Hupu November 24th: Barcelona head coach Flick attended the pre-match press conference against Chelsea in the Champions League.

About tomorrow's game

"We always adjust according to the opponent. We know how we want to play, but we also know that the opponent will ask us to respond differently. Every game is different and cannot be exactly the same."

About Pedri's absence

"Chelsea is one of the best teams in the world. The progress and changes at this club are huge. They have a lot of young, good players and a great coach, and I really admire what they are doing. This is a young, talented team. For us, this will be a must-have game. A competitive game. The Champions League is never easy, but we are confident and will go all out as usual."

Lewandowski has been in hot form recently, but has not scored in the Champions League this season

"Before his injury in October, his start to the season surprised everyone; and when he returned, he surprised everyone. He is still in excellent form and shows it in every game. He has the luck to score but also the hunger to score. It is very important for us to have a player like him who can give the team what it needs at critical moments."

Previously Maresca. Praising Barcelona and Guardiola at the press conference

"They like to have the ball, and we also like it; they want to press, and we also want to press, and both sides want to control the game. As for Guardiola, when you see his Barcelona playing, everyone falls in love with that team. Everyone learns their style, his The way they play, the way they train. When Guardiola went to Germany, we can't say copy him, but we did look at his methods and he gave a lot of coaches the right direction to build their own systems. But of course, everyone is different because you can't copy Guardiola. He's incredible. He is the best coach. Maresca is right, many coaches have been influenced by him. "

Regarding Raphinha's return, "The important thing is that he has come back. As for how many minutes he will play, he has to decide. Two injuries, which is not a good thing at this stage, so we have to be careful. I'm happy for him to come back because he made a difference immediately when he came on last Saturday: rhythm, creating space."

About Rashford

"I feel for him. Very happy. He had a cold but he has recovered. Tomorrow we will see if he will start or be a substitute. I am very happy that he is in my team. I have always been impressed by his ability in the penalty area and his impact at Barcelona. Some. Coming to a new league, a new environment, a good climate...it's really nice to see him smiling all the time. This is the positive impact the team's atmosphere has on him."

Previous media reported that Barcelona's medical and fitness team's mistakes caused repeated injuries to the players

"I don't usually. Watch the news however you like, but I did see this about the injury. What I want to say is that I am not angry with the medical team; we have a good and experienced medical team. We do make mistakes during Raphinha's recovery, and it is normal because we are all human. Despite this, we still trust all members of the medical team. Ignore any other external noise."

Whether it is the best time to play against Chelsea

"You can never choose when is the best time to play this kind of game; every game is different. Chelsea, because we can show our quality. It's a good test. The team has improved a lot in recent weeks, several players are back: De Jong is back, Rashford is back, Raphinha can adapt to more playing time, and of course, Joan Garcia will be back at the weekend. Back. These are good news. We have been focused and high-intensity in training, but it must show in the game."

About Eric Garcia playing in midfield

"We have many options in this position, and Eric may be one of them. 1. Let’s see tomorrow. He performed very well against Athletic Bilbao, grabbed a lot of goals, and was involved in one goal. "

We lost some points in the previous game, and whether it will be a key game tomorrow

"Our goal is to enter the top eight, but We know it's not easy, not at all. It was shown last year that it's possible to win the Champions League even if you're not in the top eight, because it's the Champions League and it's great to play against them and I hope it will be the same tomorrow."source:vn 7m vn
