Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick shared his thoughts following the victory over Athletic in the Spanish championship. The German specialist specifically highlighted the performance of the team's midfielder, Pedri. Goal.com reports on this.
According to Flick, it was the 23-year-old player's presence on the pitch that ensured the control of the game shifted into the hands of the Catalans. The coach emphasized that Pedri not only plays well himself but also increases the effectiveness of the teammates around him.
«Pedri makes everyone play better. He changed the game and perfectly restored the connection between the lines.
His presence on the field also eased the work of creative players like Dani Olmo», — Flick said.
Speaking about Lamine Yamal, the author of the only goal in the match, the coach acknowledged that although the young star did not show his best game, he decided the situation at the necessary moment. In Flick's opinion, fighting as a team and snatching victory in difficult situations is evidence of a championship character.
Currently, Barcelona continues to lead the La Liga standings. The team will play its next important match against Newcastle in the Champions League.
