Controlled euphoria at Barça: Flick praises his players, but warns about the return leg in Germany and the challenge against Leganés
The coach of FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick, was satisfied with the brutal performance of the Barça team after the overwhelming 4-0 victory over Borussia Dortmund at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys. In the press conference after this authentic goal fest in Montjuïc, the German coach positively assessed the collective performance and highlighted the sublime moment of form that his players are going through.
However, despite the 'sweet' present of FC Barcelona, Flick does not get carried away by euphoria and keeps his feet on the ground, even more so when the Barça team still has to finish the job at Signal Iduna Park. "A 4-0 is a fantastic result, but I know Dortmund, I know what it's like to play there," Hansi asserted, aware that there is still much ahead.
Winning mentality: already thinking about Leganés
Far from showing any kind of relaxation after the great match that his team has just played in the Champions League, the coach of the Barcelona team already has his sights set on the next challenge for the squad from the Ciudad Condal: "Now we must think about Leganés, see how the players are physically and decide who can play." Flick does not want surprises and knows that he should not neglect his actions in LaLiga, a competition that Barcelona leads by a small difference of four points.
Connection with the dressing room and ambition to improve
The German coach also did not hesitate to highlight the unity that exists within the Barça group and the great relationship he maintains with each of his pupils. "My team matters a lot to me, I get along very well with everyone. We always want to improve. We will analyze today's match thinking about the future," Flick analyzed.
Likewise, Hansi revealed the key to the great moment that Barcelona is experiencing as a collective. "It is important to enjoy playing football. We must ensure that this is successful. Everyone is a wonderful player," expressed the German, giving a key that is unequivocally visible on the field.
In turn, Flick took the opportunity to 'show off' the game plan with which the Catalan team faced the commitment against Dortmund, another of the great keys to the overwhelming Barça victory. "This is how we want to play, even if it hadn't worked. If we hadn't done it that way, the result would not have been so positive," he warned.
"There is a lot of work behind everything we do. For Barça, it is important that at this point of the year we have won consistently and that we are aiming for all the titles," Hansi emphasized, making it clear that the ambition of the Barcelona team is total.
Raphinha, a key piece for Flick
In another vein, the German coach surrendered to Raphinha, who, against Borussia Dortmund, broke his drought in style, scoring a goal and providing a couple of assists, demonstrating that his football is still more current than ever. "Raphinha continues to show that he is an incredible player. He is proving what I saw in him from day one," he emphasized.
The return of Ansu Fati
Finally, Flick was open to talking about the case of Ansu Fati, who saw minutes against Borussia Dortmund after three months of total ostracism: "The team is in a fantastic moment. Ansu knows what I expect from him, and everyone likes to see how the players strive", he concluded.
