In Barcelona's 5-1 home win over Sevilla, Barcelona manager Frick spoke highly of his team's performance and made special mention of the importance of the comeback of players such as Garvey to the team. After the match, Frick attended the press conference and answered reporters' questions in detail.
Speaking about the team's form, Frick said, "We are happy because players like Garvey, Olmo and Firmin are back and they have put in a great effort to return. We will be a stronger team as the personnel gradually arrive."
On Kubasi's performance, Frick praised, "Kubasi is smart, he adapts well to his opponents, has great one-on-one ability, and runs well with and without the ball."
Commenting on the multiple big wins, Frick emphasized, "Every game is different and every opponent has their own strengths and weaknesses. We have to be clear on how we are going to press our opponents because each opponent requires us to adapt."
Regarding De Jong's situation, Frick explained, "De Jong is not injured, we analyzed it before and he would have been able to play, but we decided to play Garvey. It was the right decision, but Frankie (De Jong) was available today and Wednesday."
Commenting on Fathi, Frick said, "It's important for everyone to get on the field, but it hasn't been easy for Fathi because of the injuries. He's got the power, but can do better."
On Pablo Torre's positioning, Frick believes, "He can play at number 7, has excellent shooting skills and can play in other positions. He's a talent and shows strength, which is important for him and for us."
Speaking about the upcoming Devils schedule, Frick said, "Every game is important, not just the games against the big clubs. The players did a great job and we are happy for Garvey's comeback and the win. The fans here are so spectacular, it gives you goosebumps and I love it."
On the situation with Erick Garcia and De Jong, Frick revealed, "Erick had some problems but hopefully Wednesday will be an option for us. De Jong started to be a bit sick on Friday so we decided to train him alone yesterday and today he's much better, but a debut is not yet possible."
Speaking about the intensity of Garvey's game, Fricke said, "Garvey realized his dream of playing five minutes on the field and all of us are happy about that. He puts in a lot of intensity, which is normal, it's the way he plays."
Regarding the match between Levan and Kane, Furyk emphasized, "The game is not between players, it's between teams. I'm happy for Levan's goal, but it's also important to see how close he is to the rest of the players."
Finally, speaking about creating offsides and defending, Frick said, "The center backs were very focused and Kubasi and Inigo did a good job. It's also important that the others do their job when we press high up the pitch. We need to defend well against Bayern and Real Madrid."
Speaking about what to expect when taking over at Barcelona, Fricke confessed, "When I first came here, I would have thought in a good way. But now we feel very good because the young players are playing well, and when the internationals came back we played equally well. I think it's important to have a good feeling and gradually the players gain confidence to play the game we want to play."
