Team had 2 days off, only training today, match tomorrow. All about recuperation now.

Don't expect champagne football here and Mallorca in 4 days. Just get the job done with least effort. If possible.

Yeah in these times there's not a lot of training/improving. Just matches and recovering on repeat.

Said team needs to improve on Dortmund performance.

Looked annoyed at another Dortmund question and fired back: "Do you know how many matches we played"? "Other leagues protect their clubs in Champions League. We have no time to rest! Maybe we aren't in a good moment but team is doing great.

"If someone at the start of the season said we'll be in this position I'd kiss them"

Like I said previously he looks increasingly annoyed at Catalan press. And he is right they are ungrateful bunch. They will praise everyone like they won La Liga in October or claim Kounde or Blade are world's best full backs etc. and once things don't go great they criticise everything.

I like he said we’re not in a good moment. Could’ve easily gone the “top of league, still in it for all prizes, only lost once this year. What are you talking about?” route.

But have to check the presser myself. Usually excerpts tend to misrepresent

"I don't want excuses or complain.
One thing I would like to ask is why we can't play at 6PM like everyone." - sounded very pissed. Didn't quite understand was it about late matches or early ones.

Yeah, I am listening live. His English is not perfect either. Couldn't quite understand him about this scheduling stuff.

Celta always gives us a hard time so I'm hoping the players don't underestimate them.

Mallorca is the type of game where we can relax just a little bit.

Haha ok managed to watch a key moment. I think I see what Flick is doing. He’s taking advantage of the Madrid favouritism rumours. He knows he doesnt have to be specific, can just talk very generally and it will maybe have people raise questions and put some pressure on the football federation and involve Madrid favouritism in the discussion.

At one point says “why not allow us to play here at 6 pm as we have always done so. Us being successful is beneficial to the league. Maybe we and europea league teams can win us extra spot for CL next year?”

“I just want to ask the person in charge for that to tell me why? Just why?”

He knows putting emphasis on there with a bit of emotional delivery as to being little reason not to will maybe open up discussions also taking into account recent events concerning Madrid.

Nice one.

Wasnt vague. At some point he even said he would like to see who the guy that decides is. Haven't seen him annoyed like this but absolutely agree with him. And then you get some cunt form Catalunya radio harping about poor performance.

I included that in my post.

I think the emphasis and emotion displayed is deliberate. He wants the debate to steer into favouritism and different treatment of teams without doing it himself.

Definitely in back of mind he has the ridiculous 1 game ban of Mbappe given 5 days ago.


Am I ovethinking?

I dunno…he seemed pretty calm rest of presser but went out of character with the WHY?!

What is also interesting there is no coordination between these Catalan press and club. What you want to do (when club can't protest much) is you instruct some of those so called journalists to bring up these issues.
What you get instead with these inbreds is they complain how Barca is playing bad and pester Flick with it. Failing to see root of the problem nevermind the bigger picture and club benefit.

It's all so amateurish.

Catalán press is controlled opposition serving the interest of the capital. Never went after Tebas' jugular when he tightened FFP rules while the other leagues were softening them.


but it's not just the press,, all the other clubs, llevat de Barça y Real re-elected him knowing full well that a Spanish team winning CL would increase prestige and revenues across the board.

Talk about bazooka yourself in da foot 🤣
