Barcelona's head coach, Hansi Flick, analyzed his team's dominant 5-0 victory over Valencia. Here's what the German tactician had to say on various topics:
On the Match
It was fantastic. We dominated the game from the very beginning. We controlled and dictated play. That's what I want to see.
On the Goals
For me, the three points are the most important thing, but we have quality on the pitch. We can attack well against deep-lying defenses, especially in this heat.
On the Forwards
Nothing has changed. We have a lot of quality in attack, as well as in midfield. I'm happy that Pedri scored. We have the quality to create chances, and that's a good thing.
On the Squad
We have many high-class players, and I have to manage that. It's not easy. In football, things change very quickly. I'm very pleased with Olmo's minutes; he always wants more. And he delivers, coming off the bench and making the best decisions for the team.
On Fermín López
He brings a lot of intensity both inside and outside the box. He wins balls. Sometimes he makes mistakes, but he's doing very well.
On Rodri
We are happy to have him in our team – for what he does with the ball and for the team. But I also want to highlight the good work of Marc Bernal. He is improving. Rodri is incredible not only on the field but also in the locker room. He is a leader.
On the Yellow Cards
Cubarsí's first yellow card was deserved. That's how it is, and we have to accept it. The referee had a great game.
On Improving Play
Even after going 5-0 up, we continued to attack, attack, and attack. I want us to control games more. We need to conserve energy. We can always improve; nothing is ever perfect.
On Lamine Yamal
He trained yesterday and had no issues. This morning we spoke, and he told me he could play and felt good.
