Frick: Will help Yamal develop the right way I want to leave all the players

At 3:30 am on August 24, Barcelona will play away against Levante in the second round of the 2025-26 La Liga. Before the game, Barcelona coach Frick attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About Levante

- They have excellent defense and do a good job in offense and defense conversion. When they get the ball back, it’s very fast and we have to be very careful, and that’s what I show to the players.

About Cassado and his future

-I have already talked to him, he doesn't want to leave, and I hope he can stay. It will be a tough season and we need all the existing players. He gave us confidence, and that's what I expected of him. It's not easy for the coach, but we need all the players.

The match on Mallorca

- To be honest, we are very happy to win in Mallorca and get 3 points in the first match. I've been a player and I know what happens on the court, but for me it's important to improve our level in this kind of game. There is no excuse in my opinion, you have to focus on the game plan, I told them this after the game, I think they understand, I'm not worried.

About DeJong

-You know I rarely talk about who will start, nor today. De Jong is always ready for the starter, but today I don't want to talk about that.

About away matches

-I don't think this is a disadvantage, we focus on the next game, against Levante, and then we focus on the next game. That's how it is, I live in the present. The most important thing is to change the things you can change, not the things you can’t control.

About Gerald Martin

- I hope he can play against Levante, I have talked to him, this is my job, we will see what will happen tomorrow.

About De Jong's replacement

- Garvey or Cassado, they can both play that position.

Regarding Lewandowski's situation

- We'll take a look, I think it depends on the progress of the game. On the ninth position, we have some options. Ferran Torres scored, which is his best reason to play. But we'll see what Lewandowski is like, and if he can play, we'll get him into the roster.

About Fermin

-I can only repeat what I said before, now I don't want to lose any players. It will be a tough season and we need players as capable as Fermin. He did a great job last season and early this season, I was very happy with him and I wanted to keep all the players.

About Badji

-He will not register for this game, but he trains very hard, both in terms of attitude and mental state, which helps us improve the overall strength of the team. I told him and other young players that they were doing very well but they needed to play. They will play for 45 or 60 minutes and tomorrow we will bring one or two young players, hoping they will register next week.

About the desire for victory and the comparison with Barca where Guardiola is coaching

- I think there is a big difference between me and Guardiola, and for me, it's another level. I also want to win more wins, like him, but the level is different.

About Yamaldai's crown celebration

-I don't care what others say about my team. He is 18 years old and is an excellent player. I will help him develop the right way, and that's the most important thing. And he's been very good as I see him.

About Rashford's position

—Of course, he gave us more options, and he felt better as a starter. His touch, his speed…he has been a great help to our style of play and we can enjoy the wonderful performance of Rashford this season.
