The newspaper further stated that Flick went to congratulate Barcelona substitute star Pau Victor for scoring after coming on, telling him that he admired his movements and constant pressure on Real Mallorca’s defense. Flick also asked him to prepare for a starting role in the upcoming match against Real Betis.<\/p>\n
In an unexpected development, the newspaper explained that the German coach did not overlook the wonderful performance of substitute midfielder Frenkie de Jong after coming on, urging the player to continue at this level and respond to the doubters on the field only.
\nFlick expressed his full confidence in the Dutch player and his desire for him to remain with Barcelona despite all the rumors circulating about the club\u2019s desire to sell him in January.<\/p>\n
The newspaper concluded that Laporta immediately descended after the match and headed to the team’s locker room, going specifically to the young star Lamine Yamal to congratulate him on his outstanding performance, telling him: “You are the driving force of the team this season.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
