Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has mixed feelings about his team’s 4-3 win over Real Madrid in El Clásico.
He praised his players for their mental toughness but acknowledged the need for defensive improvement.
The German coach said, “We’ll have to check my heart rate.
It’s easy to say our tactic is to score four if we concede three.
We need to improve defensively.
When we press, things go well, but when we make a mistake, it gets complicated.”
Flick highlighted Ferran Torres’ impressive performance and Robert Lewandowski’s return from injury.
Pau Cubarsí also played well despite being substituted.
The team showed a strong mentality, bouncing back from a 0-2 deficit.
Flick mentioned that the four El Clásico wins were a result of the team’s defined goals, including winning trophies.
Bouncing Back
The coach emphasized the team’s strong mentality and attacking style.
The fans and club are happy, but Flick isn’t getting ahead of himself.
“We’re in a good position, but we need three more points.
All opponents want to beat us,” he said.
He wasn’t nervous in the final minutes, but there was a lot of emotion on the bench.
Flick hopes to reduce mistakes and improve overall performance.
Lamine Yamal’s 17-year-old talent was crucial in the comeback.
Flick praised Yamal’s intelligence and focus, saying he helped the team refocus after their Tuesday game.
The team’s potential is great, and they’re working to be better every day.
Room for Improvement
Flick’s comments came after a thrilling win that showcased the team’s attacking flair.
The coach knows they need to work on their defense to be champions.
The team’s current form is promising, but Flick is aware that there’s still much to be done.
The focus now shifts to their next challenge, with the goal of finishing the season with three trophies.
Key areas to improve include defensive solidity and minimizing errors.
By addressing these, Barcelona can take a significant step towards achieving their goals.
