The German coach Hans Flick expressed his great satisfaction after his team Barcelona's victory over Real Oviedo with a score of 3-1, pointing out that the team handled the pressure well and benefited from the changes during the match.

Flick said about the match events: "We had many chances in the first half, I told the players that we should remain calm and be confident in playing well with the ball, I think we succeeded in that, and the changes were beneficial, especially with Frenkie and especially with Lewandowski."

He pointed to the importance of set pieces in matches: "Set pieces are always an important part of the game, today Oviedo's defense was very good, they prevented many balls and had a deep defensive line."

Defending Juan Garcia, Flick said: "This is the style we want, the mistake is just a result of this style, we want him to play like this in every match, but this is something that can always happen, Juan is a great goalkeeper, and everyone makes mistakes, this is football, the important thing is that we regained control and won in the end."

Flick praised the performance of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo, saying: "He defends very well and I am happy for him, he is a leader and I am confident that this will be a big step for him to gain more confidence, this season he has shown significant improvement compared to last season, Pau and Inigo played many matches together last season and knew each other well, the important thing is that we have a high-class defender, extremely confident, and this gives us many options."

When asked about the controversy with Luis de la Fuente, Flick simply said: "No problem, I can handle that," concluding the topic with a sense of humor and without a desire to be the center of off-field issues.

When asked about the derby match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, he said: "I will watch it from home," adding that the team is now focused on preparing for the upcoming match against Real Sociedad at the Montjuic Stadium.
