The Spaniard recognizes the work of his German colleague.

Athletic Bilbao head coach Ernesto Valverde spoke about his team's defeat in the 2nd round match of the Spanish La Liga with Barcelona (1:2). Quote from the Spanish fajavian Barca Universal.

"

We can say that the team played with two forwards, and Rafinya was in a tizzy. Flick didn’t give me a plan for today’s game. Barsi's system was much the same as in the last match against Valencia. One change - the replacement of Casado Viyshov Pedri.

“We were trying to put pressure on our opponent and force him to play steadily in defense, but it was impossible because Kubarsi had spit on our skin in the final third,” Valverde said.

Barcelona entrenador Hansi Flick previously commented on the game with Athletic.
