Hans Flick, coach of Barcelona, spoke at the press conference ahead of his team's match against Getafe, scheduled for Sunday in the fifth round of the league competition.

He began his talk: "What stands out most about Getafe? For me, the important thing is my team. We played on Thursday, and we need to recover faster. It is important tomorrow that we have ready feet on the pitch."

He added: "How is the condition of Kobarcy? We will see tomorrow. Initially, he can be an option, either as a starter or from the bench."

Regarding the situation of Dani Olmo: "We have 27 players. This is the normal situation here. We have to decide. For me, every player is important. I am happy with this situation. There are certainly players who are not very happy about it, but this is the profession of football. For me and for the club, the most important thing is the team."

Concerning Gavi's recovery: "We hope to see him play soon. Maybe we will know more in two days. Then we will make the decision. This may not be the right time, and perhaps in another 48 hours we will know more about his condition."

On whether he prefers to return to Camp Nou or stay in Montjuïc: "This is not in my hands. I have to focus on our performance, on my team. We take it step by step, and let's see what happens."

Regarding the return of Balde and Yamal: "We are working on that. With Lamine, we have to wait, it’s day by day. I believe Balde will return soon."

About the team's change after the draw against Rayo Vallecano: "In football, as last year, many things change quickly. What is really important is that we do our job. What I want is to do my best to bring out the best in my team."

On what happened to Simeone at Anfield: "I have sometimes been in those situations, but I try to focus on the pitch. It is not nice to hear insults from outside, but I cannot talk about Simeone, because it is an experience he lived, and his feelings determine how he acts."

He continued about Marcus Rashford and his satisfaction with him: "Two goals give him confidence. Our way of playing relies on maximum sharpness, and that is what I want from him, to work hard and try to be better each time."

He concluded: "Is it possible for Yamal to win the Ballon d'Or? I don't know. One day we will see Lamine winning this award, but the winner this year will deserve it. For me, what matters is that Lamine attends the ceremony in respect of his nomination, this is very important."
