“We lost Thursday’s match and it was a lesson for us, but we will move forward. We have to accept the defeat and focus on the game against Girona.”
Focus Shifts to Girona
Looking ahead to the upcoming clash with Girona FC, Flick warned of a well-structured and courageous opponent.
“We expect an organized opponent, well positioned, who will try to play bravely. Of course, it’s important for us to find more sharpness and dynamism compared to the last match,” he concluded.
