Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has called on his team to elevate their performance following a 2-2 draw against Real Betis in La Liga. Speaking after the match, the German tactician expressed dissatisfaction with his side’s reliance on long balls and their lack of urgency in moving the ball.
“It wasn’t a really good game, but we have a young team and we must improve a lot,” Flick remarked. “Away from home, as we have seen in recent results and also today, we must be stronger. It’s up to us to improve on that.”
Flick emphasized the need for faster ball movement and greater confidence in their style of play, warning that relying on long balls, a known weakness, cannot continue. The draw at the Benito Villamarin extends Barcelona’s inconsistent run of form, raising questions about their ability to challenge for honors under Flick’s leadership.
With crucial matches ahead against Borussia Dortmund, Leganes, and Atletico Madrid, Flick will hope his call for change resonates with his players as they look to close the year on a stronger note.
