yes. abominal

Will be tougher games than these four but 2 goals conceded from open play in 4 is not bad.

 

[Windhook]

Valencia were very poor, gave us no game. I kinda feel sad about them in a way. This is not the club we had the rivalry 20 years ago.

You mean pressing. Also, many different players were starting tbf.

I meant defending. Someone pointed out in chat but we didn’t rely on offside trap.

Think our backline didnt push up as much as we have seen before.

But maybe approach for this game dunno.

Valencia also lethargic. But would think then opposite approach make more sense.

Carry on a fight vs Madrid to the end in the league and don't go out to a non-elite side in CL is pretty fair as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed... but if do go out to an elite side not a hammering either. Need to compete.

Valencia sucks but in other games they have looked competent. This was a very good game from Barca

"We know the situation—no excuses. If we have to play here, we'll play here. It's okay for us. But when we're back at Camp Nou, the new one, it'll be incredible for everyone. I want to be there in the stadium, but we have to wait. It's not our decision. We have to accept it and move on," said Flick in the press conference after the match against Valencia, in which three players scored twice to secure a clear victory.


About Raphi's punishment:

"No, we only have eleven players who can start. That's all I can say. Roony started because he trained very well. His attitude is fantastic. I love what I see. His mentality too. Raphinha had a long journey behind him. He has a great mentality," said the Heidelberg native, explaining the measure with the strain of international matches. However, he grinned a little as he said this. Due to delays, Flick had already banned professionals from the starting lineup last season.

“From the beginning, we showed what we wanted to do, and that’s what we’ve seen,” he told Movistar. “Not just Fermín, everyone has fought and had fun on the pitch.”
“The team has been fantastic in every position. The three points are perfect, and for me it’s great to have to choose between Ferran and Lewandowski.”
