‘We have to be hungry to get the three points. We have to be careful because they can score in the first few minutes. And we have to be focus.’ Flick began. ‘If we are five or 10 per cent below what we should be, there is no way to win. Every team is fighting to stay in La Liga. We have to make it clear how good Barca are, always 100 per cent.’
Asked about his preparations for Sunday’s game. Flick said:
‘We’ll see what happens. We’ve thought about the options and we’re ready.’
When asked about the tactics he expects from Alaves. The German coach replied: ‘What I’m saying is, they’re solidifying the defence, they’re defending very well. And they’re pressing very well.’
‘Sometimes they play with five in the back. In the first 10 minutes, they start the game very well. We have to keep an eye on that. We have to be focused from the start.’
Asked if playing the match at 2pm local time affected his preparation. Flick said: ‘It’s about adapting to training and we did that. I didn’t look at the schedule. We are focused on the game against Alaves tomorrow and the important thing is to be ready. ‘
‘It will be difficult. We have seen how they will play. Will they play more defensively or more offensively? We are prepared for both situations. The team can play at 2:00 p.m.’
