The most "weird" champion, Frick recreates Barcelona!

Kill the suspense by defeating the mortal enemy of the national derby and completing the crown at home of the city's opponent, Barcelona's rushing towards the finish line is gorgeous and dreamy. With a minimum spending of 3 goals per game and conceded more than 1 goal per game, Frick's team will present a visual feast to fans almost every game. They seem to always laugh to the end in the game where bayonets are popular. This team with many artists has never been so brave and tenacious.

["Weird" champion, highly recognized]

"Frick created a miracle in Barcelona. He brought personality, confidence and charm to this strong team." Barcelona's official website's comments on his coach were incisive. Frick is proud to be able to gain recognition in the team that values ​​inheritance and faith the most in European football.

When Frick appeared at Camp Nou several months ago, the outside world did not seem to care about the championship coach's business capabilities, but was worried that the "cultural conflict" created by the Germans would make La Macia confused. Since his first training class at Barcelona, ​​Frick has gained favor from players and the media with his decisive manner. From multiple categories and large exercise training to detailed control represented by daily weighing and dental examinations, Frick will run high standards and strict requirements throughout the daily management.

Barcelona regained its localization route during Xavi's tenure. La Macian elites generally have a strong sense of belonging, execution and honor. Frick's semi-militarized management model is perfectly adapted here. Having encountered continuous setbacks in the past few seasons, Barcelona needs a coach worthy of the club's heritage, respect history and tradition, can win the support of everyone, have pioneering and innovative capabilities, and can always maintain a modest and cautious attitude to lead the team out of difficulties. Frick is undoubtedly the best candidate to undertake this important task.

36-year-old veteran outperformed the younger generation. The high-quality training brought by Frick not only gave Barcelona a foundation for multi-line championships, but also changed the team's temperament.

Thanks to the foundation laid by high-quality training and management, Barcelona has maintained a multi-line attack rhythm in this season with extremely intensive schedules and successfully won three domestic competition championships. It was only 3 minutes away from advancing to the Champions League final. With 97 goals and 36 goals in 36 league games and 169 goals in 58 games in various competitions, Barcelona has become the most "imbalanced" in offense and defense in recent years. All of this is in Frick's plan.

【Primary to me means "not retreating"! 】

At the beginning of the season, Barcelona quickly got into the state. Not only did they achieve excellent results, but the growth of young players was also gratifying. Frick faced Bayern and Real Madrid back to back, with 6 U22 players in the starting lineup, and away against Belgrade Red Star in the Champions League, 7 U22 players teamed up to win a great victory. Just like Guardiola, who pioneered the Tiki-Taka era, Frick once again made the world see the charm of "playing with his brain".

The Champions League "regular season" stage against rival Bayern Munich, the average age of Frick's starting lineup was 24 years and 185 days, making it the youngest UEFA Champions League lineup in 2011.

During Barcelona's attack on the entire line, Frick repeatedly emphasized the value of active attack tactics, and high-level defense and offside tactics are the carriers for achieving this goal. After nine months of multi-line journey, after 58 major and large wars, Barcelona has always insisted on "not retreating". Even if they occasionally encounter setbacks, they have not made concessions in their tactical style.

High-position defense combined with offside tactics can allow KuBraz and Inigor Martinez to play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, reducing Yamal's consumption.

Of course, Frick's "pride" is also based on realistic considerations - Barcelona does not have a traditional defensive midfielder, and Cassado's injury has caused very tight manpower in the back midfield position. The central defender with strong individual combat capabilities may be recuperated for a long time or it may be difficult to control offside tactics. If offside tactics are not adopted, the players' distances to and from the back will increase significantly, and the endurance of the season will inevitably be greatly reduced. Kubasi, Inigo Martinez and Pedri can defeat their opponents with their feet, but the defense line they support cannot accept the situation of continuous passive beating.

Offside tactics run through the entire season, and Barcelona maintains the defense line at around 34 meters, seeking wealth and honor in danger. In the first round of national derby, Kubasi and Inigor Martinez made Mbappe fall into the offside trap eight times, and Barcelona has since started a "four kill" journey against their mortal enemies.

From defeating Bayern Munich and Dortmund in succession, to eliminating Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey, and then completing the "four kills" against Real Madrid in the third-line battlefield, Barcelona performed extremely well in the strong dialogue this season. They seemed to be able to laugh to the end in the "shocking game" like bayonets. The players' performance in the skills, tactical execution and spiritual fighting spirit under their feet are all better than opponents of the same level, and the team's temperament has quietly undergone qualitative changes.

[Surviving in adversity, rebounding strongly]

Since losing to Real Sociedad away on November 11, 2024, Barcelona has fallen into a 40-day downward range, losing 16 points in 8 league rounds during the period, and 6 points behind the top of the list at the end of the half. Yamal's continuous injuries are worrying, and the registration issues of Ormo and others have caused the team to fall into a whirlpool of public opinion. When coaching Bayern Munich and the German national team, Frick felt the weightlessness of opening high and closing low, and he would not repeat the same mistakes after coming back this time.

Frick learned from his past two coaching experiences, and Barcelona was lucky enough to get the "Faust".

In the last game of 2024, Barcelona lost the "Battle of Heavenly Kings" against Atletico Madrid without scoring points. However, Frick and the players were not discouraged, and the epic victory in the Spanish Super League final became the turning point of the season for the Red and Blues.

Under Frick's command, Pedri got rid of the troubles of injuries and regained his "Iron Man" attribute when he debuted. Pedri has made 57 appearances this season, and he has integrated the characteristics of "Habaibu" and Barcelona's midfield motivation is surging.

Since 2025, Yamal has been making progress after getting rid of the troubles of injuries. Rafinia's hot state continues to continue. Ferran Torres has withstood the test during Lewandowski's injury. Barcelona's forward line has always maintained a stable and efficient output, and the fragile special defense line has not become a burden on their way to the championship. Before losing to Dortmund away, Barcelona won 24 unbeaten in all competitions, laying the foundation for La Liga championship in one fell swoop. In addition to being very strategic, Flick's on-site command also has many highlights and his grasp of tactical details is also very good. In order to save veteran Lewandowski's physical fitness, Frick asked the winger to lead the pressure, and the full-back could only move forward with the trend. This move would leave a lot of room on the two wings of the backcourt. Most of the consecutive losses in the last two months of 2024 were caused by "side leakage". When Ferran Torres partnered with Olmo, Frick asked the "double striker" to exert pressure on the front, which could not only form a tight network in the frontcourt, but also not give opponents an opportunity to take advantage of in the backcourt.

Visiting Meazza, Gerard Martin has changed from a "shortcoming" to an advantage, and Barcelona relies on the connection between the two full-backs to continue to create murderous intent. In the Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona dragged their incomplete defense and still fought with the most mature and experienced teams in today's European system until the last moment. With the absence of the number one center, Frick set up an inverted pyramid formation in the positional battle, and the connection between Herad Martin and Eric Garcia was amazing.

[Cultivate Mr. Golden Ball, Barcelona wants a great harvest]

The team honors were poor, and Frick's performance in training players also exceeded expectations. In the current list of popular candidates for the Golden Globes, Rafinia, Yamal and Lewandowski are all at the forefront, and Frick has created a highly compatible frontcourt offensive structure, and a good chemistry has occurred between the three players. There is an experienced all-around center paving the way and building bridges in the middle, and the teammates on the other side have extremely reliable finishing ability. Yamal was able to move closer to Messi in advance and transform into a front midfielder beside him.

Entering the middle rib from the wing, Yamal is already very experienced in the timing of breakthroughs, passes and shots.

In La Liga this season, Yamal has suffered 3 fouls per game, making him one of the most violated players. The risk of injuries he encountered after coming to the national team has increased. In terms of cultivating "Child Brother", Frick and Drafuent reached a consensus, which is to let the talented player enter the "Messi" rhythm ahead of schedule. After two injuries at the beginning of this season, Yamal began to focus on controlling the rhythm, no longer focused on breaking through and down the ground, and tried more and more to move closer to the middle rib, and sent a pass after flashing out of the space. This move can not only reduce the risk of injury, but also better create opportunities for teammates.

[Champions League regret, reserved wealth]

2019/20 season, Frick created the miracle of the "Six-Crown Championship" after taking over Bayern in the half-time, and since then he has become one of the top coaches in the world. The European football matches of that season were interrupted for some reason. After resuming work (August), Bayern actually won three championships in a single line. Many injured players returned from injury after the offseason. The physical fitness obtained from mid-term charging was completely released, and the strength and continuity of the "heavy metal flow" were fully guaranteed.

The situation this season is very different from that year. Barcelona needs to attack on multiple battlefields at the same time. The exhausted main players are struggling to cope with the cruelest schedule in history. Frick won the Civil War Grand Slam with a set of "remnant formations". The Champions League stadium reached a place that was only 3 minutes away from the final, and his achievements were comparable to the six-champion that year. The experience accumulated by Yamal and others in the cold rainy night in Meacha is expected to be fulfilled into a heavy trophy in the future.
