(Barcelone) L’entraîneur allemand Hansi Flick, héros du sextuplé historique du Bayern Munich en 2020, a été choisi mercredi par le FC Barcelone pour mener à bien la « reconstruction » entamée par Xavi Hernandez sur le banc du géant catalan.

Sans membership depuis la fin brutale de son aventure à la tête de la Mannschaft en septembre 2023, Hansi Flick s’est engagé pour deux saisons avec le Barça, toujours dans une state of affairs économique catastrophique après une saison blanche.

Il était annoncé depuis plusieurs mois comme le successeur potentiel de Xavi, qui a fini par être limogé quelques semaines après avoir été conforté à son poste pour la dernière année de son contrat, alors qu’il avait en premier lieu annoncé sa démission au terme de la saison fin janvier.

Selon la presse catalane, l’entraîneur de 59 ans, courtisé notamment par Chelsea, pour l’prompt sans entraîneur après l’annonce du départ de Mauricio Pochettino, a donné sa priorité au Barça pour y relancer sa carrière.

Soccer offensif

Si des doutes existent sur sa compatibilité avec l’« ADN Barça », hérité du soccer whole de la légende Johan Cruyff, le membership catalan se réjouit dans sa communication officielle d’accueillir « un entraîneur qui a quasiment tout gagné », « connu pour son soccer intense et anticonformiste de urgent haut ».

« La philosophie de jeu ici est similaire à la mienne, avec la possession du ballon et un soccer offensif et approach », a assuré Hansi Flick auprès des médias du membership, ajoutant qu’il réalisait « un rêve ».

Une analyse partagée par l’ex-international allemand Lothar Matthäus, qui estimait la semaine passée dans une entrevue au journal BILD que « le type d’Hansi convient bien à Barcelone ».

« Avec Pep Guardiola, Barcelone était un spectacle et produisait un grand soccer. Et avec Hansi, ils peuvent retrouver cette magie. Il veut que ses équipes jouent de manière offensive et attrayante », a détaillé le champion du monde 1990.

Ce technicien qui dit s’être inspiré d’Arrigo Sacchi ou Arsène Wenger dans sa formation pourra s’appuyer sur les bases construites par Xavi et l’émergence des jeunes pépites de la Masia Lamine Yamal, Pau Cubarsi, Gavi ou Fermin Lopez pour ramener le Barça vers les sommets.

« Le Barça a l’un des meilleurs centres de formation au monde. […] Cette équipe est un bon combine entre des joueurs d’expérience et des jeunes abilities » a estimé Flick.

Barça germanophone

Réputé proche de ses joueurs et ouvert au dialogue, il trouvera aussi en Catalogne de nombreux germanophones, dont certains de ses anciens joueurs (Ter Stegen, Gündogan et Lewandowski), ce qui pourrait aider à son adaptation, même si les médias espagnols affirment qu’il a commencé à apprendre l’espagnol.

« Avec Ter Stegen, Ilkay Gündogan et Robert Lewandowski, il dispose immédiatement de trois joueurs clés, ce qui est essential », a souligné Lothar Matthäus, rappelant que lorsque Flick était sélectionneur de l’Allemagne, « il avait fait de Gündogan son capitaine, ce qui témoigne de leur relation spéciale ».

Selon plusieurs médias catalans, Flick travaillerait déjà à faire venir le milieu bavarois Joshua Kimmich, ciblé par le FC Barcelone depuis plusieurs saisons, pour apporter de l’expérience et un peu d’équilibre à un effectif qui a en manqué dans les moments clés cette saison.

Ancien adjoint fidèle et discret de Joachim Löw, Hansi Flick avait échoué dans sa mission de succéder à l’emblématique sélectionneur allemand et n’a pas su relever une sélection en perdition depuis 2018.

C’est également en tant qu’adjoint de Niko Kovac que l’ancien milieu de terrain avait fait son retour au Bayern Munich, membership avec lequel il avait remporté 4 Bundesliga, qu’il a emmené vers un impensable sextuplé en 2020 (Championnat, Coupe d’Allemagne, Ligue des champions, Supercoupe d’Allemagne, Supercoupe d’Europe, Coupe du monde des golf equipment).

Un exploit qui paraît aujourd’hui hors de portée de Barcelone, condamné à une saison sans aucun trophée après une élimination cruelle en quart de finale de la Ligue des champions face au PSG et une saison à courir –– en useless – après son grand rival le Actual Madrid.

We persistently discuss in regards to the Saharan mud throughout hurricane season, however do you actually know what it’s and what it does? Chances are you’ll be shocked at its many impacts.

Dr. Kirt Knobelspiesse, a NASA analysis oceanographer, says it’s been tough to completely perceive the impacts of Saharan mud because of the lack of measurements previously. 

However due to the PACE satellite tv for pc launched by NASA in February, with the target of getting extra information on plankton aerosol, clouds and the ocean ecosystem, we might quickly have extra detailed info.

”So with PACE, we have particularly designed sensors that shall be excellent at measuring particulate matter, aerosols, similar to mud and clouds,” Knobelspiesse mentioned. “And so we’ll have the power to raised perceive that relationship and perceive the position that mud may play in hurricanes. It is nonetheless fairly unsure.”

What most do know is that because the thickest of plumes arrives in our sky, it could possibly create apocalyptic horizons, just like the one seen in South Florida in July 2023. And we have seen Saharan mud play a task in limiting tropical improvement.

However how?

What’s Saharan mud and what’s its position in hurricane season?

Saharan mud is precisely that–dust from the Sahara Desert, a particulate matter that strikes throughout the Atlantic waters sometimes June by means of August. 

Simply south of the desert, within the Sahel, is the place the monsoon season begins and creates thunderstorms. These storms both transfer into the Atlantic or collapse. As they collapse, outflow wind rushes out of the storms and into the desert, choosing up the mud and sending it into the environment. As soon as that occurs, higher degree commerce winds can then choose it up and carry all of it throughout the Atlantic basin.

“You possibly can see that mud touring very lengthy distances. [It] makes it to the Caribbean, it makes it to the Amazon basin. That mud interacts with cloud formation,” Knobelspiesse mentioned.

When there’s an abundance of mud, it makes it tougher for tropical waves to strengthen. Quite the opposite, if a hurricane has already developed and strikes into an setting with mud, the mud will begin to weaken the storm because the dry air will get wrapped into the system.

Saharan mud also can have an effect on any setting it strikes into.

When the mud strikes in, it creates a cap within the environment, so the humid air that sometimes rises for each day afternoon storms in the summertime can’t do this. The mud acts like a lid, and storms battle to type.

The mud also can mirror daylight and maintain the air beneath it a couple of levels cooler. If there’s constant and thick mud over the Atlantic waters, the floor temperature of the ocean can truly be impacted and funky.

Different impacts of Saharan mud

Saharan mud is not simply an essential issue throughout hurricane season. It additionally impacts the ecosystem in a novel manner.

“As soon as it settles down, it is also a fertilizer. It fertilizes progress of phytoplankton within the oceans. I consider it additionally fertilizes the Amazon basin and alter the kind of issues which can be residing there,” Knobelspiesse mentioned. “So these are kind of superb form of connections between what’s occurring in a desert in a single a part of the world to a really completely different setting in different elements of the world, and you may see it with satellites.”

And when it’s in our sky, it could possibly create a picturesque panorama for sunrises and sunsets, whereas concurrently triggering some discomfort for these with higher respiratory sensitivity.
