🚨🚨 Hansi Flick: “It’s possible that Cancelo plays a few minutes tomorrow; that’s what we have in mind.”
“João is fantastic—an excellent footballer, very professional, and blessed with great quality. He’s a very good option for us at that level.”
“I’m very happy with the current situation. From my very first hours here, I had a very clear feeling: working together. Today, it’s like a family. The president said it himself. Not only the players, but also the staff, the club, the executives, Deco, the fathers, the mothers, the brothers, the sisters… We form one big family, and I really appreciate what we’ve built. I had already felt this in Saudi Arabia, and the situation is excellent. I place great value on this culture.”
“What we’ve built is something special, and that’s why it’s like this—like a family. The team is connected, the atmosphere in the dressing room is exceptional, so it’s wonderful to have that. I’m happy to be able to enjoy here this culture that I love so much. I’m very happy and I truly appreciate it.”
"Racing Santander is a young team that plays very good football, they are very active. It's a cup match and we must be ready from the very beginning.
"With Joan Garcia in goal, I am happy and calm. We managed to achieve this, and quite well at that. We witnessed a high-quality final both on our side and on Real Madrid's side. Playing against them with one man down is not easy, and we are very pleased that they didn't score a third goal. We have a goalkeeper who performed excellently. We won 3:2 and I am very satisfied with what I saw."
“We have 24 hours to decide who will play tomorrow. Araújo is training well and could get some playing time. We have some players who are fatigued, and we need to make a decision.”
