🚨🎙️| Hansi Flick’s press conference ahead of today’s game against Real Valladolid:
🎙️ Flick: “Fermín is an 8 or a 10. He’s got a great quality, he arrived a little later and that’s one of the reasons he hasn’t started yet. Gonna be a long season and he showed us what he does right. He has to accept that at the moment he may not be a starter but he can certainly be in the starting eleven. ”
🚨🎙️| Hansi Flick’s press conference before tomorrow’s match against Real Valladolid:
🎙️ Flick: “Fermín can play as an 8 or a 10. He has great quality, but he joined us a bit late, which is why he hasn’t started yet. It will be a long season, and although he has shown his strengths, he must understand that he might not start every game right now, though he could be in the lineup.”
🎙️ Flick: “We need a Busquets-type player. We’ve seen potential in Marc Bernal, but we need to find a replacement. Marc Casadó or Eric could fill this role, as they understand our style of play, and they will get their chances. I have full confidence in them.”
🎙️ Flick: “I hope Frenkie doesn’t require surgery.” He’s recovering, training well, and making progress. We’ll see how it develops. The medical team has done a great job, and we’ll reassess after the break.”
🎙️ Flick: “I remind the players to be fully engaged from the start, not to wait 10 minutes to get into the game.” It’s crucial to be confident and at 100% right from the whistle. This is central to our team’s approach and performance.”
🎙️ Flick: “The team has a fantastic atmosphere and the right attitude.” After the win at Vallecas and Bernal’s injury, I saw strong support from his teammates, which makes me proud and shows the team’s mentality. We can only succeed with this kind of mindset.”
🎙️ Flick: “I work with what I have.” Jonathan Tah is not part of the team, despite the rumors. I focus on the players available to me. Tomorrow we have 18 players ready, which is sufficient, though not ideal.”
🎙️ Flick: “Eric’s primary position is center-back, but it’s beneficial to have players like Rapha who can cover multiple positions.” The team’s success is what matters, not individual roles.”
🎙️ Flick: “Yes, Eric Garcia will remain with us.”
🎙️ Flick: “To replace Marc Bernal, we will use Marc Casadó and Eric Garcia.”
🎙️ Flick: “We have two options for Bernal: Casadó or Eric. Eric will likely play more defensively, but he is performing well in that role too.”
🎙️ Flick: “I don’t focus on the transfer market.” I’m satisfied with the team. Bernal was exceptional in the game against Rayo and will be missed due to his remarkable performances at just 17.”
🎙️ Flick: “It’s a long season, and my focus is on our team and performing well.” We’re training effectively, having rested yesterday and resumed training today for the upcoming game.
🎙️ Flick: “We’ll determine our Champions League opponents on Saturday. For now, my focus is on tomorrow’s match.”
🎙️ Flick: “Marc Bernal is an outstanding player.” His performance at 17 is exceptional, and he will be greatly missed.”
🎙️ Flick: “If Real Madrid is struggling, that’s not my concern. I’d rather focus on our team.”
