Hansi Flick reacts to Mourinho links, gives surprise Benfica reply | OneFootball

Hansi Flick once again addressed the possibility of coming up against José Mourinho in Spain, at a time when the Portuguese coach continues to be linked with Real Madrid, despite still being under contract with Benfica. After Barcelona’s defeat to Valencia (3-1) in the latest La Liga matchday, the German manager was asked about the possible arrival of the "Special One" in the Spanish league and appeared completely unfazed by that scenario.

"Am I ready to face José Mourinho? Of course I am, he is a coach like any other. I am always ready to face any coach", Flick said in a press conference, in a direct response that quickly began to spark reactions in Spain.

Before that, the Barcelona manager had already sent a clear warning to the squad for next season, stressing that he expects maximum focus after the World Cup. "Next season will be tougher and I want everyone 100% focused. Now we can go to the World Cup or go on holiday and rest, but what matters is Barça", he explained.
