Victor Valdes says Hansi Flick’s style ‘should have been implemented a long time ago’ at Barcelona

Barcelona legend Victor Valdes has been talking about Hansi Flick’s side after taking up his new job as coach of Real Avila.

The former goalkeeper admitted he loved watching the Copa del Rey final win over Real Madrid and says Flick’s style of play should have been implemented a long time ago.

“I really enjoy watching Barça because the coach has been able to see where football has evolved and has been able to give the 4-3-3 a different touch with a different dynamic,” he told reporters.

“I really enjoy it because I truly believe in the football they’re playing and because it’s the kind of football that, truly, someone should have implemented at the club a long time ago.
