The coach drew attention to lapses in concentration at the start of matches. “In recent games, the opponent almost always scores first. We need to be focused from the first minute,” said Flick, stressing that individual mistakes have been costly for the team.

Flick also provided an update on the squad. Ronald Araújo may start the match, but with limited minutes. Gavi, meanwhile, is still recovering. “He’s getting better, but the most important thing is to be patient and come back strong,” the coach said about the midfielder.

Institutional future

Asked about the club’s presidential elections, scheduled for March, Flick advocated for institutional stability to avoid negative effects on the pitch. “For the club, continuity is important. The members will decide the future,” he concluded.
