Hansi Flick was pleased with his Barcelona team’s performance. After beating Sevilla 4-1 to cut the gap to leaders Real Madrid to just two points.
Flick praised his players’ effort, particularly their faster and more efficient second-half display despite playing with 10 men after Fermin Lopez’s red card.
“I am very happy with our performance. We played well and fought for the three points. สมัคร ufabet กับเรา รับโบนัสทันที We did well in the first half and Sevilla also played well,” Flick said after the game.
“In the second half we made a few changes. We played faster, increased the tempo and Fermin’s goal to make it 2-1 was very important. I am very proud of my players. “
After Fermin’s red card we defended very well in a 4-4-1 formation.”
Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has named Barcelona as the best team in the league, but Flick was modest in his response: “There are three, four or five strong teams and we are one of them. “
We have our own style and we are focus on it. Today I am happy with the three points we got against Sevilla but there is still a long way to go.
“At the moment we are in a good situation, we do not care. About the other teams, we just have to do our job and today we did it, we are focused on our target and do not worry about the other teams.”
Barcelona do not have a game until Monday, February 17, when they host Rayo Vallecano.
“I gave my players three days off because they deserved it,” Flick said.
He laughed before adding: “The important thing is not to do anything stupid and to focus on their recovery.”
The bad news from the game was that Ronald Araujo was forced off with a knock in the first half and Flick admitted he did not know the severity of the injury.
“We expect the tests tomorrow and hopefully it is not serious, which is the way it looks,” he added.
