Coach Hansi Flick is feeling optimistic as he prepares his team for the upcoming Champions League match against Club Brugge. Speaking at a press conference held at the Jan Breydel Stadium, Flick highlighted the gradual return of key players and expressed satisfaction with the team’s mentality during training. His comments reflect a clear sense of confidence in the squad’s growth and readiness.
Joining Flick at the conference was star striker Robert Lewandowski, who reaffirmed his commitment to the club, stating, “I am very happy at this Club and in Barcelona, I will give my best.” This positive sentiment can be pivotal in building team morale ahead of the match.
Flick acknowledged the challenges posed by Club Brugge, noting their style of play often involves ball possession and pressing, akin to FC Barcelona’s recent encounter with Elche. He emphasized the need for his players to adopt a strong team mindset, focusing on executing the game plan effectively. “We took a step forward with the win against Elche, and we have important players like Olmo and Lewandowski back. We have the quality to win against Club Brugge,” he asserted.
With a full squad of 21 players available, Flick is eager to secure three points on the road. However, he remains tight-lipped about his starting lineup, stating, “Everyone who traveled might play,” indicating his flexibility going into this crucial match.
As the countdown to the fixture on November 5 begins, excitement builds not only among the team but also among fans, who are hopeful of a successful performance in Bruges. The atmosphere promises to be electric, and with the team’s recent improvements under Flick’s guidance, there is a strong sense of anticipation for what lies ahead.
