Maintaining his consistent approach, Flick insists on the same doctrine for Champions League success: "Improve every day on the field"
FC Barcelona is preparing for their upcoming Champions League match against Newcastle, with coach Hansi Flick instilling a new sense of determination and focus in the team.
Hansi Flick, the current coach of the Spanish giants, has been emphasizing the importance of maintaining their performance levels, following their impressive 6-0 win against Valencia in their recent La Liga outing. Flick's philosophy is simple yet effective: "Play better in every game".
One player who has caught Flick's eye is Raphinha, praised for his pressing dynamic. Meanwhile, Andreas Christensen, a key defender for the team, has revealed his desire to stay at FC Barcelona for the long term. Christensen, who has played two of the four league games so far, against Rayo Vallecano, has been vocal about his ambition to be a part of Flick's plans this season.
However, the team is not without its challenges. The departure of Iñigo Martínez has left a gap in the defence, which is constantly evolving. Moreover, the injury to Lamine Yamal is a significant concern. Flick is waiting for his recovery, but does not have any specific deadlines. Andreas Christensen, who has been supporting his teammate, has urged Yamal to take care of himself to ensure a swift and strong return.
Meanwhile, FC Barcelona will face a tough test in Nick Woltemade, the best player of the Euro U21 and the jewel of the U21 European Championship transfer market. Woltemade, who was nominated by Flick for the Champions League match against Newcastle, will be a formidable opponent. However, he will not be playing against FC Barcelona in the upcoming game.
Despite these challenges, the team seems to be more hungry than last year, as Christensen pointed out, referring to the terrible final of the competition last year. Flick is encouraging his players to "keep showing how good they are" and maintain their hunger, as they aim to make a strong impact in the Champions League.
In the face of these challenges and opportunities, FC Barcelona is ready to take on the Champions League with renewed vigour and determination.
