Frick: I m glad that Yamal returns and creates opportunities immediately, Barcelona wants to defend the top spot

In the 7th round of La Liga held in the early morning of this morning, Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 at home. Barcelona coach Frick was interviewed after the game.

You guys shot more than 20 times in the game, but winning is not easy...

Yes, it's a team win because they know how to handle the ball at every moment. We had difficulties, but we finally won. How important is a set ball?

The opponents use low post defense more in the first half, and one of our plans is to make good use of the set pieces and adjust them according to the game situation.

Yamar made a comeback, he came on as a substitute and assisted 1 time

I'm glad that Yamal made a comeback, and everyone can see what an excellent player he is. He immediately showed his strength and ability to create opportunities, and having him was great.

You did some rotations in this game, but I think the team is doing well, and it's incredible that we only had 68 hours off from the last game, but the players all showed their best, so I cherish this victory very much. We made some staffing adjustments, but whoever comes out will do it all, and I’m so happy that the players have done it.

Pedri is the only player who has no rest, but he was elected as the best player in the game

Pedri is special, an excellent player and his leadership is improving. He is an incredibly important player and has performed well in every position. Not only can he defend and steal, he is also excellent in possession of the ball, which is very important to us. In addition, he and De Jong cooperated well, and they knew very well what they should do on the court.

You arranged for young player De Ronaldo to start in this game

He is a Barcelona player, he knows what to do in the last few meters, his presence helps control the playing time of other players, and he has done his best.

How important is it to be Barcelona now that they have risen to the top of the La Liga standings?

I think this is what we deserve, but the season is a long process. Now we are going to work hard to defend this position and it feels good to win and be the leader in the standings.

Your next game will be against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League

We will prepare for that game from tomorrow.
