Hansi Flick expects substitutes to react on the pitch rather than after the game after some players were frustrated by not playing
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has admitted he understands the frustrations of substitute duo Ansu Fati and Hector Fort but was unhappy with their lack of self-control in their comeback 4-3 win over Celta Vigo.
Both Fort and Fati were เว็บพนันออนไลน์ UFABET สมัครง่าย โปรโมชั่นมากมาย left furious at not being on the pitch, while Ferran Torres was also seen feeling frustrated after being taken off, with the German coach pictured chatting to Fort on the pitch, before Flick revealed he was pleased the players were eager to play but could have done better at controlling themselves.
‘Can I understand that they are unhappy, disappointed or upset? Of course I do. I was also a professional player, I understand that. They still want to show that they can help the team, show that they can help us achieve our goals. I completely understand that.’
‘Did I understand the reaction? No, it wasn’t like that. I don’t understand it for me. You have to accept it. We won, we came back, it was a big comeback from 1-3 down. We celebrated and I think they made the right decision. What I want to see is when they play, we want to see the right reaction. This is important, not the reaction after the game. I want to see the reaction on the pitch.’
Flick also spoke about the comeback win over Celta Vigo 4-3 after coming from 3-1 down, saying it boosted the Azulgrana’s morale.
‘We don’t know what will happen when we watch the games of Barca and Real Madrid, they are very strong, against Celta and Athletic, La Liga is at a high level and the target is not to lose points, but even if we do well it is not easy. We saw this against Celta and I hope it is a warning, it is a long way, Real Madrid is a great team and they want to achieve it as well. ‘
‘The important thing for me is that we always look at ourselves and try to improve. What happened after the games against Dortmund and Celta, the important thing is that we have to do things better. We have the quality to beat any team. What happened against Celta, when we turned things around, what I saw today was a lot of positive energy.’
‘This is good, the team is in a good mood, that’s positive and we have to move forward.’
