Hansi Flick has publicly shown his anger with LaLiga and sent several darts to its president, Javier Tebas, for how the competition manages the calendar of clubs that play European competitions, basically because of their little flexibility. In the press conference prior to the match against Celta on Saturday (16.15h), the Barça coach has regretted that “Spanish representatives are not protected”, unlike what “does happen in other leagues.”
The German wanted to send the message to LaLiga after the defeat in Dortmund after a loaded calendar, without facilities by Thebes. “We have played many games in these last two weeks. We have the same situation for Milan. The other day we arrive late, at three in the morning, putting us to sleep at five. This happens here. In each other league the clubs are protected when the Champions League is played. We have no time to rest. Those who decide have no idea.”
The team knows what to do tomorrow and I hope you show it
Due to the accumulation of tiredness of the team, the German coach does not want to put “excuses”, but he has branded the situation as “ridiculous”, because he considers that this poor management is detrimental to Spanish football, just when he has just secured a fifth place for the Champions League (which could be six). “I stay speechless because it is incredible. Each federation or league cares about their clubs. Not here. Here they say: ‘Let them play and they will arrive at five in the morning at their homes.’ They have no idea what this means for the players.”
The demanding calendar forces breaks, such as Pedri in Dortmund, sometimes detected by its data service. On other occasions, he explained that he speaks with the players “and if they are tired they tell me and make decisions about it.”
Despite this, Flick wanted to breastfeed for what was achieved so far. “Maybe we are not at the best moment, but I am proud of my team. In Dortmund we did not do the best game. We are on April 18, if someone had told us that we would be in the Cup final, in the semifinals of the Champions League, leaders … we would not have believed it. We only lost a game, and thanks to the first leg we are in the semifinals. The team knows what I should do tomorrow and I hope that I hope to show it tomorrow.

Regarding the game, Flick is aware of the difficulty of the rival, which already matched a 0-2 in the first round in Balaídos. “Celta has a clear idea of how he wants to play. It will be important to show our strength and do what we may not do in Dortmund. We have spoken and we must improve it.” He also highlighted the work of Claudio Giráldez, a 37 -year -old coach who has an “absolute respect” for directing a team “beautiful to see.”
