Hansi Film appeared at a press conference after the victory of Barcelona against him Valladolid (7-0) during the match of the 4th day of the EA Sports LeagueThe German coach took his new team to a plenary session that places him even more as a leader waiting to see what they will do. the real Madrid And Athleticwho will a priori be their rivals for the title.
“The team gave everything from the beginning. We have to be 100% from the referee’s whistle until the end,” Flick began. “The goal was to win all four games before the break, and we achieved that goal. The fans seem to have understood that. I’m very happy, the team too, the players are playing very well. When we go out for lunch or dinner and the fans approach us, they are always very nice to me and that gives us a lot of energy. That’s what I perceive in the team. There’s a good atmosphere, we act like a family and that makes me happy,” he said.
“When you see how the fans in the stadium are vibrating with this victory because something special has happened, the team will have more desire. The intensity has not dropped at any time and that is good. That is what makes the fans proud of the team. We come to give the best performance and that is perceived,” he added.
“It makes me proud, but we are only in the fourth game and it can change quickly. Obviously, I am happy that the fans are happy, that is one of the goals, but we have to keep going and there is a long way to go until the end of the season. After four wins, the players join their national team with more confidence. When they return, they will have to focus on Barca” warned Flick.
Flick does not want relaxation
“Before the pre-season we had already analysed everything. From top to bottom. I also have to thank Deco because they brought in many experts. Also to the medical team. It is almost a milestone, I dare say. It gives a lot of power to the players, knowing that they are in good hands and that they can play 90 minutes. We are well prepared and we already have 12 points. It is not bad, but in football things happen very quickly and can change just as quickly,” he said, warning that for the moment they have not yet achieved anything.
“It’s a process. The pre-season has started, we’re planning everything and when you have a new idea about how to play football, it’s great to win. It’s important to believe in what we want to do. Sometimes you push hard and then you back down. It’s not easy, but they’re doing it very well. The players we have are very good, they’re responding. Today, for example, we’ve seen one goal after another and I’d like every day to be like today,” he said.
“We are very happy with the performance on the pitch. I also like the fact that there is a connection with the fans, the team, the management… If we succeed on the pitch, this feeling is also transmitted to the stands and vice versa. Afterwards, people go home and say ‘we saw our idols play well’. This is important because one day we will need their support and they will surely give it to us,” he predicted.
“I have known Dani Olmo very well since Leipzig and in midfield, what he does with the ball is incredible. He offers an ideal balance between possession, attack… It’s great to have him, not to mention the transition between defense and attack. We also have Fermin Lopezwho is an excellent player and can play both positions,” he commented Daniel OlmoScorer of Barcelona’s sixth goal
