Flick: The Win Against Frankfurt Reflects the Team's Mentality, Yamal Understands the Substitution
German coach Hans Flick spoke after Barcelona's 2-1 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in the sixth round of the Champions League group stage, emphasizing the importance of the win and the difficulty of the match against a fast and dynamic team.
Flick commented on Lamine Yamal's substitution: "He felt a little disappointed, but he had a yellow card and we needed fresh legs, this is not a problem, I understand him, everyone wants to play and he believes he can play 100 minutes. He is young and has a good attitude."
He added about the match: "Their style did not surprise me, the Champions League is different, Eintracht is a fast team and very dynamic, as we saw in their goal. I am proud of the team's performance, it was important to have Marcos because he gave us a cross and widened the field. We scored two goals this way, and this is part of football."
He continued about Koundé's performance: "I did not expect that, but Koundé's mentality is very important for us. I am very happy that we were able to come back in the match. The players know what to do, and I congratulate the coaching staff on their work."
Regarding the win and the important three points: "I am happy, these are three important points, we came back, the match was not easy and we created many chances."
On focusing on the future: "I am not paying attention to our current position, right now we have to focus on ourselves and collect the remaining six points. Goal difference is important, but we play match by match."
He added about the comeback: "I am happy about the comeback, as it shows the team's mentality, attitude, and competitiveness. We did not give up. However, it would have been better if we had started the match by scoring one or two goals. Eintracht defended well and it was not easy to create chances."
About the midfield and field changes: "We made changes in the second half to increase the intensity of play. Rafinha was everywhere and gave an intense performance. Playing at Camp Nou is wonderful, and the crowd gives us the extra support we need."
