Barcelona is preparing for a crucial match against Real Betis, and German coach Hansi Flick has asked the group to focus exclusively on this match. In last night's press conference, Flick reiterated that the priority is Saturday's match, avoiding thinking about the future match with PSG or the Clásico. "We are only focused on the next match. At the moment I don't care what happens next," he said, underlining the importance of giving your best in every match.
Flick described Betis as a team with great confidence, capable of winning all their matches at home and competing in the Champions League. “For this reason, we ask for maximum attention from our players,” he added. The coach recalled the difficulty of the last three matches, but also referred to the defensive performance against Galatasaray, calling it "fantastic". “It's true that these next three matches will be difficult, but so was the one against Galatasaray and we defended fantastically,” he explained.
During the conference, Flick praised the performance of some of the team's protagonists. He mentioned Pedri, Rodri and Fermín, calling them “fantastic” and expressed his intention to show their quality in every match. “We want to prove it in every match,” he said, highlighting the importance of maintaining high offensive and defensive performance.
Barcelona, who are in a competitive position in the Spanish Premier League, will face Betis in a match that could influence the standings. With the team having proven that they can withstand tough challenges, Flick seems confident that the players maintain the required focus. The short-term goal is to win this match, while the subsequent matches with PSG and the Clásico will remain on the agenda for next week. Barcelona is therefore preparing to give its all against Betis, with the hope of consolidating its position in the table and continuing to compete at European level.
