Barcelona's head coach, Hansi Flick, gave a series of important statements about the team's condition at the press conference he held before the match against "Alaves" tomorrow.
Idman.Biz reports that Flick first touched upon Ronald Araujo's condition and stated that the captain has a stomach virus and will not be available tomorrow.
The head coach, while talking about the impact of the defeat to "Chelsea" on the team, stated that it was very heavy and said that they focused on the upcoming games.
Flick also responded to the criticism of the defense line:
"When we concede three goals and lose, it's easy to say that it was a bad game or that it wasn't the "Barcelona" we wanted to see. Some don't understand why we have to play with a high defensive line. This is our style and it's not just about the defenders. Pressing starts with the attackers and midfielders. It seems that the defense is being blamed, but that's not fair. If we all don't press effectively, there will be problems. I want to make that clear again."
Flick also spoke about the squad that will play against "Alaves":
"I don't like talking about the starting lineup, but Christensen may be one of the starting options tomorrow. The team's attacking potential will also increase: "The players are very attentive and have high quality. Pedri, Rafinha and Marcus Rashford will make a greater contribution to the team."
