Hansi Flick This Saturday he expressed his vision about the visit of Betis tomorrow at Spotify Camp Nou. But the main focus of the press conference was not the meeting of LaLiga but the announcement of Lewandowski that leaves the Barcelona this season.
19 home wins
“We need goals, and this is it. We want to win every home game. Betis is a great team, stable, with players of great individual quality who make differences and decide matches. It won’t be easy. We want to win.”

Lewandowski
“The conversation has gone well. He has spoken with the team, he has said goodbye. It has been a great stage. I have told him that I have won all the titles with him. There have been nine titles. It is a privilege to have worked with him, he is a great professional. He is an example to follow, he takes care of himself, that is why he plays at that level. Now he wants to change, he wants to move. It is good for him and for the club. He is a great person and a great player.”

Farewell

De Jong
“In the last game, we managed the minutes a lot. We will see a different team. Frenkie is not available, he is not feeling well. There is hope with Marcus, but he will not be a starter. But he could be called up.”

“It is clear that it is not easy to find someone of Robert’s level. He is a fantastic professional and a great person. We will miss him, but we must renew the structure.”
Lewandowski legacy
“He is a great example to follow. He gives everything. It has been a privilege to work with him and see how he strives. He has always been there, in the tough moments.”
More goodbyes
“I don’t think there is more, I don’t think so. Although everything is possible in football.”
Christensen
“The plan is for him to have some minutes tomorrow. We thought about it in the last game, but then we have to manage the games and because of how it happened he didn’t play.”
Paris final
“We have to play our best football, and we didn’t make it in the Champions League. We have to be better than the others. That’s the goal. It won’t be easy.”
Joan García will play against Betis
Joan Garcia
“The fact that he did not play against Alavés has nothing to do with Zamora. Joan’s minutes must be managed. Szczesny deserved to play. Tomorrow Joan will play.”
Lewandowski
“The decision has been made like this. We do not think about other hypotheses. We respect it.”
I treat the players with respect, and they treat me, and I communicate with them
Great locker room atmosphere
“I don’t know if that’s the case… I simply treat the players with respect and that’s what I ask of them. We are a team that wants to win and play great football, beautiful with the ball. The best situation is to be honest with each other. When it’s hard to say things, you have to be honest. Sometimes you have to make decisions that you don’t like, but the important thing is the team. Sometimes you have to take a step back for the good of the team. I talk a lot with them. I communicate. I make it clear that the decisions are for the good of the team. It also helps to have success. We are here to win titles and the mentality must be highly professional. Quality must be present in the games and in training. This is what I ask of the players, and respect is also crucial.
