BARCELONA.- The German coach of Barcelona, Hansi Flick, stated this Monday that his players They must create a more fighting mentality to win the games after the unexpected defeat at home against Las Palmas (2-1) on Saturday, reaching three league games without a victory.
“Today (Monday) I talked about the fight, the necessary fight, not just about playing football. When I was a player I focused a lot on this attitude, I have never liked losing and I think we have to create more of a fighting mentality to win in some situations on the field we do well, but we have room to improve,” explained Flick in the press conference on the eve of his trip to Mallorca, for an early match for the Spanish Super Cup, which will be played in January. .
“The good news is that we have created chances, but we have not defined correctly. It is true that we are the youngest team in the League and we have to continue learning many things and fight for victory. When the game gets complicated we do not have to concede and We must defend as a block. And when we attack the same,” he added.
The coach pointed out that they could have won against the Canary Islands team, but that they didn’t know how to do it. Regarding Tuesday’s confrontation against Mallorca, he assured that it will be important to “materialize” the two or three opportunities that arise to score.
