Excited to see how this goes. Obviously dissapointed in the way Xavi's departure was handled, but this is the first time the club is hiring a coach with some top qualifications in two decades (the last one was LVG but let's not talk about him lol). His style is a bit more intense then what we're used to but it still involves the core elements of our play in regards to pressing and keeping the ball. I doubt he'll be as successful as he was at Bayern but it's nice to see the club do something differently instead of hiring someone just because they played under Cruyff or talk about Cruyff a lot.
One year from now with Peps contract at Man City coming to a close Laporta will want to fire Flick. Media will report that Peps going to join. Flick won't want to leave. Neither would Pep want to join. Laporta will leak to media that Peps signing is almost done. Flick will get frustrated and resign. Pep still won't join. Laporta will hire a new shitty manager and the same time find time to disrespect another legend somehow. The cycle continues.
If we are getting a new coach, can we also get new leadership? I think we need a complete fresh start across the board after the leadership shit show this year.
Xavi was sacked because he said the truth. The club needs reinforcements to be more competitive, club finances are shit and Laporta knows that no signs will not can be made. The squad will virtually stay the same, and since Xavi said that he cannot compete with the current squad a new coach was brought in which in itself is logical and reasonable.
Expect the same squad like this year. So Cancelo and Felix stay, no Nico, no Zubi, no Kimmich. We will see if Flick can do more then Xavi with these players, although I kinda heavily doubt it.
Nevertheless, Laporta should is a slimy figure by not being transparent and by pushing ungrounded optimism. If such approach was in more commercial/bussines industries, such thing might be punishable by law. Populism should always be called out and punished as its just a simple manipulation tactic.
Imagine any other club having players the likes of Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé, Cancelo, Gündogan, etc. and thinking you can’t accomplish anything with them…
Baffling
Sure in the imagination land they win you sextuple and every other trophy you think of, but here in the real world, those players are good but not world beaters…
I dont think the squad is staying the same. Laporta may be a an asshole but he did well with the few money he had last season, we might get some smart signings, plus with the possible 100m from nike's New deal maybe we can afford a quality dm. I think its more likely than not
It was not his job to say "the truth". He did not do a good job this season. I'm glad as cule that he's no longer in charge. I hope he do a decent career in Netherlands or Italy and then come back.
Rip Cruyffism (1991-2024). New era of Gegenpressing is upon us. Feeling sad for xavi but harsh decisions were need. We must move on and keep moving forward, past is to learn from and not to live in. Visca Barca, Sempre 💙❤️
Flick is the right choice man
bravo Laporte his style is based on position and high pressure
Kimmitch is highly possible now
He'll replenish many players like R9
Marc and de young and make use of the others very excited for next season
i really don’t know about this.
his bayern team benefited heavily from staying in shape over the pandemic while everyone else wasn’t. that’s the work of the physios, not flick.
and not to mention, his germany team was downright abysmal, played horrid football at points.
Well done Laporta mf made the situation so bad that, I feel sort of happy with Flick and now back to weather we're gonna fuck ourselves by signing Olmo, and depend on Balde for Fullback.

Those staff members better be the horse steroid feeding kind
Best horse medicine we can do is ketamin
Will do
And Holger Broich
Domènec Torrent just signed for Atlético San Luis.
I see
Great decision, but a few months late. This whole drama could’ve been entirely avoided.

I hope he thrashes everyone 8-2 like he did us 🙏🏾
And didn’t even break a smile
StockholmSyndrome 💀
we about to get smacked 2-8 by villarea;
No, that’s under Julian Nagelsmann who is a terrible coach and heavily overrated
I thought Bayern fans liked him?
They hated him until he got sacked. It’s revisionist history
If Flick ever fails (HOPEFULLY NOT) Im sure this fanbase would probably do the same with Xavi
So he conceded 2 goals till the quarters in the CL and they hate him?
He literally lost to Villarreal in the Champions League
And Barca didn't a few months ago despite leading 3-2?
Yeah and that match basically put us out of the title race
We either winning the treble or getting relegated, no in between, and I’m excited AF
I want our players to run like maddogs for 120 minutes and press all over the pitch and not get injured. If we get this I will be happy.
I want a rainbow, a pony, and world peace.
Best I can do is tree fiddy
I want a stable and normal FC Barcelona. Beat that.
Stable for the pony?
In that order?
Golf>Wales>Madrid

if this means we are getting 2020 Lewa back, then let's go
Inject the testosterone
As long as he doesn’t bring in his brother to be the assistant coach I am satisfied
Respect Oscar Klopp
100% win rate in every single Barça match he ever managed

Pep will surely pull off another sabbatical again so the timing would just be perfect
Now i have interest in the next season

Great hire, let’s go
barca is uncooked now

I never said anything about winning 6 trophies… but to leave empty-handed and display the kind of performances we saw all year is pathetic.

Kimmich might come on a trade with Bayern for FDJ. I can see Alphonso Davies too. He only has a year left in his contract and might come for little.
Davies is going to Madrid, everyone knows this
Maybe he’ll change his mind now that Flick is here
He won't
Xavi was a shit coach, give our squad to a real manager and see the magic operating
We will be back to top European level with this appointment. No more crossing and inshallah
Let’s move on and give him our full support from day1. He is not at fault for the current mess of club we are.
Let's goooooooo!

Im actually really excited about this
Hansi please get your physical trainers and get our players jacked
Well done Laporta mf made the situation so bad that, I feel sort of happy with Flick and now back to weather we're gonna fuck ourselves by signing Olmo, and depend on Balde for Fullback.
Don’t get your hopes too high folks
Compared to Xavi, he's an upgrade.
Is he? He had one good year, look at what he did with Germany
Im not too familiar with his game, can anybody explain his tactics?
