Lionel Messi delighted with Hansi Flick’s Barcelona: ‘It’s amazing’

Hansi Flick’s start to life at Barcelona has not been short of praise in the early months of his career, and he can add some more outstanding plaudits than Lionel Messi. The Argentine captain expressed his joy at watching the Blaugrana under the German coach.

The Inter Miami star is set to fly to the Catalan capital next week to take part in the club’s 125th anniversary celebrations at the Liceu Theater on Thursday. He took part in the documentary series “El Nou Clam”, which was released yesterday, and spoke about how much this city means to him.

“My children are Catalan, I have lived there all my life, the truth is that I feel like I am from Barcelona and at any moment I can go and live there. Because my children, my wife and I really miss life in Barcelona, ​​since we have friends there, we left a lot there.”

He also praised the Blaugrana’s form at the start of the season, as well as the growth in the number of young players coming into the squad.

“They look impressive and it doesn’t surprise me because it’s not something new, it’s been happening all my life, or at least since I came to Barcelona when I was 13.” – he explained TV3.

“It’s impressive to me that the guys have had this opportunity for several years. When they are given the opportunity and confidence, they react this way because they know the club better than anyone else and because they are used to playing this way since childhood and when they are accompanied, such things happen, as they have also happened. in another era.”

Shortly after posting his comments, Flick held a pre-match press conference ahead of Barcelona’s match against Celta Vigo on Saturday night. called Messi’s praise an “honor”. The challenge for Flick and Barcelona will be to maintain form throughout the season with a weak squad. Despite playing some of the best football in Europe in the early months, if Real Madrid win their game against Valencia their lead will be reduced to three points.
