Hansi Flick was very angry at the end of the match against Celta because of the performance shown by his team in the final stages of the match which deprived him of the victory that Barcelona had secured: “It wasn’t just ten minutes. “We really played a bad game today,” said coach Culé.
Regarding the action which marked the change in the scenario of the match following the expulsion of Marc Casadó in the 81st minute and which made Celta confident in their return, Flick did not consider changing the youngster who was cautioned at any time: “It’s not possible to replace a player after seeing a yellow card. “We made a lot of mistakes and we lacked confidence with the ball,” he said.
Regarding Gavi’s appearance in the starting XI, Flick assured that “his mentality is good for the team. Our goal is for him to play ninety minutes, but we have to take it step by step.
Finally, the Barça coach was also asked about the possible second yellow card that Gerard Martín could have received in the first half in two actions in which the expulsion was at stake and which caused the indignation of the whole Balaídos: “It’s not my job, I also have to focus on my team,” Flick said.
