Coach Hans Flick, the head coach of Barcelona, spoke about the current situation of the team before facing Valencia in the fourth round of the Spanish league, emphasizing the need for players to focus on the team's interests and work to the best of their abilities.

Flick said about the players' performance: "There are things happening on the pitch or in the locker room, and it is my job to solve them. I want everyone to focus on the team's interests; they know what they need to do. The difference between good and excellent is that everyone is in the right place and presses effectively. If a player gives only 50 or 60% of his effort, that is not enough. The fans deserve 100% from every player, and that is what has made us win titles."

Regarding playing time, he added: "I cannot change things related to playing time; that is the responsibility of La Liga and the referees. It is not easy, but it is changeable, but that is not my job."

About the small size of Johan Cruyff Stadium: "I spoke with the players and the captain, and they assured me that the size of the pitch will not affect them. When we play at Camp Nou with 105,000 fans, the situation will be different, but that is not an excuse; Valencia plays on the same pitch, and we played against Como here and won."

On Lamine Yamal's health condition: "He is suffering from groin pain and not back pain. He underwent tests and will not be available against Valencia, and his participation against Newcastle is uncertain."

Regarding Rafinha and Ronald Araujo: "I think both are in good condition and at a high level."

On Thiago Alcantara's return, he confirmed: "I am happy with his return, and everyone is too. It was not easy to convince him, but Julio helped a lot. He is a source of experience and will join the coaching staff where the young players listen to him with interest and will be an important part of achieving success."

About Gavi: "He can be the heart of the team and gives everything on the pitch and for the club. He had concerns after the serious injury, and I think he needs to work hard and see his development without pressure. We need him to be confident in his health."

On De Jong and Marc Bernal: "They will not be available, but Bernal will be on the bench. The next step is for him to be ready to play. I want to see him on the pitch, and tomorrow will be an important day for him, and he needs to be taken care of."

About his relationship with the Spanish national team and Lamine Yamal: "He played 73 and 79 minutes. I have only communicated with the coach via text messages; my Spanish is weak, and his English is too. Communication needs improvement. I was a coach, and I know how difficult it is, but good communication is essential."

On adapting to Johan Cruyff Stadium: "The situation does not affect us. I spoke with the president, and he explained it to me, and I trust that it will not affect the team. We must win without excuses. In the last three away games, I have not seen the team at the required level, but the quality of the players is good. It is about attitude and spirit, and the most important thing is the team, not a specific player. We have a wonderful audience, and I love working for this club. The season will be tougher, but we continue to fight to gather points."

On Lamine Yamal's absence: "His absence is unfortunate; he played with the national team while suffering from pain, which affected his training between matches. This does not reflect the concern for players; the national team has the best players, but we must take care of the youth. This worries me."
