Flick: We are thinking about rotation, and this is the case of Rafinha

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

The coach said: “Your harmony with... Fast players? We have a great group from an athletic standpoint, they have a great mentality, and they train well. Training Barcelona is a wonderful and privileged thing,” he added: “We are thinking about rotation,” but we are. We also need experienced people like Rafinha and Lewandowski. We will see what happens with Inigo Martinez. We will see what happens until tomorrow.”

He continued: “Frenkie de Jong is in good condition. As is the case with Javi, De Jong is close to returning to play with us, but he still needs more time. The situation will be evaluated next week.”

And about not training. Rafinha with the team today: “We are evaluating the players, and it is good for some players not to train on the grass. We will evaluate his condition tomorrow, and if he trains with us tomorrow, he will be ready to play.”

He continued about Vinicius and Endrik not being sent off against Alaves: “I focus only on my team players, I do not focus on Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid. Right now, I want to beat Osasuna. I can't change anything else."

And he said: "Rest Conde? Koundé is a great player, and after every match he goes to practice. He is a professional player and takes good care of his body, and always strives to develop and improve himself. We will see what happens with his rest.”

He concluded:” Are you the right man to coach Barcelona? You have to ask the players. Credit also goes to the technical staff and the group of experts surrounding the players. There is also the wonderful atmosphere between the players, and the trust we give them, the important thing is that everyone feels at home.”
