Barcelona’s new manager Hansi Flick was officially presented in a press conference alongside president Joan Laporta on Thursday and spoke to the media about his ideas for how Barça should play.
The German represents quite a sharp turn from the tradition of hiring ex-Blaugrana players as coaches and comes from a football culture far different from that of the Catalan club, so there is a natural curiosity to see if Flick Ball will introduce all of us to a type of football Barça haven’t played in quite a long time.
But according to Flick, his ideas don’t differ from those of the most successful coaches in the club’s history.
