Hansi Flick (61 years old), the coach of Barcelona, held the press conference prior to the duel at home with Celta Vigo, in the 33rd stage of La Liga. The game was scheduled for Wednesday, April 22, starting at 10:30 p.m.
In case of success, the Catalans will get even closer to the title. They are the leaders at the moment, with 79 points, 9 more than Real Madrid, the rival and main contender.
Flick he prefaced the game and talked about the contract extension. The agreement between the two parties expires in July 2027, and the technician stated that he is keen to extend it.
Hansi Flick wants to continue at Barcelona: “I'm honest”
“We have faced Celta three times and in all three games they have given us problems. We have to play at the highest level. It will not be an easy game, Celta have players who control the game and who are very good in the lanes.
Every season is a journey. The elimination from the Champions League was painful. But we have to give our best in the next games and next season. This should motivate us, we have to improve. I'm proud of my team.
Now we focus on the championship, where we have an advantage, but the fight is not over yet. It won't be easy. We want to play as well as possible. We have to give everything. Everyone is proud of the team because they gave it their all.
I would like two things. The first is to win the Champions League and I think we can do it in the coming years. We have to make the right decisions in the transfer market… without being silly. There is a good structure.
And the second thing I want is to be the coach of Barcelona when the new Camp Nou is finished, although I don't know when that will happen.
I am very happy and satisfied with how everything works here. It's like being part of a big family. Now we have to focus on what we have left
My plan is to extend my contract, I'm 100% honest. This will be the last step in my career. I feel very well. I would like to renew, but now is not the time to talk about it.
The feeling is very good: the atmosphere in the dressing room is great… The Champions League is a motivation. It is the dream of the club and the fans. We have to be united and try again and again… and we hope it will come very soon,” Hansi Flick said at the press conference, according to Marca.
