Flick praises team spirit after Getafe victory

Hansi Flick praised Jules Kounde and Gabriel Jesus after Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 at Camp Nou, maintaining their perfect start to the league season. The coach said the squad’s competitive atmosphere and willingness to put the team first were central to the result.

Kounde earns praise on return

Kounde returned to the starting XI and scored, prompting Flick to call him “a 100% professional” who is always looking to compete and improve. Flick added that players must accept rotation for the good of the side: “The important thing is the team,” he said, describing the atmosphere at the club as “incredible.”

Jesus makes his first start count

Gabriel Jesus scored Barcelona’s second goal on his first start. Flick described the forward as “a great footballer” and said his finishing was a particular strength, while also underlining the defensive work expected of Barcelona’s attackers. “Everyone is part of the team and connected, and that’s important,” the coach said.

Flick mindful of Yamal’s workload

Lamine Yamal again started and told Flick he did not want to be substituted. The coach praised the teenager’s attitude and said Barcelona would continue to manage his workload. Flick noted that Yamal had created more chances after the break and was recovering well while receiving treatment.

Barcelona now turn their attention to Europe, with a Champions League meeting against Galatasaray scheduled for Tuesday.
