Hansi Flick took advantage of his recent intervention at the press conference prior to the match between Osasuna and Barcelona to reveal whether he will carry out rotations in this match, in addition to making other key statements about Barça
Hansi Flick appeared in the press conference before the FC Barcelona versus CA Osasuna match, which will take place on Saturday, September 28 at 9:00 PM at El Sadar, the home ground of the Navarre team. On this occasion, the German coach took the opportunity to discuss whether he will make rotations for the game against Osasuna, the potential Barça's record of victories, and he praised his coaching staff and players.
The Heidelberg native, true to his upfront style, wanted to confirm that in the match against CA Osasuna, he will make some rotations, although he did not dare to mention a specific name. "Obviously, there will be some rotation; we have to do it. We also need experienced players like Raphinha or Lewandowski, who are very important for us; we need to see how they are feeling," he remarked.
The record of consecutive victories for Barcelona in LaLiga
In this regard, discussing the match, Hansi Flick did not want to place too much importance on the record of consecutive wins at the start of the league season, which FC Barcelona will seek to maintain after their visit to Pamplona. "It's always good to win. We are not focused on whether it's a record. We are going there and have prepared to win, although I know it's very difficult. They are very strong at home. I've heard that their stadium has an incredible atmosphere and that the fans support their team a lot. I like that," he emphasized.
The absence of Marc Casadó and Raphinha in Friday's training session
Similarly, the German coach wanted to address the absence of Marc Casadó and Raphinha in today's training and whether this will have any impact on their presence in the squad for the match against CA Osasuna. "It is what we have. We give players the opportunity to recover, and sometimes it's beneficial not to be on the field; we need to follow the best treatment. Tomorrow we will do some activation exercises and assess if they can participate," he stated.
Hansi Flick's satisfaction with the team and the FC Barcelona coaching staff
Likewise, Hansi Flick did not hesitate to highlight the quality of the Barça squad this season, expressing pride in leading a team like FC Barcelona. "This is about quality. Coaches are delighted with the players; they work with a lot of passion and follow our instructions. It's a privilege to be the coach of Barça," he emphasized.
To conclude, the German coach wanted to reaffirm the work of his coaching staff, praising the fundamental role they have played in everything recently achieved by the Blaugrana team. "We have an exceptional team of coaches. The work of the coaching staff around the team is fantastic. We create an environment for players to grow, and they trust us," he concluded.
