Hi community!
The Barça coach plays with all the statistics in his favour but he does not want the past to be remembered to the detriment of the player from Egar.

Hansi Flick is not keen on comparisons with Xavi. Since his arrival at Barça, the German coach has seen his name permanently associated with what his predecessor did. The good results, leading the league and also the Champions League, are in his favour and that means that those around him are always looking at each other. In the press conference before the match against Real Sociedad and following a question about Thierry Henry's comments on CBS Sports ("Xavi opened this new era"), he asked not to prolong the comparisons.
"I don't think it's fair to always compare my work with Xavi's. They are two different situations and I have a lot of respect for him. He was a great player and a great coach. But now I'm here," he began by saying, acknowledging that "of course he gave players from the youth system the opportunity to play and that's also his merit," he added. So the German coach stressed that "we could say that I'm continuing along the same lines." He did not want to take over the boom in youth football.
His Barça is the leader in all statistics. It leads the League with 33 points and a bag of 40 goals. In Europe, it has 9 points and 15 goals, the most productive team. "There are many things that I'm satisfied with. When we watch the games, for example the last one in Belgrade, we saw what we asked of the players: that they finish together." And then he recalled the game against Espanyol, with that second half with the team relaxed. "We didn't finish as a team. In Belgrade we did, and I value that a lot. We worked as a team so that they play and defend as a unit. In defence it's not so easy and they do it very well."
Beating Real Sociedad at Anoeta, a Europa League team, would be a show of authority. "We're going for the three points but that's our objective but it won't be easy. We have to work more than 90 minutes together as a team."
See You soon! π
