an interview with Barca ONE, Flick emphasized the importance of maintaining Barcelona's renowned passing game while also urging the players to be more aggressive in front of goal. He stated, 'Here the tradition is to play with passing, but I also want them to go straight to the goal. They should focus a bit more on scoring. I don't think my style has any major changes.'
Flick's coaching philosophy revolves around high pressing and dominating the opponent's midfield, with a strong emphasis on securing victories. He is determined to instill a winning mentality within the squad as they prepare for the upcoming challenges.
Barcelona's pre-season schedule includes a clash against Manchester City in Florida on July 30, followed by their LaLiga opener against Valencia on August 17. These early fixtures will provide Flick with an opportunity to implement his tactical vision and assess the team's progress.
