🚨🎙️ Karim Adeyemi on what Hansi Flick told him after the final whistle against Valencia:
“I was a little surprised, honestly, because we were already winning comfortably. But Flick was still angry with me because he wanted me to press more. He told me, ‘Karim, the score doesn’t matter. When we lose the ball, I need you to react immediately and put pressure on them.’
“I laughed because I thought, ‘Coach, we’ve just won 5-0!’ But I understand his mentality. For him, it’s never just about the result. He wants the intensity to remain the same until the final whistle.
“He knows I have the speed to be a problem for defenders, but he also wants me to use that speed defensively. I respect that because he’s demanding more from me, even when everything looks perfect.”
J’ai une vision avec Frenkie en défenseur central gauche.
Il serait parfait dans notre systeme à 3 avec le ballon. C’est à ce poste qu’il a percé.
Sans ballon j’ai plus de doute mais il a les qualités physiques et tactiques pour le poste.
Flick peut créer un nouveau truc
🎙 “What does the team need to improve?”
🚨 Hansi Flick: “When we are leading 5-0, I don't know if it is necessary to always keep attacking and attacking.”
▪️In moments like these, I want the team to control the match more - it is also important to conserve energy because we have a lot of matches.
▪️That is something we have to learn to do better.
