Fabio Capello has praised Hansi Flick's revolutionary influence at Barcelona, pointing out the team's high pressing and dynamic attacking style while warning that defensive weaknesses are still a worry.
Fabio Capello has spoken positively about Hansi Flick’s tenure at Barcelona, describing his work as impressive and notably different from previous approaches.
“He has done a great job as Barcelona coach, because they play differently. He has a different style, presses a lot and attacks a lot, but defends badly. Although then they recover in matches and it is a joy to watch,” Capello said.
Flick's Barca have been characterised by aggressive high pressing and attacking intent with a vertical style with quick transitions and coordinated pressing to regain possession.
Although he has had great goal-scoring ability, his defensive vulnerabilities have been highlighted. Capello's praise highlights the positive changes Flick has brought, even as the team continues to seek greater defensive solidity.
