Barcelona manager, Hansi Flick has come out to share an update on Dani Olmo’s availability. This is coming amid claims that Barcelona have been unable to register the £51m ($66m) signing with La Liga.
According to him, Dani Olmo is not in a good enough physical condition to play Barcelona‘s first La Liga game this season, so he would put his fitness first and help him avoid injuries.
Flick added that despite the club’s many problems off the pitch, he is solely focused on what happens on the field.
His words, “Dani Olmo is not in a good enough physical condition for tomorrow.
We want to take care of him. It is important that everyone plays but also avoids injuries. We want everyone to be there and train, without getting injured.
The things we can’t change we don’t think about. There are no excuses or complaints. Things were said. I have had many experiences in the past and I have arrived here with the situation that exists. We focus on tomorrow’s game, we want to play a great match. Tomorrow morning the list of call-ups will be made official.”
On injured players, “I am very happy to have Pedri again. He will be able to play the second half tomorrow. Gavi is working very well but needs time. He’s a great player and I have to thank all the coaches who are around him and are helping him. I don’t want to put pressure on him, he’s 20 years old and we have to take care of him.”
WOW.
Futbol Club Barcelona, commonly referred to as Barcelona and colloquially known as Barça, is a professional football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, that competes in La Liga, the top flight of Spanish football.
Founded in 1899 by a group of Swiss, Catalan, German, and English footballers led by Joan Gamper, the club has become a symbol of Catalan culture and Catalanism, hence the motto “Més que un club” (“More than a club”). Unlike many other football clubs, the supporters own and operate Barcelona.
There is often a fierce rivalry between the two strongest teams in a national league, and this is particularly the case in La Liga, where the game between Barcelona and Real Madrid is known as “The Classic” (El Clásico).
From the start of national competitions the clubs were seen as representatives of two rival regions in Spain: Catalonia and Castile, as well as of the two cities. The rivalry reflects what many regard as the political and cultural tensions felt between Catalans and the Castilians, seen by one author as a re-enactment of the Spanish Civil War. Over the years, the head-to-head record between the two clubs is 102 victories for Madrid, 100 victories for Barcelona, and 52 draws.
