Talk about his adaptation

Flick has high hopes

"He asked me to pay attention to the defender's pass. In possession of the ball On the other hand, he wants me to be more confident, not to complicate things, to do my job well, and to let the team play better. After all, there are so many good players, and the goalkeepers don’t need to ask for trouble, they just need to pass the ball to them in the best possible condition. "For our goalkeeper, this means being more focused throughout the game, but if we do. Do it well and train hard, and you will get results. If they don't have enough space, they will make more mistakes and our team will have more possession of the ball. But it has to be done well because it all depends on a few centimeters.

Points for improvement

About the competition for the goalkeeper position

I will do the same when I come back from injury. I will try to win the starting position and keep it until the end of the season. "

When I learned about the opportunity to join Barcelona

"When Barcelona officially made the offer, from a sports and future perspective, I did not hesitate. But the emotional aspect is a complex issue, and I thought about how it would affect those around me.

Barcelona is temporarily second in the league

"We know this will be a difficult season. We try to win every game without thinking too much. Things may not have been going our way lately, but we're working on changing that. We had a lot of discussions about this and I saw the team was very focused. "
