After leading Barcelona to a brilliant 1-0 victory over Getafe, making it seven wins in a row in the league, Barcelona manager Hans-Dieter Fricker showed his pride in his team's performance and calm planning for the future in the post-match interview. Facing a tough defensive opponent like Getafe, Frick emphasized the toughness of the game and the resilience of his players: "They told me that this is normal in a game against Getafe, but my players fought for 95 minutes and I am proud of them."
Talking about the key to the game, Frick pointed out that both sides had their moments of missed opportunities, but Barcelona seized their own chances: "Sometimes it's like that, but we were given a chance and we took it." In response to Getafe's tight defensive formation, Frick said that the team found a way to break through by constantly adjusting their tactics, which demonstrated the team's ability to adapt to adversity and the power of teamwork.
Speaking about the rumors of Szczesny joining the club, Frick showed his firm confidence in the current squad, "I only talk about the players we have in the team, Iñaki (Peña) is our number one goalkeeper and I'm very happy with him." At the same time, he also revealed the club's considerations for the possible introduction of a new goalkeeper in the future, emphasizing the importance of experience and stability.
On the performance of the team's centerpiece Lewandowski, Frick spoke highly of "For me, he's the best No. 9 in the last 10 years." He praised Lewan's efficient goal scoring in the penalty area and his cooperation with his teammates as one of the key factors in the team's victory.
In addition, Frick highlighted the outstanding performance of young players such as Eric Garcia and Conde in the game and their important role in the team's tactical system. He emphasized that the team's success cannot be achieved without the efforts and contributions of every player, both veterans and rookies, who are striving for a common goal.
In the face of a seven-game winning streak and tying the record for the best start in team history, Frick was remarkably calm and humble: "At first I didn't realize that the winning streak was eight games, and I didn't care. Because when the league started, we wanted to take it one step at a time." He emphasized that the team is now focused only on the next game, with all of its energy concentrated on future training and games. This pragmatic and focused attitude has certainly laid a solid foundation for Barcelona's continued success.
