Flick: Distraction is tolerated today, but we must be on a different level Wednesday

Barcelona coach Hansie Flick has criticism of the second half of his derby with Espanyoli. Germany insists that this distraction should no longer be repeated. Are you happy with today's game? Yeah, we got three points. I'm glad I won. I agree we lost focus in the second half. I told the team. [...]
Are you happy with today's game?
Yeah, we got three points. I'm glad I won. I agree we lost focus in the second half. I told the team. We're having a great season. Today I'm tolerate the second part because we've won, but for Wednesday we need more strength.
How important is Danny Olmo?
He knows how to score, and today it was very important. But Fermín also did very well against Bayer. Olmo is back, we're happy with his debut.
Is it hard to change your first three?
I didn't want to make many changes in the second half. We've reduced the tension. Sometimes I change the attackers, but today I'm focused on the midfield. We wanted to put the focus there. The fight went differently today. The three players we have ahead are excellent. In the next fight we have to be on another level.
Ferran Torres' situation...
I understand he's not able to play or come see us. There are things more important than football under these circumstances.
Deputy of Koundé?
It was my decision.
What position do you see De Jong?
He can play with Casado. De Jong has a very good number eight, but six. When he entered, it was not easy. We've made many mistakes. For those who entered the second part, it has not been easy.
How's Cassadó?
We're very happy with him. It's really improved, and it's nice to see it. He's playing great.
