After the victory against Guadalajara, the Barcelona coach, Hansi Flickhas analyzed his team’s victory that gave them a place in the round of 16 of the Copa del Rey. The Barça coach appeared before the press briefly, seriously, after a very demanding match.
How do you rate the attitude of your players in the game?
Playing in the Cup is not easy, but in the end the most important thing is the attitude and mentality and they have shown it.
In the end Ter Stegen played in goal. How have you handled the situation to give him ownership?
He is the captain and is very important for the team. Today there was the opportunity for him to play and I gave it to him in a competition like the Cup. I respect him. It’s one more step for him. Nothing else.
Do you think Guadalajara, a team two categories below, has played well? He fought until the end…
They are not easy games, the attitude on the field is the key to victory. We both showed it and the game was for us.
Pere Martí: “There was a moment when we could get our hands on Barcelona”
At a press conference, the Guadalajara coach valued the work of his players despite the defeat:
The result is what it is, but Dépor competed in a very dignified way…
The image does not feed us, neither I nor the players like to lose. We played a very serious game and we lacked the energy to score a goal. On the one hand happy, because it gives us a boost of energy and on the other hand, screwed.
How have you experienced the support of the public, from such a committed crowd?
It has been wonderful, with goosebumps to see how people have been plugging in. There has been a moment when we could get our hands on Barcelona. I wish it were like this every week.
What message do you convey to your team?
