Flick: This is the state of the team, and our goal is to win every match
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick appeared in a press conference, to talk about tomorrow’s match against Sociedad, in the 13th round of the Spanish League.
The coach said: “ Our goal is to win. In every match, we will face Sociedad tomorrow, and I really like the way they play. They are a very tactical and intelligent team. Tomorrow's match will be exciting."
He added the team's condition:" Kuparsi trained with us and he is ready, while Lamine Yamal did specific training and we will see how he is tomorrow. Olmo has had problems since the night and with treatment I hope he will be ready tomorrow. Lewandowski is 100% and in very good condition. What amazes me is his performance in defence. No I'm thinking about giving him a rest. Frenkie de Jong is ready to play 90 minutes.
And he continued: "There are many things I am proud of. I always look at the last match and against Red Star We saw that we finished together as a team. Against Espanyol, the second half was not good because we were not good as a team. The team is playing well.”
He added: “Our idea is to play every match on a regular basis.” “One step at a time, we go step by step. This is the key. We only look back to analyze what did not go well. Everyone is focused on what is coming.”
He stressed: "Now we have to make our plan for the match tomorrow. Tomorrow's match will be complicated and difficult. It is important that we be 100% focused tomorrow. There are 3 more points at stake. We want to win."

He added: “Iñigo Martinez is performing at a distinguished level. We have a very young team and it is important that we have experienced players. The length of his contract is not important. The most important thing is his level. In the last few matches, he was amazing. He is an important player for us.”
On his strictness about punctuality: “It is a matter of respect. If you arrive five minutes late, others will have to wait for you, and this is not respectful to everyone.”
He explained: “It is not fair to compare my work to the work of Xavi Hernandez. I have great respect for him because he was As a player and coach, he gave the youth an opportunity, and we must give him credit for that, and I will continue to do so.”
He concluded: “Every match is different, and we start with a score of 0-0. Tomorrow’s match will be difficult.” “And they will play in front of their fans, and they will put pressure on us. For us, it is important that we possess the ball and follow our idea of the match. It is better to have the ball rather than trying to recover it, and we want more possession to have more opportunities.”
