Barcelona is currently top of La Liga, but they can fall to third place in the rankings by the time they take on Sunday evening Real Sociedad. Title Rivals Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are both in action on Saturday, and they can exert the pressure on the Catalans prior to their competition in the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Company.
La Real has had a difficult season so far, but this makes little difference for Hansi Flick. According to MD, he still expects to get a very tough opponent on Sunday. He also confirmed that there will be changes from the side that went 4-4 against Atleti in the Copa del Rey earlier this week, although he refused to give an exact number or in particular to refer to players.
“Real Sociedad is a great team. They defend well, but with the ball they are great players. We must be ready for tomorrow. We need fresh legs and we will make changes, but I will not say what changes I will make. “
Flick has confirmed that he does not consider the last meeting between Barcelona and La Real, who saw a 1-0 victory for the Basque Giants in November.
“We are focused on the next game. We are optimistic and we are at a better time. Now we have to prove it. We are not afraid of an opponent and we have to concentrate on our work. “
During his press conference for the game, Flick also gave his Barcelona players for the work they have done so far this season.
“A lot has happened this season. The team always surprises us. It is impressive. In the last few games we only had one training session and the team did very well. There are no excuses, you have to concentrate on every game. We can't choose with this calendar, we have to accept it. We will put on fresh legs and give everything. We are in three games and we will fight for the three titles. When the season started, nobody expected this. The team did well. “
