It starts at 3:00 on September 15th! Barcelona coach Frick attended the pre-match press conference.

What is the evaluation of Valencia's game?

Their head coach is building a very good tactical system that can adapt well to different opponents.

About Yamal

No, he cannot play tomorrow. He played with discomfort during the national team game. He played for 75-78 minutes with the potential for injury, and there was no training between the two games. This is not a way to care about the players at all. I think the Spanish national team has a strong team and top players in the world, but they have not taken good care of their own players, and I feel very sorry for this news.

Cruyff Stadium

No, when you know the specific situation, this does not affect it. I communicated with the Chairman and he explained the situation to me. I am confident that this will not affect the team. There is no excuse, we must win tomorrow, the team needs to stay focused, and you must win when it is time to win. We must have a good attitude, show a positive attitude on the court, and let me see what I want to see. The most important thing for me is always the team, always the team, not a certain player, the entire team, and thinking about what the team needs to contribute to. We have incredible fans, I love working for this club, living in this city, nothing has changed. We must fight for 90 minutes or even longer, and strive for three points with all our might.

and Delafuent communicated with Yamal's situation?

I have never spoken to him and even though I have sent a text message, I have never had a direct conversation. I wasn't very good at Spanish, and he wasn't proficient in English, but at the end of the day we could have communicated more smoothly, and it wasn't just one player who was affected, but more. I've experienced this, but communication with the club has to be done and has to be kept well.

De Jong and Bernal

De Jong will not be able to play tomorrow. Bernal will not be on the starting eleven players, but will be on the bench. This is the next step in his recovery process and he can play. I'm really looking forward to seeing him on the court and getting him more playing time.

Regarding Garvey

I have emphasized many times that Garvey is the heart of this team. His fighting spirit on the green field and his attitude towards the club. After he suffered that serious injury, I did worry about what might happen to him during training. But I want to say that the only thing he has to do now is to train hard without putting too much pressure on himself. He needs to gradually return to his best condition and we need him to be confident in his knees and body.

Tiago

I am very happy with his return, and everyone was excited, and I am especially happy. It was no easy task to convince him to join. He will contribute with his player experience and become an extremely experienced and important member of the coaching team. I saw with my own eyes how young players listened to his guidance attentively.

Is Yamal's injury the back?

No, it is discomfort in the groin area. Relevant inspections have been conducted and the absence will be confirmed tomorrow, and there are also questions about the game against Newcastle.

Will the players adapt to the game at Cruyff Stadium?

I have communicated with them and they made it clear that this would not have any impact. This cannot be an excuse, and I will not use it as a reason. Valencia also wants to fight on this site, and we defeated Como here before. Is the referee issue discussed at the coaching meeting?

I cannot change the status quo, this is the job of La Liga and referees, and they should handle these matters. Although the situation is not simple, I think things can improve, but that is not my responsibilities.

"Self-kill success", do you don't like this statement and make those remarks?

For me, all kinds of situations that occur on the court and in the locker room are problems that I need to solve. Ultimately, when the game starts, I want everyone to focus on the teamโ€™s interests and everyone knows what they should do. Even if there are mistakes, they can be corrected in time. This is the difference between excellent players and outstanding players, and this is also the scene I hope to see in the team. Everyone must be clear about their responsibilities. If you think you have only paid 50% today, this is far from enough. Fans deserve 100% of their efforts. It was this spirit that won us the championship last season, and now we have to return to this right path.
