PRESS CONFERENCE ONGOING 6. (SOUNDBITE) (English) BARCELONA COACH, HANSI FLICK, ON MANAGING LAMINE YAMAL’S INJURIES, SAYING: “But this is not my problem. This is, for us, he’s important and how I said after the last match, he’s managing everything good. So, he has a lot of discipline, he trained good, gets treatment, so, all of this, he has to manage this injury, and he did it really good. So, it’s not like that, that you can say ‘okay, today it’s done’, or, ‘you have one more week to go for that’, so, it’s also for us, for the medical staff, for everyone, it’s hard work, and also for Lamine, and what I can say is he’s good, and when he’s able to play, he will play.” 7.

I’m also thinking about what’s best for me. It's not an important issue for me right now. I have things to work on now, and we have a lot of matches. After the international break, there are still nine matches until the end of the year. I have all these things in my head and, so, I'm focused on the things I can do best, which is scoring goals and helping my team win other matches.” 9.

PLAYERS, INCLUDING WINGER LAMINE YAMAL, GOING THROUGH TRAINING DRILL STORY: Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said that his side can expect a tough test away to Club Brugge in their Champions League encounter. Speaking on Tuesday (November 4) on the eve of their group phase encounter, Flick stressed that the “unbelievably good” home atmosphere spurs the Belgian side on, and that mixed with their one-against-one press makes them a difficult side to face. Barcelona arrive with a record of two wins and a loss in their opening three Champions League games, and are off the back of a 3-1 LaLiga win against Elche. Robert Lewandowski returned from injury in that game, and while quizzed about his future on Tuesday, the Polish striker said that he was calm and focused on winning games for his club and country. The 37-year-old forward has a year remaining on his current deal. (Production: Zoran Mikletic, Stefan Haskins)
