Hansi Flick, cautious despite the triumph vs Madrid and put an end to the controversy with Ancelotti

Hansi Flick spoke to the media after his FC Barcelona's thrashing of Real Madrid (0-4) and, although he did not hide his happiness, he was cautious and prudent in a press conference. At the end of the match, the German said that "we started the journey, we prepare for each match and we love to do things well. It was not easy, but we have to continue on the path. We defended well and we did a good job."

The key to the rout after the break

Barça sealed the Clásico after returning from the locker room. In this regard, the German said that "we made a change, we focused on defending well and putting pressure on the ball. It was important to play well with the ball and also without the ball. The key is that in the second half we dominated the ball better."

When asked if this was his happiest week since his arrival in Barcelona, ​​Flick did not want to get into excessive euphoria and said that "I have always said that I am very happy to work and live in Barcelona. It is an incredible job and a new part of my life."

He also did not hesitate to praise Iñaki Peña after his spectacular presentation at the Bernabéu, highlighting his importance in the clean sheet achieved against the merengues.

"I'm very proud of the team and I'm happy for Iñaki, who did very well today and we came away with a clean sheet. It gives confidence. The players celebrated in the dressing room and I love seeing this"

Regarding Lewandowski's great form at 36 years of age, the Blaugrana coach said that "we have to build an atmosphere in which the players can show their quality. The atmosphere in the club and in the team is very good," he commented, before giving his players a 'wake-up call' by stating that the focus is now on the next match against Espanyol.

"We can celebrate this victory, I'm giving them two days off after recovering tomorrow (Sunday). We can celebrate, but now we can focus on the next match against Espanyol"

The return of the injured and the risks of their system

Frenkie de Jong, Gavi and Dani Olmo came onto the pitch against the Merengues. All three, returns highly anticipated by the coach and the culés. "It's great to have Dani, Frenkie and Gavi back, but it's important for all the players. Fermin is also fine, it's good to have everyone at 100%, good for the coach," he said.

Regarding the risks of the system and the advanced defensive line, Flick explained that "every game is different, you have to do the job well. The four behind have been very good. And for Iñaki this game has been very important. Keeping a clean sheet is very good against these forwards."

The 'clash' with Carlo Ancelotti

Finally, the Blaugrana coach 'ended' the controversy with Ancelotti by stating that "I have spoken with Carlo. We have celebrated the goal and it is a normal situation, perhaps there was something that was not right."
