When Flick was asked by a journalist about Real Madrid’s new signings and their new manager, José Mourinho, he simply replied: “Am I playing Real Madrid tomorrow? Then you’d better ask me about Elche.” That’s how you answer a question. Calm, confident and with personality. No pointless statements or childish soundbites just to grab headlines, only to get exposed on the pitch later. Madrid fans are now saying Flick is scared. Seriously? Is it really that embarrassing to say this about a manager who has beaten you 7 times in 2 years and left you trophyless across 2 seasons? Anyway, see you halfway through the season. By then, the “Special One” will probably be gone, just like the managers before him who got sacked after Flick exposed them.
