Flick: We want Olmo and Viktor back, and this is the case of Yamal
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick spoke to the media after ousting Barbastro in the 32nd round of the King’s Cup with a resounding score of 0-4.
The coach said: “It is the same today.” Or in previous matches, I always think of Ansu Fati playing on the left. I prefer him to play there and not as a striker.”
He added: “Everyone wants Olmo and Pau Victor to return with us. This is the only thing we can do We say, 'We were very involved in the game. We can't do anything else. The team tried to isolate itself from these issues. You have to be professional and respond on the field.'"
Regarding Pablo Torre’s performance: “I am very happy with the level of the less-ordinary players today and the general performance of the entire team.”
He added: “Araujo returned after a severe injury. He was able to play for 90 minutes and you saw his level. He spoke on the field, and he is one of our leaders.”
He stressed: “Will Lamine be present in the Spanish Super Cup? We travel on Monday, we train on Monday in Barcelona and on Tuesday in Saudi Arabia, that's all we have before that match. I think Lamine can be there against Bilbao.”
Regarding Rafinha’s exclusion: “Rafinha had some problems, and he was training well, but we decided it was good not to take any risks.”
