Frick: I am happy with Barcelona s performance in Gambel s Cup, and communication with Ter Stegen is crucial
In the Gambel Cup held early this morning, Barcelona defeated Cuomo 5-0 at home. Barcelona coach Frick was interviewed after the game.
Can you accept interviews in Spanish now?
Thank you very much for your suggestion, but I think we should continue to use English.
Barcelona won five goals in this game in Gambel Cup. What do you think about this?
We did a good job in possession of the ball and creating opportunities. I think we can also make some adjustments in applying pressure, but I'm already happy.
What do you think of the several new players Barcelona has introduced this summer?
We are very satisfied with them. The team's strength has been improved, and that's what we want to introduce these three new players, and they are understanding what we want from them.
Inigo Martinez has terminated his contract and left Barcelona and joined the Saudi team Riyadh to win
I admire Inigo Martinez very much, he is an important part of our success last season. He received that offer and asked us (departure) that he deserved such an option. And for other players, it's also an opportunity, they can now get more playing time and make progress.
Will Barcelona sign another defender to fill the gap next?
I will talk to Deco and let's see what happens next. But I don't think so.
Barcelona has settled with Ter Stegen, and now he has resumed his position as captain and has made a pre-season speech before this Gamble Cup match. I am very happy about this and it is not easy to deal with this situation. Ter Stegen is a very important player in the club and an excellent goalkeeper who has played for Barcelona for 11 years. But signing a new goalkeeper is also important to the team's future, and we have Joan Garcia, which is a good signing. I've talked to Ter Stegen and it's very important for us to solve this before the season begins. Conversation is very important, communication is key, and this has been proven.
