Barcelona manager Hansi Flick was reluctant to his plans for their collision with Osasuna on Saturday evening, after a tiring victory over Benfica on Wednesday evening. The Blaugrana were more than 70 minutes to ten men, but managed to come by thanks to fine performances by Wojciech Szczesny and Pedri.
Of course El Sadar was the site of the first defeat for Flick as manager of Barcelona, with 4-2 to a Rojillo inspired by Bryan Zaragoza. However, the German coach believes that this time it will be a different game at Montjuic
“It will be different because we play away, there have been many changes. It is important to have the best possible team on the field. Now we are at a different level in terms of team performance. I have a positive approach for tomorrow's game, “he explained to the press.
Flick did not give much away in terms of what changes he would make, but he wants to rotate somewhat. In particular, after having walked more than anyone else on Wednesday and reportedly being completed with Spierunomfort, some people wonder if Pedri might be.
“We have not yet decided how much we will do, but we have to do something. It is important, but for us the most important thing is to have our best possible team on the field. We are looking for that, and we will do that tomorrow. I also think we have a different level that the team can perform, and that makes me really positive about tomorrow. “
After dropping Inaki Pena for Szczesny, and with the Polish goalkeeper who made several mistakes early on, Flick was heavily criticized. But after his performance in Lisbon, Flick was invited to take the honor for his phone call.
“He did very well, just like the other players. It is his job and everything is very clear. That is why Tek is now number one. “
“If you see players how they played before, how you train, you conclude, together with what the staff says. We appreciate the performance they can offer. All coaches understood that he could reach this level. “
However, Flick has not included a complete honor for it and noted that the decision -making process is much more democratic than some think.
“I am not the man who decides everything, you know. It is not my way of working, I prefer to ask the other coaches, to give their opinion and then make a decision. Yes, of course I decide things, I am not alone. “
