Barcelona coach Hansi Flick praised his team's match against Brest in the Champions League (3-0), considering that, after their last La Liga draw against Celta Vigo (2-2), his players have shown “how strong” they can be.
In the press conference following the match in Europe's top competition, the German coach stressed that his team has taken “an important step in the right direction”, although he missed “more hunger” to score more goals.
“We want to finish in the top eight and winning is very important. We know that next game we play a tough match in Dortmund, but we are ready,” he added about the team's situation in Europe's top competition.
One of the protagonists of the match was striker Robert Lewandowski, who with the two goals scored against Brest already has 101 goals in the Champions League. About the Pole, Flick pointed out that he is a “very important” player for his team and stressed that his teammates “support” him to score goals.
“I am very happy for his goals. I think Robert knows he has to score and that he is in the position to do so, but the important thing is what he generates in the team,” added the German coach.
Another of the outstanding players of the match was Pedri, of whom Flick highlighted that “he controlled the match with the ball” and also mentioned the names of Gavi, who continues to get more minutes after injury, and Dani Olmo, scorer of the second goal of the match.
Regarding Frenkie de Jong, who played the last minutes of the match and received some whistles when he came on the pitch, the Teutonic coach explained that the Dutchman “is doing well” in training and is working to return “to the level he had before the injury” in his ankle.
