Hansi Flick<\/strong> has appeared in the press conference prior to the match between FC Barcelona<\/strong> and Celta de Vigo<\/strong>, corresponding to matchday 32 of LaLiga EA Sports. The match will be played this Saturday, April 19 at the Estadi Ol\u00edmpic Llu\u00eds Companys (4:15 PM) and the German coach’s intervention was clearly marked by his annoyance at the management of the calendar<\/strong>, which he blames, in part, for the team’s physical wear and tear.<\/p> Taking advantage of the question related to the Barcelona’s setback in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund (3-1)<\/a><\/strong>, Flick<\/strong> did not hesitate to express his displeasure with the planning of the matches and the calendar. “Do you know how many games we have played these two weeks? Do you know that we will have the same situation in Milan? We arrive late from trips, with players sleeping at 5:00 AM.<\/strong> We are not making excuses, but other countries protect the teams that play in Europe. Those who address this should know what is happening. They have no idea,” he warned.<\/p> “We are not making excuses, but other countries protect the teams that play in Europe”<\/p> <\/blockquote> Although he did not want to directly attribute the defeat in Germany to the calendar, Flick<\/strong> tried to leave that bad experience behind and focus on the positive current situation of the team: “Maybe we are not in the best moment, but I feel very proud of the team. In Dortmund we did not see the best version, although we are on target for the semi-finals.<\/strong> If in the pre-season they tell me that on April 18 we would be alive in the three competitions<\/a>, I’ll sign it. We are where we want to be. Everyone is happy. We deserve it.”<\/p> Likewise, the native of Heidelberg also insisted on the need to protect his players. “We have to protect the players, they give their best.<\/strong> What happened in Dortmund can happen, but we have only lost one game. We have to be positive. The team knows what it has to do tomorrow,” he pointed out.<\/p> Flick<\/strong> did not lower the tone and again emphasized the high wear and tear<\/strong> that his team is suffering: “Between the game against Dortmund and the one against Celta, we have had one more day. We arrived late, but we have managed it quite well. There are young players and the veterans are very professional.<\/strong> You have to give one hundred percent, whether it’s 90 minutes, 45 or 30. This is a winning team.”<\/p> In turn, he made clear what he expects from his players in situations of fatigue. “Someone might feel tired. If so, you have to ask for a change. It doesn’t matter. At the end of the day you have to look in the mirror and ask yourself if you have given one hundred percent.<\/strong> We are an incredible team with a fantastic club,” he said.<\/p> “Someone might feel tired. If so, you have to ask for a change”<\/p> <\/blockquote>
