Hansi Flick's message to Barça players after falling to Las Palmas

The defeat against Las Palmas marked a turning point for Barcelona, struggling to maintain consistency in a season full of ups and downs. In contrast to his reaction after the draw with Celta de Vigo, where the criticism of his players was harsh and public, Hansi Flick took a different approach this time. Instead of pointing fingers at his players for the poor performance, the coach opted for a more reflective approach, highlighting the importance of unity and team morale.

The Barcelona coach did not hide his disappointment after the unexpected defeat, a setback he described as "a great disappointment". He acknowledged that the opportunities created during the match were not capitalized on, which resulted in a bitter defeat for the Blaugrana squad.

Flick knows that Barcelona is going through a tough time, with a decline in physical performance compared to the start of the season. The intensity of play has decreased, and the pressure is not as strong as before, something that has been noticed in several recent matches. However, he believes this physical dip is temporary and trusts that with time and work, the team will regain its rhythm and aggressiveness on the field.

The coach has reasons to be optimistic. The return of key players such as Gavi, Frenkie de Jong, Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo, and Ferran Torres, who have been out due to injuries, could be the boost needed to revitalize the team. However, the upcoming matches against Mallorca, Real Betis, and Borussia Dortmund will test Barcelona's ability to respond. The coach knows that the road to recovery will not be easy, but he is confident that with perseverance, the team can emerge stronger from this slump.
