Thierry Henry puts Hansi Flick in his place

Last night, FC Barcelona won 5-2 at Red Star on the fourth day of the Champions League. Compliments are raining down this Thursday on the Catalan team, which is impressing under the orders of its new coach Hans Dieter Flick. On the set of CBS Sport last night, Jamie Carragher praised the German technician. The former Liverpool player was interrupted by Thierry Henry, who has a very different opinion on the subject.

“I don’t think Flick has started a new era. It was Xavi who did it. Flick continues what Xavi started. He launched Cubarsi, Lamine… It was Xavi who launched a lot of players there. Xavi left and Flick came, but I think with the two years they played with Xavi, going through a complicated season like the previous one, that's where you learn more about your character and what you have to TO DO. I think this team should be considered at the moment as one of the favorites to win the Champions League. Are they going to win it? You have to lose a semi-final along the way, lose a quarter-final, to understand how difficult it is to go all the way. But I think they are equipped to go all the way.” That's what it says!
