🚨 Flick's Analysis of the Team's Problem 🚨
Toni JuanmartÃ:
😡 The coach is angry with the team and believes they have become complacent, something he noticed starting from the second half against Espanyol.
Flick's diagnosis of the problem includes several aspects:
▪️ Technical aspect
▪️ Mental aspect
▪️ Player behavior aspect
⚠️ Flick's main issue is that the players relaxed, as if they think they can win without giving their maximum effort.
He observed this since the second half against Espanyol, where he felt some players were playing cautiously. He wasn't concerned at the time because he believed it was due to the comfortable lead.
The German coach tolerates mistakes, but he does not forgive players who don't give their all. For this reason, he refused to blame Koundé.
⛔️ The coaching staff also believes the team has lost its intensity in possession and high pressing and sometimes runs without clear purpose.
🤬 Today, Flick again spoke to the players angrily, emphasizing that the team has achieved nothing yet. He was frustrated because he had warned them earlier about complacency.
🥶 Flick demands an immediate reaction from the players against Brest. He doesn’t want a good performance for just half an hour, but a complete match with unwavering focus.
Flick has also identified other factors:
🔹Opponents have become more capable of breaking the offside traps.
🔸The team lacked character against Celta, especially after the 2-1 scoreline when they needed to keep possession.
🔹Individual mistakes and fatigue due to international breaks.
🔸The impact of Lamine's absence, which forced Flick to change several players' positions.
