The truth is that every year it seems they say the same thing: that they wont be able to cope with the intensity, that they wont be able to withstand the high press, that their high defensive line will come back to haunt them And yet they keep doing it.Theyve been playing with the same philosophy, the same players and the same high standards for some time now. And the team keeps delivering.Whats more, Flick seems to be a manager whos very close to his players. He speaks honestly and tells them the truth.If a player isnt going to feature in a match, he explains why. Thats very important for the players.Hes an approachable manager who understands what the individual player needs, as well as what the team as a whole needs. And this, especially in a team like Barcelona, is very important, he concluded.
