Barcelona’s disappointing draw against Real Betis has left manager Hansi Flick frustrated and seeking improvement from his team. Flick expressed his disappointment, stating that the team needed to win the match, and acknowledged that they are a young team that requires improvement.
Flick attributed the team’s struggles to their slow pace, relying too heavily on long balls, which is not their strong suit. He emphasized the need for the team to play more quickly and improve their overall performance.
Despite making changes to the lineup, Flick admitted that the team played poorly from the start. He justified his decision to make substitutions, citing the need for fresh legs ahead of their upcoming Champions League game against Dortmund.
The draw marks Barcelona’s fourth consecutive league game without a win, with their only victory in the last five matches coming against Osasuna. As they prepare to face Dortmund in the Champions League, Flick will be looking for a significant improvement from his team.
In the meantime, the Barcelona players’ performances against Betis have been rated, with Lamine Yamal receiving a 9 out of 10 for his impressive display, while Frenkie de Jong earned a 3 out of 10 for his underwhelming performance.
