Regarding the player, Flick acknowledged that he has seen an evolution in his performance: «He is improving more and more and we realize that he did not arrive here in the best situation.

Regarding the distance with respect to Real Madrid in the League after the whites’ defeat in San Mamés, the German explained that he “always” seeks to focus on his team. «I try not to depend at all on the rivals, it doesn’t matter if it is Real Madrid or another. We don’t care what they do. “You have to focus on what you can do and the way we operate,” he added.
“We need Raphinha in all games. When he is healthy and available to play, he will play. If it works for 90 minutes, then up to 90, and if it is for less, then for less. You have to adapt, but he, like Lewandowski, It is vital for us. Both will be starters tomorrow,” said the culé coach regarding a possible rest for the Brazilian winger in the duel against Real Betis.
