The Catalans delivered a fierce performance, managing to hold on and making Ferran Torres's goal in the first period made the difference between the two teams during their semi-final. Hansi Flick said he was delighted with the performance of his team, as he declared during his post-match press conference (via Marca).
“We defended and we were very efficient. Everyone can be proud of this team, and we, the coaches, the sums. Atlético is a big team, but we have progressed a lot. It is not easy, especially here. All the players are good and we have mastered the situation. »»
Hansi Flick spoke during the 1-0 victory in Barcelona over Atlético Madrid in the semi-final return of the King's Cup.
Barcelona always hopes to end the season with a hat -trick after this victory against Atlético. If Flick recognizes that supporters and players can focus on this goal, he chooses not to do so.
“We have the right to dream, but we have to stay focused on what we want. We will arrive tomorrow morning at three or four o'clock, then we will sleep, resume training and recover. We will then face the Betis. The next few weeks will not be easy, but we have a fantastic team. The club and supporters can be proud of the team. »»
Barcelona will face Real Madrid in the King Cup final later this month, but for Flick, this tasty moment is still far away.
“I don't want to talk about the final. I focus on Betis. It's fantastic to play the Clasico, but you have to play a lot of matches. There are a lot of important things. Now it's no longer so important. »»
