Flick: We Don't Think About Dortmund, and We Can Dream of the Treble

Barcelona's coach Hans Flick appeared at a press conference to discuss tomorrow's match against Betis in the 30th round of La Liga.

The coach said: "What do you add to the team so that the effects of rotation do not appear? I don't like to talk about myself. I have a wonderful team that helps me a lot, which allows me to focus on my mission, which is to perform well in football and provide players with ideas that help them become better players. What I see here is wonderful. I enjoy seeing our development and how the team environment is."

He added: "When we have the ball, the rhythm is excellent, but when we lose it, many teams exploit our mistakes. We need to work on reducing these errors."

He continued: "What does Laporta dream of? And what about Flick? I don't know what the president dreams of, but I hope his dreams are happy. As for me, I always think positively and want to win matches. Our goal is to achieve 15 more victories, and if we succeed, I will be happy because it will be evidence that we have had a wonderful season."

He followed: "Is La Liga limited to Barcelona and Real Madrid? No, the road is still long. There are nine rounds left, and anything can happen. There are other teams competing as well and have enough quality to win the title, not just Real Madrid and Barcelona."

He added: "Were you surprised by the players' boldness despite their young age? What we see is the result of hard work. I always tell them that their behavior is great, and the locker room is full of positivity. I love to see how they deal with pressure together. If everyone gives 100% and we play as one team, I will be satisfied. The team is the most important thing, and we proved that over the past month."

Regarding achieving the treble: "I love to dream, but we need to focus on the next match. Dreams come true through hard work, and that's what we're doing. I feel that the team has started to believe in itself. My job is to always remind them of the need to perform well and prove themselves on the field. We believe in ourselves and want to win all the championships."

He added: "We will definitely rotate tomorrow. We need to manage the physical loads, training, and matches. It is natural for us to rotate. I discuss this matter with the experts, and we make the decision together. Our full focus is on the match against Real Betis, and we are not thinking about the Dortmund match at all. We are focused on involving players with fresh legs tomorrow."

About the players' condition: "I follow daily how they sleep and how they eat. It is important for them to take care of themselves and recover well. The technical staff is doing an excellent job. Winning gives us extra confidence, and the team has started to believe in its abilities, as have the players. This is what we need to show against any opponent. But it is a difficult task because the number of matches is large."

About Gavi's condition: "We thought about involving him against Atletico, but I hesitated and decided to give him a rest. It is important for players to get playing minutes and have the right mentality. Gavi is now in good condition, and I spoke with the medical staff, and they confirmed that he is capable of playing tomorrow."

About the recent win against Atletico Madrid: "As I said before, we managed to find balance on the field. In the second half, we defended well. I am pleased that we improved in possession and applied our style of play. There is always room for improvement, but it is clear that the team currently believes in what it is doing and has enough quality to win against any team."

About tomorrow's match: "It will be a difficult match. We saw that in the King's Cup as well. The result did not reflect the course of the match. We must present our best level against them. We need to manage the players' effort, and we will see what happens tomorrow."

He concluded about tomorrow's match, which will be the third against Pellegrini: "He is doing a great job. He is a wonderful coach with great experience. He knows how to extract the best from every team he trains. He has new players, and when you see someone like Anthony, how he plays now compared to how he was before, you can clearly see the coach's impact."
