Flick: We Achieved Our Goal, and This is Our Keeper Against Inter and in the Clasico
The coach said: “Our goal was the three points, and that’s why I’m happy with the win, even though it was tough.”
He added: “Are you frustrated with the behavior of some players? No, when you make all these changes, it’s difficult. But I trust my players. They gave their best, and playing in this situation was not easy today. There were mistakes, but we managed to win in the end.”
Regarding Dani Rodriguez’s injury: “He showed in training that he is capable of being here; he is at the level, and we need to help him recover and stay with us.”
On Hector Fort’s struggles at right-back: “The Valladolid player Moro is a fast player. When you make many changes to the starting lineup, some mistakes happen; the automatic processes are different. But I’m happy, and we managed to rest some players in preparation for the match against Inter.”
He added: “Were you planning to give Lamine, Raphinha, and De Jong playing minutes, or did you change your plan? I was ready to share Pedri and Frenkie for 45 minutes, and Raphinha was able to rest. Lamine played a little longer. It’s also good that he plays to regain his rhythm.”
He mentioned: “Did this win affect you more than you expected? Yes, but that’s how things go when you lose 1-0…”
Regarding Ter Stegen’s participation: “In the second half, Ter Stegen showed his quality; it’s good to see him at this level.”
He concluded: “Chesney will participate in the Champions League and against Real Madrid.”
