Sports News of Saturday, 14 February 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comSome Barcelona players have reportedly raised concerns about head coach Hansi Flick’s tactical approach in big games, particularly his reliance on the ‘high-line’ system and the exclusion of certain key players. After the game, the German coach criticised his players for their lackluster performances, which he said contributed to the poor result. It was suggested that the players urged Flick to adopt a more “pragmatic approach in key games,” expressing concern over the high defensive line. They argued that tactics should be adjusted based on the strength of the opposition and the availability of key players, as absences could negatively affect performances. Barcelona were without Raphinha and Pedri during the heavy defeat, with many believing their absence dealt a significant blow to the team’s ability to execute Flick’s system effectively.
