Two out of three! Hansi Flick is once again awarded as the best coach of the month in LaLiga

More good news for FC Barcelona continues. This time, LaLiga EA Sports has confirmed that one of the assets of the Catalan team will be rewarded for the excellent month of October that the squad faced. Yes, through its various social media channels, the governing body of the Spanish tournament has ratified that Hansi Flick is the recipient of the Coach of the Month award for October.

Hansi Flick, who receives this award for the second time in three months of competition, prevails this time in this accolade over Carlo Ancelotti of Real Madrid and Imanol Alguacil of Real Sociedad, after the Catalan team achieved an impeccable record in October with three wins in three matches (accumulating nine out of nine possible points). These victories were against Deportivo Alavés in matchday nine, Sevilla in matchday 10, and the Madrid team in matchday 11.

HANSI II. 🏆🏆

These victories were not just any victories, as they were achieved with a truly overwhelming performance by FC Barcelona. The match against Alavés ended 0-3, the clash with Sevilla with a 5-1 scoreline, and finally, the encounter with Real Madrid, which was the icing on the cake, culminated in a historic 0-4 win. These impressive numbers translate to 12 goals in three matches, resulting in a striking average of four goals per game.

Barcelona had a month to remember in LaLiga EA Sports

Furthermore, it is important to highlight that under the guidance of Hansi Flick, Barcelona conceded only one goal in these three matches, positioning itself as the club that conceded the fewest goals in October. This defensive solidity has been a constant for the Catalan team, which not only is the highest-scoring team in the local tournament (37 goals) but also one of the least conceded (10) so far.

This is largely due to the influence of Hansi Flick, who has instilled in his players a very attractive offensive style of play, employing a wide range of resources and tools to threaten the opposition, knowing which style to adopt at each moment, whether being direct and vertical or controlling possession to dictate the pace of the game.

In terms of defense, besides being solid in one-on-one duels, it is remarkable how they have masterfully handled the defensive line and provoked the offside trap against their opponents. This tactic, when executed well, poses a real challenge for adversaries, but if not done effectively, it can be detrimental for a Barcelona that has rarely faltered in this aspect, if ever.
