Flick: The Result Does Not Reflect the Performance, and I Do Not Want to Waste My Energy Commenting on the Refereeing
Hans Flick, the head coach of FC Barcelona, expressed his frustration following his team's loss to Real Sociedad, while also affirming his satisfaction with the overall performance of the players despite some defensive lapses.
Flick said: "I am disappointed with the result, but I am happy with what the team delivered, except for some moments when we needed to defend better. The team created many chances that were not converted into goals."
He continued: "We created many opportunities, but the result does not reflect what we saw on the field. There are days when you put in a lot of effort, and in the end, luck is not on your side."
He added, "I told the players after the match that we were not fortunate, and now we need to focus on the upcoming game. Improving some defensive details remains part of the ongoing development process."
The Barcelona coach continued talking about Frenkie de Jong's comments on the refereeing, saying: "I agree with de Jong, but I don't want to waste my energy on this matter. We need to close the chapter on the match and focus on what lies ahead."
