Despite the setback, Flick remains optimistic about his team’s future in the competition. With 7 matches still ahead, he believes that the team has what it takes to bounce back and reach their objectives.
“We Will Still Play a Great Champions League”
Flick kicked off the press conference by assuring fans and the media that this team is far from giving up. “We will still play a great Champions League. We have 7 matches to go. We will reach our objectives,” Flick declared, showing unwavering belief in his squad’s ability to perform in the upcoming fixtures.
Proud Despite the Loss
While the defeat was tough to accept, Flick expressed pride in his players' efforts, stating, “I’m very proud of this team. We have to accept the loss, but we have 7 matches to go. I’m sure we’ll come back.” His positive outlook sets the tone for the team to regroup and push forward.
Managing the Schedule
With a hectic fixture list ahead, Flick acknowledged the physical and mental demands on his players. “We have to recover and gain our energy. We have to prepare to have matches every 3 days. It’s not easy for the players,” he said. The coach emphasized the importance of rotation and recovery to maintain performance levels during this intense period.
Reflecting on the Red Card
One of the pivotal moments of the match was the red card that left Flick’s team down to 10 men. Reflecting on the incident, he said, “I’m very optimistic with this team. I don’t think this would have been the same match if we had 11 men. We have to accept the red card, it’s not in my hands. We can’t change it.” Despite the frustration, Flick made it clear that the team would move past the decision and focus on the future.
Focus Shifts to Villarreal
Looking ahead, Flick turned his attention to the next challenge, stating, “We’re looking forward to Sunday’s match against Villarreal.” The upcoming game provides an opportunity for the team to get back on track, and Flick is determined to ensure they do just that.
