Hansi Flick, in the preview of the match against Levante, reaffirms his commitment to the young players of Barça and positively values the impact of Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford at the start of the season.

Flick, the mentor who doesn't listen to shouting

In an era where the spotlights burn more than they illuminate, Hansi Flick has decided to look with a magnifying glass instead of a loudspeaker. In the press conference prior to FC Barcelona's match against Levante, the German coach did not hand out empty headlines, but rather confidence. And he did so by pointing to several key names in his dressing room. Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres and Marcus Rashford were the protagonists of an appearance that felt like a declaration of principles: minutes are not given away here, but talent is not destroyed with suspicions either.

No one moves: Casadó and Fermín stay

The transfer market continues its dance of rumors, but Flick doesn't want anyone to get off the boat. When asked about Marc Casadó, he was blunt:
"I've spoken to him and he doesn't want to leave. And I want him to stay."

With the same clarity, he defended the continuity of Fermín López, a silent but fundamental talent:
"I'm happy with him and the rest of the players. I want to keep them all."

Pure antithesis: while other clubs throw names around like fireworks, Flick's Barça values permanence as a strategic virtue.

Lamine and the uncomfortable crown

When asked about Lamine's recent celebration —that symbolic coronation that some interpret as premature audacity— Flick was more pedagogue than prosecutor:
"I don't care what people say about my team. He's 18 years old, he's a fantastic player. I'll help him grow in the right way."

A dry, accurate answer, like a door that closes without slamming. Because Flick knows that pressure doesn't mature players, it wrinkles them. And if football is a stage, then the coach has opted for the role of silent mentor rather than shouting director.

Ferran, the striker who responds with goals

Flick, that sharp-eyed strategist, also had words for Ferran Torres, who seems to have been resurrected through effectiveness:
"He scored a goal and that's the best argument to play again."

In a Barça that constantly flirts with the idea of reinventing itself, Ferran has opted for the old recipe: score. And Flick, who values facts more than promises, knows it.

Rashford, the English arrow that points to the starting eleven

Then came the name of Marcus Rashford, a brand new Barça addition and a dizzying promise:
"He gives us more options, he feels better as a '11', but his speed, his first touch... helps us a lot. We can enjoy a fantastic Rashford this season."

An optimistic statement or a tactical warning? Perhaps both. The truth is that Flick sees in the Englishman not only a resource, but a tool to shape a style of play that promises less doctrinal possession and more surgical aggression.

A season of endurance, not speed

Flick closed his speech with a phrase that, without intending to, sums up his entire philosophy:
"It will be a tough season and we need all the players."

In a world where success is measured by immediate applause, Flick is betting on the long term. Like a German gardener who, instead of uprooting flowers, waters them with patience.
