"Flick, optimistic before Leganés: 'The team is ready to compete'."

Calendar of FC Barcelona

FC Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, appeared before the match against Leganés (matchday 31 of LaLiga) and made clear his total involvement with the Azulgrana project: “I work at the best club in the world,” he assured. In addition, he reviewed the physical condition of the team, spoke about rotations, Ansu Fati's performance, and the importance of maintaining motivation even against rivals who are fighting for permanence.

🧠 Total commitment: “No one questioned our idea”

Flick explained that the key to the change has been that everyone, coaching staff and players, share the same football vision:

“The most important thing is that we speak the same football language. It's not about the language itself, but about the idea. No one questioned it. Iñigo Martínez is a great example: he has adapted and is now a leader. What he has done is fantastic.”

🔄 A squad of 26, not 11

“A team is not built with the 11 starters, but with the 26 players that make it up. Everyone must be ready to perform. And right now, everyone knows what they have to do.”

🔥 Ansu Fati is still knocking on the door

Flick was cautious when talking about Ansu Fati:

“Will he play? We'll see. All I can say is that he is training at a great level. That's what we expect from him.”

❌ No relaxation: “Relaxed in Dortmund with a 4-0? Not at all”

“We must show in every game how good we are. That is what the fans want. Play well, compete, show our level.”

💪 Physical preparation on point

The coach highlighted the work of Deco and his team:

“Deco has brought a spectacular staff. We are in a great moment. When a player finishes tired, the next day he is already recovered. That speaks of the work that is being done.”

🔄 Inevitable rotations

“I will not confirm anything, but changes must be made. There are many games and it is important to give rest.”

⏰ Pressure to play before Madrid?

“If we win earlier, better, because we put pressure. But we must focus on ourselves. If we win every game, what Madrid does doesn't matter.”

🧠 Motivation: matches like the one against Leganés also count

“If you want to be champion, you have to win against everyone. Also against those who are fighting for relegation. Leganés already won against Atleti and competed well against Madrid. It will be tough.”

🚑 Olmo, confirmed absence

“He will not travel. It is better for him to stay at home.”

💬 Renewal? Step by step, but with pride

One of the most powerful moments of the press conference came when talking about his future. Flick did not commit to a renewal, but he made his feeling clear:

“I am enjoying this experience. I have a magnificent staff, professional players with a winning mentality, and a family atmosphere. I work at the best club in the world and I enjoy it every day. The situation is not easy, but we are all rowing together. I have one year left on my contract, and if everything goes well, another one. The important thing is to focus on this season. First Leganés, then Dortmund.”
