Flick: I Don't Want to Talk About Real Madrid, Here's What We Focus On
Hans Flick, the coach of Barcelona, spoke at the press conference before facing their traditional rival, Real Madrid, in the Spanish league competition, and confirmed that his team's focus is on teamwork and achieving victory.
At the beginning of his talk, Flick commented on Real Madrid's crisis, saying: "I don't want to talk about Madrid because it's not my team, but from my point of view, the important thing is to work as a team."
Regarding the atmosphere in Barcelona's locker room, he said: "We have a great relationship among us, you can see the connection between La Masia players, who have known each other since they were 12 years old. We can't say we don't make mistakes, we're human and it can happen, but I'm happy with my team, we have very good communication and that's important in our work."
Concerning the importance of La Masia players, he added: "We have to take the final step tomorrow, we play to win a title, the whole team is important, but of course, the work of La Masia players, with their philosophy and mentality, helps the team. Tomorrow won't be easy, everyone will give their best, everyone is professional, and that's something I greatly appreciate in my team."
On how to deal with the absence of euphoria, he said: "As I said, we shouldn't change anything from what we've done, we've had a great season, and in recent matches, we've shown confidence, and we've done things well, and that's what we should do tomorrow too, enter the field and play the same way."
Regarding the clashes within Real Madrid, he explained: "These are things that happen all over the world, not just in Real Madrid, but I don't want to talk about this, it's not my team, it's not my club."
He added about team management: "When something happens, we all point in the same direction, things can happen, but they must be managed, that's the way."
Regarding the importance of the match for him as a coach, he said: "I know it's a special match, it's special for everyone, for the players, and for the staff, but I'm not thinking about anything else, just about delivering a great match and winning it, that's what I want to see."
On the danger of Real Madrid with or without Mbappe, he stated: "Mbappe is one of the best players in the world, he has great quality, for me, he is one of the best."
About the difference with Real Madrid, he said: "We play at home, we have a great team, and the support of our fans, El Clasico is important for everyone, for Real Madrid and Barcelona, so we want to win it."
He concluded his talk by saying about the situation of the royal club: "For me, we must focus on delivering a good match, we want to play the match and win it, that's what we need to show."
