Hansi Flick: Morale is low, but let's forget Chelsea. Barcelona only thinks about the La Liga match

The defeat against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, given the team's performance, their overall impression and the catastrophic defeat, has clearly affected the Barcelona dressing room.
Hansi Flick admitted in a press conference ahead of this weekend's match against Alaves that the 3-0 defeat has shaken them. He is not worried, having spoken to the players. He believes they have the potential to turn things around, although he did not hide the fact that "morale is low". For Flick, when you lose and concede goals, "it is very easy to say that it was not a good game, but there are people who do not know what and how we should play with such a high defensive line".
He explained: "It's not just about the defenders, it's about the forwards, the midfield, everyone's ability to press. It seems like the defence is being blamed, but that's not fair. If we don't press well as a unit, we're always going to have problems."
The German coach believes that the team had good moments at Stamford Bridge, although it needs to improve. The Barcelona coach believes that the team has enough strength and potential to overcome the defeat in the Champions League as soon as possible and without regrets. "With the return of players like Pedri, we will have more quality, more control and we will be closer to where we want to be." Regarding the fight to regain first place in La Liga, Flik stressed that "we are only thinking about beating Alaves," revealing the atmosphere in the locker room. "We all feel bad. However, we talked about it in training today and I see a good momentum, a good intensity and that is exactly what I sometimes missed during the match against Chelsea." He added: "We have confidence with and without the ball, but we have to show it on the pitch."
In the end, after much media insistence on the statement that Barça will return and that he is confident in this, Flik said that he stands by what he said, believing that this phase is temporary and will end soon. "When we lose and when we concede three goals, it is easy to say that it was not a good match and it was not the Barça we wanted to be. I said that I am optimistic because we did some things well, but we have to improve, especially in attack. I want to see what I see in training, which I like: the players have quality, they are focused, Pedri is back. Pedri, Rafinha, Markus, they will contribute. I want to see in the match what I see in training. And I tell the players what I see. And I told you that too. We are in a good moment and the feeling is good. We will work on it.
We need to recover from the "defeat". The German coach also spoke about Fermin's absence due to a calf injury, which he did not attribute to a tackle from Sanset, but to his boots. "This is football and these things happen. Sometimes it's related to new boots. They have new boots every month. The tackle affected him a little, but he was not seriously injured. He was fine during the match, but afterwards he mentioned that his calf was hurting."
