BARCELONA (SPAIN) (ITALPRESS) – Closing the La Liga issue as soon as possible, renewing his contract, and then pursuing his dream of the Champions League. These are Hansi Flick‘s goals, today at a press conference on the eve of the home match against Celta Vigo, the 33rd matchday of the Spanish top league. “La Liga is the only competition we have left. We’ve had a couple of days off to clear our heads. The atmosphere is fantastic, but we need to transmit it on the pitch and give our all. We need to learn from defeats and from every match. I feel the team is in great spirits,” Flick said, indicating that the disappointment of the Champions League elimination in the derby against Atlético Madrid has at least been partially overcome. “The team is young. The elimination was painful. But we have to give our best in the next matches and also in next season. I’m proud of my team. We’re focused on La Liga; we have an advantage, but it’s not over yet. It won’t be easy. We want to play our best and give everything. The elimination was painful, but everyone is proud of the team because they gave everything.”
The future, having said that he speaks “with Deco every day, on the pitch or on the phone” and that planning for next season is already being discussed, Flick focuses on his future, starting from the present. “I had a fantastic time with the national team and with Bayern… but here I feel that everything around me is top notch. Looking around, if I think about my career and my family, I’m very happy. The feeling is fantastic: the atmosphere in the dressing room is wonderful. The Champions League is a motivation. It’s the club’s and the fans’ dream. We need to stay united and try again and again; I hope it will come soon.” The German, therefore, is ready to remain at the helm of the club. “My plan is to renew. I’m very honest; it will be the last step of my career, and I feel great here. I’d like to renew, but this isn’t the time to talk about it now. For me, winning the Champions League with Barça is a huge dream. I want two things: the first is to win the Champions League. And I think we can do it by making the right decisions, including in the transfer market. We have the potential to improve, but we already have a good structure. The second thing I want is to be in charge of the team when the stadium work is completed. I’m very happy and satisfied with how Barça is working; it’s like being part of a big family. Now we have to focus on what remains to be done.”
