Hansi Flick reflects upon FC Barcelona's 5th consecutive win of this season
While there have been instances in the past seasons of FC Barcelona getting a perfect start, a big difference that has been felt this far has been the club's hunger for more goals. Hansi Flick's high-line tactics, combined with intense pressing from the very first minutes, have stood out for the club's success.
Speaking on the team's victory, Barcelona boss Hansi Flick remarked,
""I like our pressing. It has been very intense from the first minute. We deserved the win and the result.""

While several Barcelona stars were clinical in the away victory against Girona, the young sensation Lamine Yamal stood a level above others. Recording a brace, being crucial in creating chances, and even making key tackles, the 17-year-old looked complete in all aspects Vs Girona. With his two goals from the matchday, he has steered to the top of the list with the most La Liga goal contributions this season, seven from the five fixtures.
Flick, being immensely overjoyed by the prodigy's performance, said,
""Lamine normally gives the last pass, but I'm happy that he scored today.""

However, the only thing that didn't fall correctly for Barca was that Dani Olmo, after netting the 3-0 goal with a thunderous strike, had to be subbed off soon, facing discomfort. Already having an injury-inflicted squad, FC Barcelona wouldn't want to lose on a star who's had three goals in 3 appearances so far.
In the media address, Hansi Flick hoped for the same, saying,
""We'll wait to see what happens with Olmo. I hope it's not too serious, hopefully something minor, but we have to see.""

Overall, from FC Barcelona's perspective, it was an ideal fixture, apart from Olmo's concern, the way they played, from the first minutes to the last ones. Going forward, the Blaugrana club has a busy schedule, and the club would hope that Dani Olmo's availability isn't compromised in the important games.
