The FC Barcelona coach, Hansi Flick, highlighted «the fight and mentality» that his team «has shown» on Saturday to win 0-1 against CD Leganés in LaLiga EA Sports matchday 31, issues that for him «have been great» during a match at the Butarque Stadium where «it wasn’t easy to play very fast.»
«I think today it wasn’t easy to play very fast, the ball slowed down a bit. So we said we had to adapt positions, but also change sides, from side to side, etc. Of course, ball possession is very important, but I think we did that much better too. In the end, the fight and mentality that the team showed today have been great,» said Flick in a press conference after his players’ narrow victory.
«Three points are three points and that is very good for us. We return with three points and it’s perfect. We always think that every game is like Dortmund, Bayern, or Atlético. But today we fought for 94 or 95 minutes and it was incredible; and when you see the workload the players have had in the last weeks or days, it’s even more incredible,» argued the German coach of Barça.
«After the international break, what they have done. The performance of my team is incredible, I am very proud of that and I think all the fans can be very proud of them. For me, the best situation was not just the goal, the last chance of Iñigo [Martínez] was incredible; everyone celebrated that like a goal. So it’s perfect, I’m very happy and very proud of my team,» repeated the German.
Despite their advantage over Real Madrid in the title race, Flick was cautious. «As I always say, we only focus on ourselves. Three points are good, it’s good for us and I think we have had a great week. But now the focus is on recovery, that’s what I always tell the players. I think the word I use the most is ‘recovery’, ‘recovery’, ‘recovery’,» he insisted.
«So that’s it. We already said that we will arrive in Barcelona tonight, then tomorrow we will recover and train with the other guys who haven’t played as much and on Tuesday we will travel to Dortmund. These are not excuses, we only focus on our work, and I think, again, the team has been absolutely fantastic,» reiterated the blaugrana coach.
He then added that their good season «is related to the matches we have played together.» «When you have many matches and everyone knows exactly what the other is going to do, that helps a lot. I also think that everyone does their defensive work very well, which is perfect for us. I think maybe at the beginning, in November or so, we suffered more and conceded goals,» reflected the German from Butarque.
«After the winter break, it’s totally different. For me, the key moment was the league match against Atlético in Barcelona; we lost, but we played really well. And with that confidence we played well and started this year like this, and now you can see that we have that confidence. And of course, the players need a little more recovery, but that’s how it is, we can’t change it,» Flick concluded.
