@@Prasko131this season exactly. MVP at olimpics with crazy performances. He’ll wake up. Also calling him the worst is a joke. Cama tchoumeni both playing as bad seasons or even worse than he is
Flick keeps on adding layers of dynamism and tactics as time passes and more the players return... The most recent was integration of Gavi, then Fermin + Torre danger and last match Olmo as False 9...
Another thing I admire about Olmo is his defensive work rate. He turns into the best defender when the team needs him. He was unlucky with his shots but I wasn't even mad because I know his contribution to the team. Great signing!!!! 💙❤️
0:12 THAT IS EXACTLY WHY I WANTD OLMO..... TIGHT SPACES!! Dani Olmo is the PERFECT 10 & False 9 for a Barça system. I kept saying HECK NO to him playing any wing, not even the inverted version that Raphinha and Lamine are playing now. Olmo MUST be in the CENTER of the park. His playmaking, shooting, dribble, control, touch, vision and everything about him is PERFECTLY what Barça NEEDED last summer. Yes, a winger too but more so under Xavi system which rely heavy on wide wingers... Flick team doesn't rely on wide wingers which is why Raph is doing so good now.
Many fans including those RUclipsrs don't have a clue about football. They can't see this because they have zero knowledge of football but opening RUclips channels . Almost all of them were bashing olmo signing . Now they on the olmo train .talking about fermin and pablo Torre
That wud b awesome....n asking Lewa to stay n he chd play cup games n some laliga starts, n come as sub in champions league....n same for Isaak.... I think same as u that's the next step for Barca❤❤
0:23 Lewy dont need to worry, he will be first choice CF. However, in situations where need to make a switch in game, Olmo is a great alternative to change approach of the game.
his touch is impecable, link up play magical, he has a great shot, he can press really high, he should be starting against these small teams as a false 9
Iniesta was my favorite player since he became part of the first team, not even starter. When he left Barca I stopped watching football cause the golden era was over and cause NBA became my primary focus. Last summer I was around my 11y.o. nephew during Euro and was quite shocked to know that he's a madridista. I wasn't plan to watch Euro-24 but because of him I did. The way spanish team played brought the feelings I had while watching Barca. I didn't know Dani Olmo at all but I liked him immediately cause he immediately reminded me of my beloved Andres Iniesta in slightly more attacking role. After his second game I was captivated by his play. I said to my nephew Matvey that if Barca buy him I'll start watch their games again. Well, it happened! And boy, I have so much joy every game, well almost. Lamine is the best, Pedri is the magician, and still Dani Olmo is my favorite player now.
@@geoffreykeenan5914 I think Flick has finally understood we need more rotations so that November-December period doesn't happen again. Even then we played well and were the better team in most games (Sociedad was probably our only deserved loss and we also had a legal goal ruled out). But now he's gonna start involving more players from the bench to help rest others. Olmo needs breaks every so often to stay fit, Lewandowski will get rested by olmo's false 9 and other tactics, cubarsi yamal raphinha pedri also need rest too so fermin, gavi, torre and frenkie will need to step up And Christensen, araujo, and Eric will need to help rest cubarsi and inigo when hes back from injury. Eric can also put in a shift in midfield if needed
@@FATI_SZN What you say makes sense with regard to rotations and giving players rest. But I don't know that I would look at our loses as should-have-won's. They were close games but, the way Barcelona was playing, I could see them losing more close games. And in order for Barcelona to contend for the league, it has to start dominating league games, not wining by a thread. I don't want Olmo to replace Lewandowski because Lewandowski needs rest, I want Olmo to replace Lewandowski because the offense (and midfield, and defense) played qualitatively better with Olmo in that position. I don't think it was a one-game phenomenon, could be wrong about that.
@@geoffreykeenan5914 Every time we've dropped pts there's been an asterisk next to it. Obviously it doesn't excuse the fault but it gives some context Monaco: red within 10 minutes, game was already over as we were away Osasuna: played essentially a C team away at one of the hardest stadiums in La Liga to rest players. They were on good form as well. A loss was expected as Flick underestimated them Real Sociedad: Lewandowski's legal goal ruled out but the performance after was horrible. Probably one of the few times we've been dominated this season Celta: Casado red with which they score right after and kounde gifted them a goal. We threw the game away. Otherwise it should've been a win Las Palmas: we were the better team but missed a lot of chances. You could argue the ref didn't award us some penalties but our finishing was off the whole game. 2 low xG shots won them the game and maybe Pena should've done better with them Real Betis: another decent performance that was thrown away at the end with a penalty mistake and after that momentum was in their favor for the equalizer. Not even ferran's could help us stay maintain the lead Leganes: conceded early then had to play a packed bus. We had the chances but again we couldn't finish Atleti: probably our 2nd best performance of the season after the last game against Betis. We were unplayable and a few mistakes cost us the points. Now in all these games there were a few ref mistakes but I don't care about that. In this stretch of games we severely underperformed our xG and that type of finishing only comes when we fail to rest our players. Soon with more breaks and rotation I think we'll be back to good form (no surprise we played well after every international break and some players got a 2 week break but not as well with the 2 month stretch without one) Flick just needs to rotate the squad more We were also welcoming back some injured players. I feel that recently we are playing better with more control and don't have to waste as much energy as before. We also have our full squad essentially back apart from Bernal and MATS (Inigo will be back in like 3.5 weeks) I think Flick is also understanding the best way for us to remain mentally stable and secure the win in unpleasant game states. We didn't collapse against madrid and that's a good start. It's better that we went through this bad form early in the season rather than have it be in March/April and lead to us losing everything. We still have a chance at 3 more trophies
@@geoffreykeenan5914 sorry for the long post. I shouldn't have written this much but I agree with your take. Flick will definitely start using more formations and Tactical tweaks to keep us unpredictable and Olmo's false 9 will be a good backup plan to have
The difference between this game and last game was that last game there was a player that goes by the name "Chimy Avila" who thought he was playing Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter on the pitch.
As mean as this may sound, the best thing about this game was Lewandowski's absence. That allowed us to increase significantly the pace in attacks. Reaction speed being a very important aspect for a striker, Lewandowski's time has passed, at least for this high level of competition.
It's not mean, it's just ignorant and wrong. Lewandowski was pivotal in most of our wins against the big teams this season. You really have no idea what you are talking about, you are just full of hate
@@snivvelslurderagementai2560 I'm sure he will score every penalty he will take. But other than that I don't expect more than 1 goal in La Liga from free flow attacks.
@@curtischarles5299 He is 100% inconsistent. I've watched almost every game he's played for Spain and some for Leipzig. Now all of his games for Barca and you must have already forgotten that he had a run or 5-6 bad games this season already where most of the things he tried just didn't work out
@Prasko131 bad games ? That's your opinion and your opinion is not fact. Rarely players play every single game perfect . He had some games where his influence was not as great as others but he certainly is a top class player . You are exaggerating.
@Rawly-su1vz the narrative that you all are painting is that olmo is playing game after game and just not performing consistently and that's rubbish . What I agree to is that he is injury prone . Now when you come off injury you will take a game or two to get back to your best and that happens to everyone who experiences injury . Even gavi it took him a few games to get back to his best now .even pedri when he was experiencing injuries . So don't come here with that rubbish
It is a good tactic which will help Lamine, Raphinha and Gavi a lot. Olmo is quite unlucky in front of goal. Should he be a little more clinical, he can really help the team.
Totally agree on false 9 role, which suits Olmo (v. Betis) more, the Lewy (v. RMA). But both sides weren't low block buses like Getafe we gonna play soon. Let's see how it works then.
1:48 true, but he wont have this much space against every team, especially top teams. Lewy always had a defender on him, now they will try to track down Olmo in False 9 also. Advantage in this situation Olmo have over Lewy is that he is better at his overall movement, first touch, close dribbles and finding paces because that is his natural game. Lewy may have been able to be better at that at a younger age, cant expect that consistently now.
My homeboy all i can say is that good coaches find solution when they realise that other coaches have solutions against their tactics. This is what differentiate Hansi Flick from Carlo Ancelotti. Flick is the tactician while Ancelotti is not but cup winners who relies on individual brilliance of each players.
So what do you think is good for Barcelona in the long term? Playing with a false nine or a traditional striker? And which of the names being speculated would be best for Barcelona? Isak? Gyokeres? Durán? Or someone else? Ps. I really like Olmo as a false 9 because he plays like a false antenna that distracts defenders, which the wingers can benefit from, and he is also extremely creative, which is another big advantage
@@tacticsfcb3952 But if Barcelona were to prioritize using a false nine, like Olmo, against smaller teams, it might not appeal to top-tier strikers who prefer playing in a more traditional forward role, regularly starting in every game. A high-profile striker would want to know they are a central part of the team's plans, not just a rotational option. If Barcelona's tactics relied heavily on a false nine, it could deter top strikers from joining, as they may seek clubs where they can play consistently in their preferred position, especially against both big and smaller teams.
Lewy will play stop that… No way you play Olmo as the number 9. Lewy needs to rest! If you have been played football or watch Arsenal you will know you need a 9. Olmo shouldn’t start as number 9! Barca doesn’t play with that high backline again.
@@Luxuryhomes37 You need a number 9! Torres is there! You can’t play with Olmo as number 9 in big games! Seriously just watch Arsenal. Olmo won’t do tap ins like Torres again Dortmund or Lewy! He won’t!!
Man for a tactic reviewer you say a lot of bs, don't you? When did Betis become a low block team? When did Pedri become a Xavi profile and olmo the Iniesta profile? Also Iniesta never played false 9..... it's all over the place
First of all stop cirtique and enjoy the ride I am taking you on.
