The world’s most luxurious midfield duo
When De Jong and Pedri play together, it’s hard to put pressure on us!
Those were Hans Flick’s words after the Barcelona-Newcastle match, simple words but with a very deep meaning!
The Barcelona fans were worried about Newcastle at St.
James’ Park because of the high pressure, the noisy crowd, the tackles, and the trio of Guimaraes, Tonali, and Joelinton who would eat up Pedri and De Jong in the middle of the field!
But what happened was the opposite, and Pedri and De Jong were the ones who ate up Newcastle’s midfield trio and taught them how to play football, which is represented by the following
Standing on the ball
Exaggerated turns
We stand a lot because stopping the ball is speed
All this is so that our teammates can take their time and move to the best possible spaces
Secondly, to keep Newcastle’s players in their place and make them follow the ball as it moves between our feet, which provokes them to press individually and neglect the spaces between their lines.
Suddenly, the pass comes out from us and they are surprised by one of our teammates receiving it from behind them.
Pedri and De Jong were today the peace amid the anxiety, the calm amid the noise, the order amid the chaos.

What is soccer, if not a first-class interactive game?
And to see interaction and excitement in it, do you have to see an artist on the field pushing it to the utmost limits of excitement?
Pedri? And what he offers on the field? These are the ultimate descriptions of excitement in soccer in general
Control of the rhythm.
His ability to absorb pressure.
His management of his team’s possession at all stages of play.
And he does this with such absolute efficiency that he is able to deliver fantastic defensive and offensive returns.
He is a player who creates chances and succeeds in most of his dribbles, while at the same time winning most of his battles and interventions.
He is a truly talented player with an impressive level of versatility!Barcelona

I want you to imagine with me that three years ago, Koundé was going to Chelsea and was about to sign with them!
But the one who stopped the deal was Xavi, who contacted Koundé three times to convince him to join Barcelona.
Suddenly, Kondogbia went to Barcelona instead of Chelsea!
Kondogbia arrived in Barcelona and was surprised to find that he was playing right back, even though he was originally a center back.
But he didn’t object and adapted to the position, mastering all his roles!
Today, he gave a great performance against Newcastle at St. James’ Park and scored the winning goal with a perfect cross and his weaker foot.
He now has 26 goal contributions with Barcelona!
The Barcelona fans will be grateful to Xavi Hernández for the Kondogbia deal, because without Xavi, he wouldn’t have stayed at Kondogbia.

Hans Flick was asked by reporters before the Champions League match between Barcelona and Newcastle about the impact of Lamine Yamal’s absence.
He confidently told them, “We have Rashford, and he showed me how excellent he is against Valencia, and I’m sure he’ll show me that again against Newcastle!”
The result was that Rashford had an inconsistent performance in the first half, but came down in the second half in fantastic form
and scored two goals, including a legendary goal that decided the match for Barcelona!
Rashford arrived in Barcelona with his form and mentality below zero, but today he is the number one man at Barcelona.
That’s the price you pay when your coach is Hans Flick, a coach who put all his trust in the player even though many people around him had lost faith in him!
Exactly one year ago, he was dropped from Manchester United’s lineup and went on loan to Aston Villa, with his future uncertain.
Today, he decided a very difficult match for Barcelona and scored in the Champions League after a three-year absence.
A historic day in Rashford’s life.

You have a piece of fabric that you gave to one person, and the same piece of fabric that you gave to another person.
The first person can make a T-shirt out of it.
But the second person can make a whole suit out of it.
The coach is not very different from the manager in terms of resource management philosophy.
You have tools, and I have tools.
The one who is skilled at managing the material in his hands is the one who will produce the best product.
So, do you want to consult with Pedri, Yamal, or Rafinha? You are free to choose.
But the first star of Barcelona is the person who decided to take this fabric and make the most luxurious suit ever.
The first star of Barcelona is the person who was able to transform this team and these individuals
into what they are today: a team that no one in Europe fears.
The first star of Barcelona is Mr. Hans Dieter Flick.

He conceded a goal today against Newcastle, and it wasn’t his fault at all because it was a clear one-on-one situation, but!
When was the last time, as a Barcelona fan, you felt confident that you had a goalkeeper who could save you in difficult moments?
When was the last time you saw your goalkeeper have a strong mental presence and excellent reactions in different situations?
When was the last time you saw your goalkeeper have the speed to build attacks and make transitions after catching the ball, just like handball goalkeepers?
Let me impress you and tell you that Juan Garcia made five saves against Newcastle today.
The expected goals he was supposed to concede were 2.30, meaning he saved more than one goal.
It was very normal for Barcelona to come away with a draw, not a win!
Barcelona made the deal of the season and finally got a respectable goalkeeper named
