Barcelona’s manager, Hansi Flick, is facing a challenging moment as his team has lost two of their last three La Liga matches. To address this, Flick has developed a clear strategy that focuses on two key approaches to get the club back on track.
According to a report by Jordi Gil in SPORT, these methods revolve around confidence-building and finding solutions through open dialogue with the players. The goal is to overcome the current difficulties and restore the team’s winning mentality.
Building confidence and close communication
Flick is known for his hands-on approach with the players. He believes in maintaining close relationships with all members of the squad, whether they are starters or substitutes.
When things are going well, he is quick to encourage and push the team forward. However, when faced with adversity, Flick steps up and makes communication even more crucial.

He has always relied on open discussions to address issues, which he believes can help turn around tough situations. Barcelona cannot afford to wait for improvement any longer, especially with Real Madrid closing the gap.
Small changes, not major overhauls
Flick understands that there is no time for drastic changes at this point. With the team still recovering from recent setbacks, Sunday’s training session was focused on recovery, and Monday’s session will also be light.
The main focus will be on reactivating the players rather than making structural changes to the tactics. Flick aims to make subtle adjustments rather than overhaul the entire approach.
He has already made his decision to bring back some key players to help stabilize the squad. Marc Casado will return to the pivot position, while Lamine Yamal will take up the right flank.
These changes are intended to bring fresh energy and provide the team with a more balanced and effective lineup.
Flick has made it clear to his players that the issue is not about the names on the team sheet but about their attitude. The coach has stressed the importance of a higher level of concentration if the team is to be successful and recover from this difficult period.
For him, the solution lies in the players giving their best both physically and mentally, and he is confident that, with the right attitude, the crisis can be overcome.
