Barcelona coach Hansi Flick appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow’s confrontation against Real Valladolid, in the fourth round of the Spanish League.

The coach said: “ I ask. I want the players to be ready as soon as they enter the field and not wait 10 minutes for a reaction. I want the players to be present on the field with 100% concentration. This is what I always expect from them and it is essential and necessary.”

He added: “I never focus on the transfer market. I am happy with the team. In the last match, Bernal played an amazing match. We will miss him because he was performing wonderfully while he was still 17 years old.”

He continued: “Will Eric Garcia stay? Yes, I can confirm that. Bernal’s replacement? We have two options and I think it is clear that we have Mark Casado, and Eric Garcia, who also played in this position.”

On Real Madrid’s start in the league: “The season will be long and I don’t care much about the current situation. I’m focusing on Barcelona and I hope we can perform well again tomorrow. We prepared well.” We are looking forward to the match against Real Valladolid. We are ready.”

And he continued: “Eric Garcia’s center?” His natural position is centre-back, but it is good that we have players who can play in several positions. Eric will have to play more as a pivot this season.”

And about signing Jonathan Tah: “There is a rumor in football. Tomorrow we will have a starting lineup and 5 substitutions. The issue is knowing the players I have available. Tomorrow we will have 18 players.”

And he added: “ I hope Frenkie de Jong doesn't need surgery. I hope he will be with us after the international break.”

He concluded: “Fermin Lopez joined later than the rest of the players, and this is the reason why he did not participate from the beginning. The season is long.” Very much, and when he participated, he showed what he could do. It is true that he was not a starting player, but he has the quality to be in the starting lineup.”
