According to Diario As, FC Barcelona coach Hansi Flick reacted to defeat and admitted that his players suffered a lot after a disappointing performance at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan stadium.
“They were aggressive in the first period and we did not find an escape. I think that in the second period, we reacted. We have to focus on our mistakes and fight so that it does not happen again. »»
“I think we are a team, the injured players will return and I appreciate the reaction of the second period. We are not happy because it is difficult to lose, but I want things to happen like that. I saw players in the locker room who wanted to react, I saw them angry and I like it. »» The truce is the next step, we will come back and we will see if we can react.
Flick: The defeat against Seville is not my worst defeat as a coach of FC Barcelona
Flick was asked if this defeat could be considered the worst since he became coach of FC Barcelona in the summer of 2024.
“The most difficult was undoubtedly the semi-final in Milan (against Inter). I have to accept this defeat and see it on the right side. We must correct the weak points, in particular the errors of the first half. We did not have control over certain aspects. But it is not the most difficult defeat. »»
Flick impatient for the international break
Flick also admitted that the international truce arrives at a very favorable time for its team from FC Barcelona.
“It is good to have it, that they join the national selections, that they have a different atmosphere. It will be the positive point. And what I told them is that in their return, we will work hard to find our level. But players must also be 100 %. »»
