Henry criticized Flick after PSG defeat: “You can't play with such a high defensive line”
Former Barcelona striker Thierry Henry, who usually praises the Catalans’ play, this time delivered a scathing assessment of Hansi Flick’s tactics following the defeat to PSG.
Details: Speaking on CBS Sports, Henry accused the German coach of stubbornness and poor tactical choices:
“You can’t play in the Champions League with such a high defensive line, sorry. When you’re up against strong opponents, you leave yourself exposed. Every simple burst of pace can end in a goal. And that’s exactly what happened against PSG. We’ve talked about this more than once, but they didn’t want to change anything,” the Frenchman said.
Henry also added that sometimes coaches stubbornly stick to their ideas, even when the situation calls for adjustments:
“Yes, coaches can be stubborn, but in big matches that can cost you dearly. In games like this, Barcelona needs to be more cautious,” he emphasized.
Reminder: Messi may take part in the presidential elections in Barcelona.
