"If you get down even 1 meter, I'll take it out."

The locker room warning of 'Yongjang', which led to a great victory in the fateful 'Derby', has become a late topic of conversation.

The main character who drew attention is Han Ji-flick, the coach of FC Barcelona in the Spanish Primera Liga.



FC Barcelona, led by him, won 4-0 against Real Madrid in the 11th round of La Liga in the 2024-2025 season at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain, on the 27th.

A big margin of victory in a global rival match, often called 'El Clasico', was enough to make headlines. In particular, world star Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid) made headlines by recording a total of eight offside infamations in the match. There were a total of 12 offside committed by Real Madrid on the day, including Mbappe's 8.

Barcelona's tactic to raise the defense line to the extreme was effective in neutralizing Real Madrid's attack. A case in point is that Mbappe shook the net twice, but it was canceled due to an offside decision.

The Spanish media 'Mund Deportivo' introduced Flick's mercenary skills as the secret to his great victory on the 1st (Korea time). The trick was to whip the players to keep the defense line high.



It was his stern warning message that made the players nervous. Flick, who reportedly finished 0-0 in the first half, stressed "Don't get down" at the locker room meeting.

In the process of encouraging Barcelona defenders not to be afraid to raise the line, Flick said he would replace even a player who would lower the DF line by a metre" also made a threat.

In the end, Barcelona, which maintained the height of its defense line similar to that of the first half, took the lead in the attack instead of neutralizing the opponent's attack. In the second half, he still used Real Madrid as food for the offside trap, and scored a complete victory with a series of goals.

This season, Barcelona reportedly recorded a total of 77 offside inducements until the 11th round of La Liga.
