Thoughts after the Hansi Flick match

When asked about Fermin’s performance, Flick admitted that he wants to give more play time to him.

“I would like to give all the players more minutes, but that is not always possible. We have great players in the center of the field.

“Today, Fermin showed his strength and dynamism. He was present during the full 90 minutes in defense and attack. He played brilliantly, showed his ability to be decisive and make a difference. “ said.

“I think he was the man of the party. He deserved it because he was involved in so many goals and, of course, he is a special player. He has a good ending and the dynamics he added today was incredible, “ Added.

Another star artist at night was Ferran Torres, who was a living cable throughout the game and even scored a goal in the first half.

“I was very happy with him today, but I think he could have scored two or three more goals. That is his job and has shown that he can do that. That is your strength.

“It is important to always try it and it was the right decision for him to play as a number 9 today. But he also knows that he can score more goals “, said.

Flick was also asked about Alejandro Balde, and journalists asked him about similarities with Alphonso Davies.

“I have to think seriously because how to deal with him is not easy. Bucket is a player who needs confidence, and at this time, his performances are incredible. He has improved a lot and I like what I see.

But I think it has much more potential and can make it even better. When you see it under pressure and how it deals with situations, it is beautiful to see it “, said.

“It can definitely improve, not only in defense but also in attack, by passing and even scoring goals. He is a fast player and in a great way at this time, but he needs to prove his worth in each training session and also in each game.” Added.

Flick went to praise his players for producing a strong show despite all the changes made in the initial eleven.

“Seeing players act like this, regardless of their previous participation, it’s great. We have a strong team and I think this performance should be a starting point to continue playing at this level “, said.

The German tactic also explained his decision to rotate the team, citing some freshness that was required in the field.

“We discussed it with the staff and we thought it was very important that we need some new players in the field. It was nice to see that because we started the game with a lot of approach from the beginning.

The objectives we write down were also really good. For me it was a perfect game because we saw many positive things from players who usually do not play much, so it was a perfect game,“, Said.

As for the decision to submarin in Pablo Torre before Gavi, the German added, “When the two were warming up, Gavi told me that it would be better for tower to play and not him.”

Flick, meanwhile, went to a key decision: Wojciech Szczesny starting before Inaki Pena in among the sticks.

“When I say a fortress for Szczesny, it does not mean a weakness for Inaki, both are fantastic. We saw that the levels are very close and, sometimes, it is just a feeling or whatever. Then we have to make the decision.

“That is my job, and that is also the work of the coaches with whom we talk about him. And, of course, both are fantastic goalkeepers. We decided that Szczesny would begin today and I think it was the right decision. ” said.

When asked about the headline of Barcelona in the next future, Flick remained shy.

“What I said before the game was that with Szczesny we did not lose a game. For me, that is very important. I know it is not the best situation for Iñaki, but that is part of football.

“I don’t know. I think he will continue like this in the next matches. But this is football, everything depends on performance and team. We think about which player gives the team the force he needs, and that is how we decide,” said.

With respect to the performance of the team in general, Flick added, “For me, it is a good situation. I prefer to be in that situation than only having 11 players and always play with them. We have a very good team and today they showed it. “

Flick went to the future of two key players who have been linked to a transfer from Barcelona this month: Eric García and Ansu Fati.

While Garcia began against Valencia, Fati was an unused substitute. Flick, for that purpose, confirmed that he wants Garcia to stay while he remains shy about the future of the latter in the club.

“I want him to stay. He is a very important player. I know he wants to play more, but he played well today and showed how good it is “, He said when asked about Garcia.

Regarding Fati’s future, Flick declared, “I have no new information. We talk and I think he wants to stay, if that is the case, then that is good, but, as with other players, they have to prove their worth and act when they have the opportunity.. “

The manager of Barcelona was asked whether or not the philosophy of Johan Cruyff continued, since the team has played entertaining football this season while granting many goals.

“I like this style. Of course, we do not want to grant goals, but scoring objectives is always a great pleasure. “ He replied.

Barcelona’s victory over Valencia also meant that the team has now reached 100 goals for the season. However, the film is not worried about statistics.

“Nothing, it is good to make a good show and today it was great for fans. I think they enjoyed this victory a lot, it is good to see them celebrate,“, Said.

Finally, in the team’s performance, the German concluded, “The energy in the field was excellent since the beginning of the game. We started with the first goal, then we continued playing like this, and it was great to see that.
