""We can change some things, but we also have to stick to our philosophy. We don't have to change our style of play; we are Barça," he said. "This isn't about the philosophy. We can do things better. When there's no intensity, we don't have chances. Teams in the Champions League make very quick transitions, and Club Brugge did that very well, and we respect that. A 3-3 draw isn't a good result, but we came from behind.""
""Everyone has to play in their correct position and press. We did it well [in a 3-1 home win over Elche] on Sunday. Today we managed it in some situations but not in others. We shouldn't make excuses because it was the same starting 11. It's not the team's best moment. We can play at another level. It wasn't an easy match.""
Barcelona drew 3-3 with Club Brugge after conceding several counter-attacks and coming from behind. Flick said the team can change some things but must stick to Barcelona's philosophy and style of play. He said lack of intensity limited chances and allowed rapid transitions by Club Brugge. He demanded correct positions, coordinated pressing, and greater intensity without the ball. Flick noted the same starting eleven played and that performances varied compared with the 3-1 win over Elche. He highlighted lost duels and midfield lapses, and called for analysis, defensive improvement from midfield and the back line, and increased alertness to one- or two-touch chances.
