Barcelona’s last training session before traveling to Madrid where this Saturday they will play the classic at the Bernabéu. Hansi Flick spoke to the press after the last preparatory session. The Blaugrana arrive after a rout of Bayern Munich in the Champions League, so morale is through the roof. However, the coach does not believe that it will affect tomorrow’s game. «To be honest, I don’t think much about the game. But we want to play. It will be a great game», Flick began explaining. The coach was confident after the sensations he has noticed: «We have different ideas in our approach. Against Bayern we realized that we had to improve certain things. In this case we will have to adapt to Madrid. There are always players who go very fast. Now that we play against Madrid, which is a very prepared team but I trust my team because they are doing great. I liked seeing how we went ahead after 1-1 against Bayern. That is an example of what we are doing well, with more possession and more confidence. This is the key, keep moving forward and adapt to different situations.
The German did not give much importance to the fact that Real Madrid had one more day of rest after playing their European match on Tuesday. «We can’t do anything about it. Real Madrid played on Tuesday and we played on Wednesday. Each one, to his own. The players will make do. “They have trained very well,” said the German coach, who assured how his team should play: “Many coaches pay attention. Our idea is to put maximum pressure on the ball. We have to get closer and closer, we have to be a compact unit and not leave spaces between the lines. What we did in the second half against Bayern was great. You have to balance the loads so that the sessions are not so hard. The players are doing great. The footballers are adapting. I believe in the team and we have many qualities. It’s what we want to see. Everyone is playing and running at their best. They support each other. “The team knows what it has to do and that our greatest strength is being united.”
Flick did not want to give clues about the eleven he will field. Against Bayern he surprised by placing Fermin: «I have not decided if he will be a starter. He was involved in three goals. He puts great pressure and did what he wanted with the ball. What we wanted it to do it has done. We are happy with your return. Showed great performance and that was great.” He was also seen talking during training with Lamine Yamal: “It’s normal for me to talk to the players. We have a great team and exceptional players like Laminate. But there is also Pau Cubarsí… how he plays. What he has done… It is also very good. “This is our team and we need everyone with the highest performance for tomorrow.”
Flick criticized the Real Madrid television make videos criticizing the referees. «I didn’t know, it is not right for this to be done. Referees have a very hard job. It’s not my job, mine is to prepare the players. I have good experience with referees. I have no problem. I told my team to focus on the performance and not the referee. If there is any play, it is checked. We don’t look at the referee’s performance,” he explained. And he did not want to argue about the refereeing actions at the Bernabéu: “I already played there with Bayern Munich many years ago and nothing happened.”
Flick gave reason to Kompanywho said that Cubarsi He will be one of the best centre-backs in Europe: «It’s really great to see him, how he plays… It all depends on him. He is always hungry to improve, to train hard, to raise the bar… he gives everything for the club. Take an extraordinary path. All the players are on the right path. Our job is for all players to improve every day.”
Finally, the German referred to the continuous praise he has been receiving since he arrived at Barcelona: «It’s good that they praise you… but I know what my job is. And my work is the results, If you win, good and if you don’t, then not so good.. We focus on how to want to play, on putting passion into it… the city… the connection is palpable. I love it. I adore him. Wednesday night was a fantastic atmosphere. That’s why we play football, to win. In the classic, too. When everyone plays they do it for the fans. Playing the classic is what everyone wants. This is the classic in capital letters. “Those from Germany are not the same.”
