Hansi Flick, the head coach of the Spanish football team "Barcelona", participated in a press conference before the important match against "Atletico" in the Spanish La Liga. The German expert shared his views on the team's preparation and other issues on the agenda.
Idman.Biz reports that Flick specifically emphasized the strength of the opponent, noting the importance of avoiding mistakes.
"We will face one of the best teams in La Liga and Europe. It is very important that we do not repeat the mistakes of the last match. I was satisfied with the game my team showed after the break, we have energy and we need to focus. It is always difficult to play against "Atletico" because they have a great team and a coach considered one of the best in the world. I highly value their style of play and their players with high individual skills," said the head coach.
Speaking about Rafinha's injury, the head coach did not hide the distressing situation:
"His injury happened at the worst time for both us and him. We are very disappointed about this, but football and life are like that. I spoke to Rafinha on a video call, he was very sad. That's why Deku and I gave him the opportunity to stay in Brazil. Because he needs to gather his thoughts right now. He will return this week and start rehabilitation from Monday. Now we have to think about how to manage without him".
The coach also provided information about the latest condition of the injured players, Markus Rashford and Gavi's form:
"The good news is that Alexandro Balde and Jul Kunde are back. Erik Garcia has also joined us. As for Frenki de Jong, we have to wait a bit. Maybe he will start training with the team next week. I am very happy that Gavi is back to this level, he proves it in every training and gives us additional options. As for Rashford, I am satisfied with him. He has had some problems and injuries in recent weeks. Now he has a great chance to prove himself again".
