Flick: It's Not Worth Responding to Perez, and I Feel Frustrated

Hans Flick, the coach of Barcelona, spoke about his team's match against Deportivo Alaves in the 36th round of the Spanish League, which ended with the Catalan team's defeat by a score of 1-0.

Flick said: "Today I saw the team motivated and they did good things. I gave minutes to players who participated less. In the first half, we controlled the match, but they are fighting to stay in the first division. We tried to control the play, but offensively we were not as we have been at other times. We wanted to win, but it was not possible. We will not achieve the 100-point league."

He added: "We tried to control the play, but offensively we were not as we have been at other times."

He continued about Alvaro Cortes: "He performed very well and was good against top attackers. I saw him confident with the ball. I have seen him over these months giving his all in training and he deserves to play."

Speaking about La Masia players, he said: "The players love Barcelona and want to play here, and the coaches also want to be in Barcelona. There is a special connection between La Masia players, and this is great."

Regarding Florentino Perez's statement, Flick said: "It's not worth responding."

He added: "I am frustrated with the result, but we must accept it. They are playing to stay in La Liga. It was difficult for us. We need to be more focused. I commend how the young players played. Two games remain, and we want to win them."

He concluded his statements by saying: "Today we decided who will play, and we rested Juan Garcia, who is number one and will return to play."
