Hansi Flick, who when asked about his state of mind rhetorically asked “what is the result?”, mainly emphasized that “for us it is very important after the great victory in the Super Cup to see if how the team came back.” We travel, we don’t train on Monday, and after only one training session it was great to see the performance from the beginning.” He described the return to LaLiga as a “challenge”, recalled that “we go game by game” and made of references to a series of proper names.
He emphasized the team’s play and said that “it was great to see how we did it.” Regarding the position of Dani Olmo, he explained that “he knows how to play perfectly as a ‘nine, he has done it in the national team. We have discussed it. Lewandowski is not an option and we want to try it. The plan has gone well, and you can see that the distance between the players has been perfect”. He later clarified that Lewandowski was not hurt and it was just a matter of “giving him a rest.”
After some statements by Gavi in which he said that Lamine Yamal “is the best in the world after Messi” and asked if he agreed, Flick said “Gavi is very emotional”, although he ended up saying that “yes, my answer is yes.” “In big games you can see how good the talents are, we’ve seen it in many games, but we have to take care of it.”
He also praised Pedri: “He’s everywhere. In the middle of the field these lads from La Masia (Pedri is mistakenly referred to as from the quarry) it’s incredible to see how they understand the game and how how they are combined. He is one of the players who performs in all the games, he travels a lot of kilometers and does a lot of things in the center of the field, he is very good.
And about Araujo he commented that “he has a contract for a year and a half and I have never doubted that he will be here. I am very happy to have him and we have seen how the fans celebrated his return.”
As for Gavi, he explained that “what I like about him is that he is always present, he always presses and wins important duels. And he also knows how to play with the ball. I am very happy.”
He considered that “De Jong has taken a step in the right direction, he is very happy” and about the dismissal of Ansu he commented that “we have less injuries, more fit players and it is not easy for him. He needs to train and show us that he is improving”.
