Hansi Flick Prepares for Match Against Alavés Following Clásico Setback
Hansi Flick addressed the media at a press conference ahead of the upcoming match against Alavés, aiming for a return to winning form after last weekend’s Clásico defeat.
Flick discussed several important topics, including Raphinha’s selection for Brazil’s squad for the international friendlies in November: “I’ve spoken with Deco and he’s a very important player. After the last international break, he came back injured, which wasn’t ideal. But it is what it is; we can’t change it. I know Rapha is the captain here and holds the club close to his heart, but he’s Brazilian and, when he’s called up, he’s ready. Every player wants to play for Brazil. If he can manage his playing time well, I’ll be happy. Traveling to Singapore isn’t ideal, but it’s beyond my control.”

During the press conference, the Barça coach also shared his thoughts on the recent Ballon d’Or winner: “Kane deserved it. You know my opinion of Lamine; he’s good enough to win this award.”
Flick indicated the possibility of signing a defender during the upcoming transfer window: “I said it during the transfer window: we’re always talking about what’s best for the team and how we can improve it. That’s something we’re doing. We’ll see. We still have a few weeks before the window opens. We’ve discussed it with Deco, Bojan and my staff. That’s how we work. If we can, perhaps we will.”
