Cubarsí: We succeeded in correcting first half mistakes, and this is my opinion on De Jong

Pau Cubarsí, defender of FC Barcelona, spoke about the win against Atlético, confirming that the team managed to address its mistakes during the break and delivered a better second half that allowed them to secure the three points.

Pau Cubarsí said: "We entered the first half not mentally present as we should have been, and they had a great first half, but we addressed the issues we weren't doing correctly during the break, and we delivered an excellent second half, managing to secure the win."

Regarding Hansi Flick's talk with the players at half-time, he explained: "They were coming out to face us with pressure, but we positioned ourselves better in the second half, and they no longer felt the same comfort, and we became more present in attacking areas."

Barcelona defender spoke about De Jong's participation in the full-back position, saying: "We all know the quality he possesses, and his ability to play well in all positions. He is a team player, and wherever you put him, he performs as required and shows no displeasure."

Regarding the match against Atlético as a test of FC Barcelona's capabilities, Pau Cubarsí said: "We all know the potential we have, these matches at the start of the season make you realize the state the team is in, but they do not decide titles or league championships, although they give us a positive feeling."

Regarding the gap narrowing with Real Madrid to three points, Cubarsí concluded his remarks by saying: "There have been some changes, but we are not focusing on the opponent, but on what we can do well."
