The head coach of FC Barcelona, Hans Flick, expressed his happiness with his team's performance during the victory over Elche in the eleventh round of La Liga, praising the collective level and high pressure the players maintained throughout the match, emphasizing that the most important thing was to achieve victory and collect the three points.

Flick said in his statements after the match: "I am very happy with the team, I liked the intensity and pressure we applied, and I appreciate Elche, they played a good match."

He added: "We performed better than in previous matches, we pressed as one team, and we controlled the ball well. The first goals came as a result of this pressure, and that pleased me a lot. The most important thing today is the win and collecting the three points against a good team. We pressed hard and could have scored more goals, as could they. Step by step, that's what matters most."

The German coach continued: "I saw positive things and others that need improvement. We must continue to work and develop. We faced an opponent who likes to possess the ball, we pressed them, scored, and created many chances, but we didn't capitalize on all of them."

Regarding Pedri's absence, Flick said: "The most important thing today is the win. Everyone knows that Pedri is an exceptional player, and we always want him around, but we must manage his condition carefully. The other players performed well, yet we can improve even more."

Flick praised the attacking duo of Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres, saying: "Marcus is an amazing player, and Ferran has provided wonderful moments. I am very happy with both of them, and the last two training sessions were among the best this season."

He also commented on the goals conceded by the team: "If both teams had capitalized on their chances, the match would have ended 6-2 or 5-2. Today was a new step forward, and we have two matches before the international break, and we aim to win both, the first against Bayern Munich in the Champions League."

Flick concluded his statements by discussing the condition of Lamine Yamal, saying: "We must manage his injury carefully; he is very disciplined, training and receiving treatment as he should. It's not accurate to say that the injury has completely ended; it comes and goes, and we need to handle it well."
