Flick Explains Reasons for Missed Goals in Prague

Barcelona's head coach Hans-Dieter Flick answered a question about how much the team worked on set pieces during the press conference after the game in the Czech Republic. Midweek, the Catalans defeated Slavia 4-2, with both of the opponent's goals coming from corner kicks. This was reported by euro-football.rureports.

Flick noted that the match in Prague was unique: the cold weather required the team to take time to adapt. He mentioned that the second goal episode could occur in such situations — Lewandowski did not have time to react to the ball.

The specialist also did not hide his confidence in the defense: he reminded that Barcelona was previously distinguished by organized defense. He also noted that the club historically does not have many tall players, which can cause problems in set pieces, adding that proper management is crucial in such situations.

On Sunday, Barcelona will host Real Oviedo at their home ground.
