Flick: We are happy for Olmo and Victor, and that is why Szczesny is involved

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick appeared in a press conference, after qualifying for the Spanish Super Cup final, by defeating Athletic Bilbao with two unanswered goals.

The coach said: “ I know you always look at Lamine Yamal, but we have a team, we have to take care of him because he helped us get the win. He was coming off an injury and we had to replace him after 60-65 minutes, and I'm very happy with the way he played We did it."

He added: "Dani Olmo and Pau Victor are very happy, but the whole team is happy too. For us it was a good sign right before the match, because everyone wanted to show up We are a united team and this is a victory for them as well. I don’t want to talk about the past. We have to move forward and I hope this will benefit us in the future.”

He continued: In the first part of the season We performed very well, but we have a team full of young people And the most important thing is, we have a lot of young players. For us, this is the way we play. They are young, but they have a lot of experience. They played in the Spanish League and in Europe and I think they are used to environments that impose pressure. We are playing very well.”

He continued: “We have now played two matches and have not conceded any.” A goal."

Regarding Szczesny's participation in place of Peña: "Szczesny played and Iñaki was on the bench. This was our decision."

Press reports had claimed that Peña was going to start instead of Szczesny, but the coach punished him after he was late for the refresher course before the match.
