The look endsHansi Flicck ended his brief appearance, always emphasizing his focus on the team more than the individual. The Barça coach reiterated that he likes what he has in the squad and expressed his confidence in the reliability of Dani Olmo, “because he is ready to play, I see it in training.” He also saw Fermín ready, arriving “in shape.” He didn’t talk about the problems in the market because that’s not my job” and highlighted that Ilkay Gündogan “changed his mind” about continuing at Barça, praising his human and football quality. He didn’t talk about to Nico Williams “because he did not say is a Barça player”, but from his marker, “Koundé, an expert defender to try to control the Athletic winger”. Finally, he mentioned Andreas Christensen as a player he clearly identified as a “defense”, but who is now. He is “at 80% and not at 100% of his body, which is what I ask of all the players is for the Flick press conference.
Raphinha’s position
“He has many positions. I don’t like to talk individually, I like to talk about the team. But Raphinha always helps us under pressure and against Valencia he made a very strong sprint.”
Lamine and its importance
“What I see from him in training is really incredible. He helps keep the ball, something very important. In Valencia we didn’t do it well.”
Nico Williams and Barça
“We have a player who is very expert in controlling him, like Koundé. Nico is not our player and I am not talking about him.”
The rival, Athletic
“They are one of the teams that have run the most kilometers in recent years. They are physically strong and have a good coach. It will be a tough game.”
Is there something missing from the template?
“I always focus on what I have. Work on what I can change and don’t think about what I don’t have. And I have a great team where we will try to win tomorrow”
Casadó and the Kimmich style
“It’s comparable physically. I saw a lot of Barça B games from last season and I liked it. I see it in training and in the games. I’m happy with the youth team. It’s amazing for the club”
Christensen and his role
“Why would I talk to him? Obviously I’m talking to him. About what we’re seeing. He’s had some problems that have forced him to train one-on-one. He’s a fantastic player, a fantastic defender. He’s it should be 100% me. At 80% we are not enough”
End of market and template
“I always say: I am happy with this team. I have spoken to most of the players and I will finish speaking to others. Everyone is ready to help the team”
Fermín and his role
“The impression is that he is ready to help. After two tournaments it is important that he rests. He is ready to help. He is not out of shape”
Dani Olmo
“It’s not my job to talk about instructions. I really like his work, he’s ready to play. I hope he’s ready for tomorrow. He’s a fantastic player. I see him in training, under pressure.”
Removal of Gundogan
“Against Valencia, I already have that question. -He wanted to help us but he changed his mind this week. I know him and I can only say good things about him. He is an amazing player and person”

FlicK: “It’s very important to have the support of the fans. It will make us stronger”
The rule in the current matter and the proper names of interest are clear: the departure of Ilkay Gündogan to City, the pending registration of Dani Olmo and the arrival of Nico Williams with Athletic.
