Flick after Rayo rout: Barcelona need to learn to control the game better

Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick commented on his team's convincing 5-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league match. The German expert positively assessed the start of the season, but emphasized that his team still needs to work on controlling the game and possession of the ball. "We played fantastic in the first half. We reacted well to conceding a goal - it happens. But at home we need to control the game better and have more possession. That's our mentality. Some of our players always want to go forward and attack, but sometimes you have to slow the game down. The most important thing is three points. We started the season well. "Rhodri is here to help control the game at certain times. He still needs to add because he's only been with us for a few days. We need to have more control, especially against such a strong opponent. Rayo Vallecano have a lot of players who are good at finding open areas and are also dangerous in set pieces," said Flick. We will remind you that Barcelona agreed with Arsenal on the transfer of Gabriel Jesus.
