Since taking office at FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick has impressed with a team that is enjoying great success in La Liga and the Champions League. A success that the German coach owes largely to… Roberto De Zerbi. The former Brighton coach, now at OM, was a real source of inspiration for the Blaugrana technician, who observed his work twice before taking the reins of Barça.
Filippo Galli, former AC Milan defender, confirmed in the show Què t’hi Jugues!, on the Cadena Ser,
that Flick drew on the methods of De Zerbi, known for his high defense, as well as the defensive model of the legendary Milan of the 1990s.
A defense inspired by Sacchi’s Milan
According to Galli, Flick also integrated into his system the defensive rigor of great Milan, where precise corrections were constant. “This Milan inspired with its emotions and its coherence”said Galli, who was also impressed by Barcelona’s defensive performance in the last Clasico.
Barça’s young talents thus show a maturity and audacity which are part of the club’s identity, a point which delights Hansi Flick and observers.
