Barcelona’s Defensive Slide Exposed Again in Bruges as Flick Refuses Tactical Shift

Flick reiterates he will not alter Barcelona’s high-line approach.

Overview

  • Barcelona conceded three in Bruges as familiar defensive frailties resurfaced.
  • Hansi Flick said the team does not need to vary its style and that he will persist with the current model.
  • Both coach and players acknowledged poor midfield pressing that left the back line exposed.
  • The Diario Vasco reports it is the tenth match under Flick in which Barcelona have conceded at least three goals.
  • Reporting describes an attack funneled through Lamine Yamal that has become predictable and vulnerable to costly turnovers.
