Barcelona was not at their best against Alaves, but they still found a way to win a narrow 1-0 win at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company. It was still a deserved victory in front of Hansi Flick, who continues their strong start until 2025 in all competitions.
According to Diario As, Flick assessed the 90 minutes, while he also confirmed how he managed to improve the performance of the team after a gloomy first half.
“It was a difficult match, with hard work. They are three important points in the situation in which we were in La Liga, also in view of the result of Real Madrid yesterday. (During the break) We showed them the spaces that we could attack, where we had to hold positions and where we had to be more precise. The second half was better. “
Flick also confirmed that Gavi, who was replaced early after an annoying collision of heads with Tomas Conechny from Alaves, is great.
“He's fine. That he went on was neither my decision nor that of Gavi, but that of the doctor. He told him that he could not continue to play and he must respect that. And this must be taken care of. '
In the result, Barcelona moves in four points of the La Liga -Top, following the defeat of Real Madrid in Espanyol on Saturday. Flick admitted that he had not viewed any procedures at the Stage Front Stadium, because his focus is only on his team.
“To be honest, I didn't watch the Real Madrid game. The last few days have been stressful and the best against stress is to go to bed early. And in the morning I saw the WhatsApp and something that I was sent; And indeed, this had happened. But we have to look at our own. And I knew it would be difficult today. But yes, yes. You can ask my wife. I slept. After the match against Atalanta I had only slept for two or three hours.
“Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid are fantastic teams. But what we have to do is look at ourselves. We have to put pressure on them, but we have to look at ours. This is not how I want to train, look at others, but focus on ourselves. '
