Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick was unhappy with his team's performance in the first round of the Spanish La Liga, against Mallorca (3:0). In the 39th minute, two players from the home team received red cards. In the 23rd minute, the "blues" were leading 2:0.
"I didn't like the game. These are three important points, but I didn't like the game. After 2-0 and two dismissals, the team started playing at 50%. I have to talk about it [with the team], I didn't like it."
"The team has to control the ball and the game, but they also have to score goals. All I can say is that we cannot play at 50-60% against nine players," Flick was quoted as saying by Movistar.
