About Flick and Barça
Flick's arrival could not have come at a better time, as Barca's situation could not have been worse. The reason why Barcelona chose Flick is that there are not many other options. But judging by the team's performance so far, there's no denying that they're doing a decent job. But what I don't understand is that they promoted so many young players, I don't know if it was because of the coach's intentions or because of financial pressure.
About Real Madrid
I don't think Real Madrid have yet to find the balance of playing as a whole, they rely more on the individual quality of the players to make up for the lack of team. But if you want to win a big title, all 11 men have to defend in the same way, not just on individual performances.
About Mbappe
Mbappe needs to adapt, but it's been a few months since he joined and it's time to show what everyone expects from him, because there's no doubt about his ability.
About Vinicius and Mbappe
There is a bit of a small competition between Mbappe and Vinicius, who can be more brilliant, who plays in which position... But that's not the mentality that the team needs.
Sacchi was the first coach to incorporate star players such as Ruud Gullit, Van Basten and Rijkaard into a team, and this is the best example of teamwork I've ever seen, combining 11 individuals into a complete team.
On his previous experience adapting to La Liga
It was like jumping into a pool and I had to swim myself.
