The German coach of FC Barcelona, Hans Flick, analyzed his team's victory over Real Sociedad with a score of 2-1 in the seventh round of La Liga, expressing his great happiness with the three points the team achieved. Flick explained that La Liga is long and that the current lead is temporary, emphasizing that focus will shift from tomorrow to the match against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Regarding the victory and the team's performance, Flick said: "It was a collective match, the team knew how to play, and the work was hard, but we deserved the win."

About Real Sociedad's defensive style, he added: "They were defending low, so we had to adjust our movements and keep the players moving continuously."

Flick praised the return of Lamine Yamal, confirming: "It's great to have Lamine back, everyone saw how good he is, the whole team performed excellently, even though we had only 68 hours of rest since the last match, which is amazing for all the players who gave their best."

Regarding Pedri and Frenkie de Jong, he stated: "Pedri is a special player and is developing to become a better leader, he is amazing and shows up everywhere on the pitch, giving us control of the ball. With De Jong, the team organized itself excellently, this relationship makes the pressure on us harder and gives us control and creates spaces."

Flick clarified the role of the rising player Drew: "Drew is a very talented player and is important for Barcelona, it's great to have players like him to manage playing minutes, everyone is trying to present the best version of themselves, and that's what we need especially with the number of matches."

About the current lead, Flick said: "The lead is good but it's a long road, we have to continue doing our job, being at the top temporarily puts pressure on the competitors, including Real Madrid and those behind us, we have to defend this position."

Regarding the fans, he said: "The communication between the team and the fans is excellent, we need this support also before facing Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, now we only have two days to rest before the match."

Flick praised Lamine Yamal's performance, confirming: "I am very happy with his return, he has proven to be an exceptional player, it's great to have him with us again."

About the Ballon d'Or: "The decision regarding the Ballon d'Or is not in our hands to change, but next year I think he will try to win it, for all players, this is a great achievement, and we have many players who can achieve it."
