"I don't know where you have got that information from, but at the end, I'm sorry about the choice of words, but it's totally b*******, okay?! I never, never was asked that. I really appreciate how they [the board] believe in my work. They would never ask me something like this. So, I can say it's b*******! And if someone said this, he's lying."
"Barcelona will be without Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, Gavi, Raphinha, Joan Garcia and Marc-Andre ter Stegen for Saturday's match, while Yamal and Fermin Lopez have been passed fit, but not for a full 90 minutes. 'I cannot change it. We have to find solutions,' Flick said of the injury woes. 'We might have to rely on players from La Masia [the academy]. We will see what happens.'"
Hansi Flick denied claims that sporting director Deco pressured him to play Lamine Yamal after an alleged late arrival, calling the suggestion b****** and saying anyone who made it was lying. Yamal has returned to training and will be part of the squad for Saturday's LaLiga match against Girona, providing a boost to an injury-hit team. Barcelona remain without several starters including Lewandowski, Gavi and ter Stegen, while Yamal and Fermin Lopez are only fit for limited minutes. Flick said the team must find solutions, possibly drawing on La Masia, and stressed attitude and mentality will be decisive.
