Flick warns: Some players aren't happy, but they must... | OneFootball

Hansi Flick spoke at a press conference ahead of Barcelona vs Feyenoord.

On whether they will win the Champions League

"I think that, in the end, the big clubs dream of this. We have the quality to win it, but the road is long."

Is the Champions League an obsession?

"We have many experienced players. They all have the responsibility to win everything. Not everything is easy after winning the four matches. There are players who are not happy, but every day you have to show that your moment has come. Our level is the one we show in training."

Leadership within the team

"Now it seems like yes, everything is going well, but although I see a lot of quality and intensity, I also see commitment to an idea and communication. We have to stay together on the pitch to fight better, to help each other. Everyone is here for that and I’m seeing it."

The standard of refereeing

"This is not my job. The standard of refereeing is very good in La Liga and in the Champions League, and I have nothing to say to them. It’s not always easy for them. I try to stay calm with them and support them."  

The value of La Liga

"Of course it has value. It is also our dream to win the third consecutive league title, we work for that, and that is special."   

The atmosphere in the dressing room and those who do not play

"It is not easy to maintain it all the time because I have to decide who starts and who does not. But that is our job. I always try to speak with the players, especially those who do not play. You have to be positive and help each other, whether you play or not."  

Lamine Yamal will be key

"Of course. He can decide matches on his own. And he loves improving day by day. He is enjoying himself, also in the new role of captain. That is important for him to reach his highest level."  

Gordon’s adaptation

"As a forward he wants to score goals, create chances and provide the final pass. That is also very important. The goals will come. I am very happy with his performance in defense and attack."  

The style

"We adapt to the opponent if necessary. It has given us good results. We struggled against Atlético. But you need all the players to be doing well. We have to continue along the same lines as in the four matches."

Bisiwu

"He will not be in the squad tomorrow. He has trained well. He will train with us, but he will play with Barça B. He has potential in defense and attack."

A Barça Ballon d'Or?

"Of course, we have many fantastic players and I would be very happy if one of them wins the Ballon d'Or. That is not my job. What matters is attitude and mentality day by day. Several of them can win it."
