Hansi Flick, excited about Gavi's return and calm about Eric García's fitness

FC Barcelona returned to action in LaLiga after the international break and did so in style. The Catalans gave a 'recital of anthology' against Sevilla and took the three points with another crushing thrashing (5-1). At the end of the match, Hansi Flick spoke to the media in a press conference and gave his feelings about the match, although the coach maintained his moderate speech.

"Every match is important, not only playing against big clubs, Sevilla was also difficult. We have returned from the break very well. I am very happy with the result. Today we celebrate the result and tomorrow we prepare for the match with Bayern," the German began by saying.

The return of Gavi and the 'scary' of Eric

Flick revealed that Frenkie de Jong could have started, although some discomfort prevented this from happening. "We were thinking that De Jong would start, but he was suffering from discomfort and we decided that he would train on the sidelines yesterday. Today he was not an option to start, although he could have played a few minutes but we decided on Gavi," he said.

Precisely, the return of the Andalusian to the pitch was the most special moment of the day for the Barça coach, who confessed to being excited by the long-awaited return of the '6'.

"I am very happy for Gavi. I have goosebumps with his return. It was important for him and for the team that he returned. Today was his objective. To be on the bench and his dream was to play five minutes. The whole club is happy for him"

On the other hand, Flick transmitted calm about the physical state of Eric García by ensuring that "he is fine and I hope he is an option for Wednesday," adding that "all the players are prepared. We have to prepare for each game. The team is ready. What I hope is that they play at 100% and then we will see the result."

The performances of Ansu and Pablo Torre and the flaws of his Barça

Regarding the minutes of Ansu Fati, who was a starter for the first time this season, the German said that "it is very important to be able to play, but after his injury it is not easy for him. It is great that he is back. He will improve his game, but I am happy." In addition, he highlighted the versatility of Pablo Torre by stating that "Pablo can play as a '7' and that is why we have placed him in Lamine's position. It is important for his confidence."

Finally, he expressed his disagreement with the goal conceded, this being the only self-criticism made by the German in his appearance. "We have to avoid conceding goals like the 4-1 because we always have to press the one who has the ball," he said, adding that against Bayern and Madrid "we have our idea of ​​​​play. Each rival is different and we also adapt to that."
