The El Clasico preparations are almost complete, and Hansi Flick’s press conference revealed some crucial insights today. He gave a few words on his tactical approach and mindset, emphasizing teamwork and learning from previous mistakes. Here’s a closer look:
Flick’s Confidence in Gavi: A Key Player in the Super Cup Final
Flick spoke highly of Gavi’s recent performances, especially his match-winning performance against Bilbao. The German acknowledged Gavi’s versatility to the team and his ability to adapt to multiple roles. He said:
“Gavi performed at a great level in the last match. He brings different elements to the team. I think Gavi will play.”
Gavi’s work ethic, energy, and flair make him a significant asset for the Blaugrana. The coach’s hint that Gavi will start tomorrow is great news, as the youngster will provide the team with an edge against Madrid.
Flick’s Message to the Team
Flick’s message to the Barca players was crystal clear. He said the external noise must be ignored, and unity should be the team’s focal point. Despite a few issues, the team has had a decent season overall.
Flick highlighted the importance of learning from each match and maintained that discipline is important for moving forward. The coach basically wants a more consistent performance from the team. It will be key that Barca remains cohesive under pressure, as tomorrow, the players’ focus and mentality will be tested.
Will Araujo Feature?
Despite Ronald Araujo’s transfer rumors, Flick seemed focused on tomorrow’s match and stressed the Uruguayan’s importance. He praised his return from his severe injury and said that Ronald Araujo is a key element of his defensive setup.
While Flick’s priority is to have Araujo at his best, some reports suggest that Ronald does not want to feature against Real Madrid, Which is quite worrying. If true, it is genuinely unprofessional and unexpected from the Uruguayan.
Flick’s Tactical Preparations
Flick’s insights regarding his tactics revealed a focus on minimizing errors. He admitted that the previous Bilbao clash has revealed a few areas of improvement, especially in transitions. The German knows that Los Blancos are one of the best teams at exploiting defensive errors and wants to learn from past mistakes,
This approach by Hansi stresses more on team performance rather than individual brilliance. It’s good to see that he aims for a collective effort to win tomorrow’s shot at silverware.
Let’s hope for the best and wish Barca the best. We all believe in Flick’s Barca!
