In the early hours of September 26, after leading his team to a 1-0 victory over Getafe and securing a seventh consecutive league win, Barcelona coach Flick expressed satisfaction with the team’s performance: “I am proud of the team’s performance; they gave it their all throughout the game.”
Regarding Getafe’s defense, Flick said: “I was reminded that this is common when facing Getafe due to their excellent defensive capabilities. My players fought for the entire 95 minutes. I am proud of their efforts and also grateful to the fans who knew we needed their support on the field.”
Talking about opportunities in the match, Flick stated: “We had one chance to score, and so did the opposition, but they failed to break through.”
On the style of play, Flick pointed out: “Getafe’s defense was very solid, and the team was tightly organized. This was indeed a challenge for us. Sometimes our attacking pace wasn’t fast enough. However, we eventually scored a goal and won three valuable points.”
Regarding Yamal’s performance, Flick said: “He displayed versatility on the field, which the audience loved. This affection was evident in the stands. We must protect him and other players. This is also the responsibility of the referees.”
On the issue of bringing in a goalkeeper, Flick said: “I only talk about the players I have, and Inaki is our goalkeeper. Today, I am very happy. We secured another three points. Inaki is 25 years old, and the others are very young. If anything happens, we need an experienced older goalkeeper. Deco and I have discussed and thought about this, and we are working on it.”
