Mea culpa. During FC Barcelona's narrow victory against Girona (2-1) on Saturday, Hansi Flick's name was on everyone's lips. Not for his great tactical performance against the bottom of La Liga, the success having been obtained in the 90+3rd minute thanks to Ronald Araujo, but rather for his new bloody moves.
The German coach was initially sent off following two yellow cards received during the match. The referee didn't really appreciate being tackled from the sidelines. Note that he will automatically miss the Clasico which will be held on Sunday October 26 at 4:15 p.m. Then, he lost his nerve again, sending two arms of honor towards the pitch after the winning goal.
These uncontrolled slippages, which were not aimed ” person “
according to him, earned him strong criticism in Spain. Determined to make amends, Hansi Flick returned to this episode this Monday, at a press conference before the Champions League match against Olympiakos (Tuesday, 6:45 p.m.).
“This club made me change”
“I'm not nervous. But maybe my emotions aren't the same as beforeFlick first explained, before continuing with a very specific example. I remember when I was coach of Bayern Munich, I saw images of the match against Barcelona (8-2, quarter-final of the 2020 Champions League), showed that on the first goal, the second and the eighth I had the same reaction: people said that I never smiled! »
At the moment, I show more emotions, it's true, because this club has made me change completely. I really like this club, I give the best of myself. And I too, when I see myself in this state on television, I don't like it, and I don't want my grandchildren to see their grandfather like that. So I probably need to change my behavior. »
