This Monday, after the team's training camp in England, Barcelona coach Flick gave a media interview and discussed possible new signings.

Summary of this training camp at St. George's Park

I think it was a very pleasant experience, the conditions in all aspects were very good, and it was one of the best training camps I've experienced.

Last season you famously said, "Arrogance destroys success." This season, you have eight world champions in your team. Will preventing player arrogance be one of the main goals this season?

I don't think so. Champions never stop moving forward; they know how to win championships, and that's important. This championship will give them more confidence. They know that if they work hard and stay focused every day, it will eventually pay off, and that's our goal for this season.

You have two more players in attack: Adeyemi and Gordon. What can they bring to the team? Do you think Yamal can play as a false nine?

Lamine has played as a false nine once or twice in our games, and I think as an outstanding player, a world-class player, he can adapt to this role. But his main focus is the number 7 position; we'll see how it goes. Gordon and Adeyemi can play on both wings and also as a number 9, so we actually have many options; let's wait and see.

Today, Tonkara and Tony Fernandez both appeared in the false 9 position. Will we see Fermin in this position more often this season?

Ultimately, it depends on the team's lineup, and we still have to wait. I have absolute confidence in Deco; we know we have to do something, and it also depends on Ferran Torres. Let's see what happens.

Do you plan to sign a midfielder to replace De Jong?

We always consider the team, but we think there are already many midfielders in the team. As for what will happen in the next few weeks, let's wait and see.

How is Balde doing?

He's doing well, performing well. Although he didn't play today, we have to take it one step at a time, I think he will play in the next match in Udine.

Can Bissouma stay in the first team this season? What do you think of him?

He only trained with us for a few days; he just arrived a few days ago, but you can see that he is a talented and fast player, which is good. Currently, our plan is for him to train with us.

Which young player surprised you the most? Why do you say this is one of the best training camps?

First of all, the conditions at St. George's Park are excellent. The (base) is very close to the pitch, close to everything, and the grass conditions are also superb. Compared to my first year at Barcelona in 2024, I think we are stronger this season, not only the first team but also the young players from La Masia are stronger. Of course, Tonkara is an outstanding talent, and Oriol is too. In the match against Birmingham, Javi (Espart) also performed excellently at the number 2 position, and you can see he is in good form in training. In short, based on what I've seen and heard in the past three weeks, I've come to this conclusion.

Espart and Ford, who is more likely to stay?

We'll see. Hector is also very capable, not only fast but also technically good. I think his experience at Elche last season was very beneficial to him and helped him understand what it means to play for Barcelona. He is fully committed to the team, so we'll talk about it then.
