From the source

Hansi Flick has no intention of abandoning Barcelona’s established tactical system despite growing criticism of the team’s lack of variety in its style of play and difficulties against opponents who use man-marking.

According to Catalunya Radio (h/t FCB World), the German coach recently held a meeting to assess the team’s current situation, with his coaching staff remaining convinced that the solution lies in refining their existing approach rather than making sweeping tactical changes.

Flick pays limited attention to analysis and criticism produced outside the club, although other members of his coaching staff follow the debate more closely. What has surprised them is the sudden shift in scrutiny towards the Barcelona manager, with questions emerging over his ability to find tactical solutions when opponents successfully disrupt his team’s usual approach.
