Hansi Flick praises Barcelona's hunger and ambition after a solid game

A satisfied Hansi Flick. For the result and for the goals, but, above all, for the ambition of his team. "I see the hunger in my players, they always want more, even the world champions. It was a fantastic game, although we are only at the beginning of a long road. I am very happy with how the team is, which is young and to which we have added great signings."

The German coach emphasized the competition that exists between his players, the fact that they all want to be there. "I see, for example, Dani Olmo, who is not happy when he is not a starter, but when he came on he did very well, and that is what it is about. I always make decisions for the benefit of the team," said the Barcelona coach.

He knows that this year he has a lot to choose from and on this occasion he gave the first start to Rodri, whom he applauded. "I am very happy to have Rodri with us, everything he does on the field helps the team, both with the ball and without the ball. But Marc Bernal is also very important. With Rodri we can improve, he is a leader on the field and in the locker room," said Flick.

Pedri was next to Rodri. "It is said that we have not worked well together but it is very comfortable to play with Rodri, he barely loses balls. We are going to understand each other better and better," said the Canary Islander, who underlined the team's efficiency in achieving goals. "All fans like to have a striker who scores 40 goals but we have many players capable of scoring. This year we will not lack a goal," claimed the Canary Islander.

Let them tell Raphinha, with six goals, or Fermín and Lamine, both with four already in the League. “Lamine could play, he is very connected, he played a great game,” said Flick, who also appreciated Fermín's game. "He has a lot of energy, intensity, from area to area, he scores goals, he presses, he always tries to recover the ball. Sometimes he has to control the ball more, but he is still young, but his strength is intensity. Sometimes he makes mistakes but he is doing fantastically well."

If the attack works, so does the defense. “That we have kept a clean sheet again says that we are very focused and without relaxing,” said Gerard Martín. Everything is going smoothly at Barça.
