Flick delighted with Barcelona rout of Valencia; praises Fermin and Roony

Barcelona Dominates Valencia in Thrilling Victory

Barcelona’s manager Hansi Flick expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance following a stunning 6-0 triumph over Valencia on Sunday evening.

Full-Scale Victory

The match saw Barcelona secure a convincing win, highlighted by two goals each from Fermin Lopez, Robert Lewandowski, and Raphinha.

Coach’s Remarks

In his post-match analysis, Flick remarked, “I’m extremely pleased with how we performed right from the outset. Our intensity and teamwork were evident. The starting eleven showcased exceptional skill, and the bench players elevated their performance as well. This marks a fresh chapter for us after the break, and it was heartwarming to see Marc Bernal back on the field.”

Key Player Absence

This remarkable victory came despite the absence of Lamine Yamal, who was unavailable due to an injury.

Focused on Future Matches

Flick further commented, “There’s always a chance for everyone. Players like Frenkie de Jong and Alejandro Balde were also absent. Our focus remains on each match ahead. Right now, we’re gearing up for the encounter with Newcastle. We’re thrilled with today’s result.”

Fermin Lopez Impresses

Fermin had a standout performance, much to the delight of his coach. Flick noted, “He played exceptionally well, but it was a team effort. The entire squad relished the game. Once the transfer window closed, I felt relieved as it allowed our players to concentrate on their game. Everyone contributed significantly. Eric and Cubarsí were solid in defense, and the midfield was effective as well. It resembled the level of play I witnessed in the stands last season.”

Development and Improvement

Flick emphasized the importance of remaining composed, stating, “Today marked a significant step for him. He’s managing the ball well and recovering possession effectively. His confidence is growing, and I believe there’s still room for improvement. We must keep a level head, though perhaps he should avoid unnecessary risks like trying a nutmeg.”

Selection Choices Explained

Flick made the decision to start Roony Bardghji over Raphinha, elaborating, “It was a deliberate choice. Roony has been training excellently and exhibits a strong mentality and attitude. Raphinha had just returned from a long journey. We have only eleven spots to fill, and we have a lot of talent to choose from. Roony’s attitude was remarkable; he is eager to learn and grow.”
