The newspaper stated that Flick is amazed by the legendary performance that Pedri has been showing with Barcelona this season, believing that Pedri played a significant role in securing tonight’s victory. He told the player, saying, “I hope all 11 players on the team are like you.”
The newspaper added that Flick is very angry with Lamine Yamal because of his continued show-off and excessive ball holding, warning the player that he could be excluded from the starting lineup if he continues at this level.
Flick also expressed frustration with Barcelona’s duo, Lewandowski and Raphinha, due to their poor performance in tonight’s match against Rayo, urging them to focus during the most critical periods of the season, otherwise, the team’s season could collapse.
In an unexpected turn of events, Barcelona’s president immediately went to the Catalan team’s locker room and specifically congratulated midfielder Pedri, telling him, “You are the only player who fights for the badge, and you alone deserve the victory tonight.”
Laporta also asked Hansi Flick to be brave and replace Lewandowski and Yamal in matches where they perform poorly, advising him not to be lenient on this matter because the team’s interests are more important than any individual player.
