Flick, the manager of Barcelona, has not disclosed whether his team will continue to employ the very high line that they have been employing against Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night. The Blaugrana have been pressing as high as the halfway line at times in La Liga, and were caught out by it against Sevilla. However, it has been a critical aspect of their improvement this season. The primary inquiry that the majority of individuals are asking is whether that line is viable in the presence of teams such as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, which possess the necessary armaments and speed to circumvent an offside trap. “Indeed, I believe you have inquired about numerous matters.” I will provide you with an overview of our strategy for the game if I speak too much. The team is required to perform specific tasks, and it is imperative that we are certain of them. Although not all outcomes are flawless, we endeavor to enhance each game. It will be crucial to maintain a high level of pressure, but it will also be crucial to defend when the time arrives.

Flick confirmed that Frenkie de Jong would be available again, having missed the match against Sevilla. Eric Garcia and Marc Bernal were absent due to injury. There was speculation that Flick intentionally withheld de Jong’s participation in the second half. Numerous individuals have positioned this week as a diagnostic test for Barcelona’s quality, with El Clasico following on Saturday following the Bayern match. “We are adequately equipped to confront Bayern tomorrow.” The matches may vary, and as evidenced by Monaco, they may progress along distinct paths. This season, it has been extremely beneficial for us to concentrate on each individual contest. We are in a cheerful mood. Bayern is an exceptional team, and it is the desire of all individuals to confront the greatest. “Each game has its own unique requirements, and each is prepared in a unique manner.” Meeting with the athletes, we engage in conversation with them… It is challenging due to the limited amount of time. “The day following is the day of recovery, but today has already been a day of great intensity,” he explained in reference to their preparation and any modifications that had been made. “Certainly, our intention was for him to participate in the match against Sevilla on Sunday.” Although he was not entirely at ease, all of the others were prepared, with the exception of Eric. I am delighted to have them all available.

Additionally, there have been allegations this week that Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, and La Liga are in the process of obtaining the necessary permissions to hold their December league match in Miami, USA, rather than at Montjuic. “I am an individual who resides in the present.” Flick avoided a potentially awkward issue by stating, “I am focused on the game against Bayern Munich, but I am uncertain about the decision that will be made.” Flick: “What were the most recent matches against Bayern?” The past is of no value. The concern is with the present moment. We are unable to alter the past; however, we can alter the future. — barcacentre (@barcacentre) October 22, 2024
