‘That is what I can promise’ – Hansi Flick makes vow to Barcelona fans after Chelsea defeat

Barcelona manager Hansi Flick vowed his team will improve after being beaten 3-0 by Chelsea in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The Catalan giants were second best against the Blues, and had to play over half the game with 10 men after Ronald Araujo’s sending off, but Flick says his team will get better.

“We will see a better Barça in the future. That is what I can promise now. I see how we train,” he told reporters.

“The team is different than six weeks ago. Players are coming back and increasing the quality of training. I have this feeling and I think positive.”

Flick also spoke about Barcelona’s opponents and how his players can learn from Enzo Maresca’s side.

“When you see Chelsea, they play more dynamic in the one-v-one situations. This is what I want from my team,” he added.

“Sometimes we try to control the game, but here against a club playing in the Premier League, second in the table, it’s not like that. We have to fight a little bit more and play more aggressive.

“We started the game well. We had the chance to score the first goal and then everything changed after the red card.

The result leaves Barcelona with just seven points from five games and Flick admitted qualification will be tricky: “It will be very difficult, but anything is possible.“
