Flick is happy with Gavi's performance


La Liga champions Barcelona defeated FC Seoul 7-3 in a friendly match at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, thanks to goals from Robert Lewandowski, Yamal, Andreas Christensen, Ferran Torres, and Gavi. Flick said his team made some mistakes that needed to be addressed, but was also pleased with Gavi's outstanding performance.


Yamal's low shot hit the post in the 8th minute of the game, and Lewandowski then made a follow-up shot to help Barcelona take the lead 1-0. In the 14th minute, Yamal tried to attack but was blocked, and then Yamal scored directly from long range to help Barcelona continue to lead Seoul FC 2-0.


In the 26th minute, Cho Young-wook scored against Barcelona, putting FC Seoul back in the lead at 1-2. In first-half stoppage time, Yazan received a pass from a teammate and fired a low shot into the box, tying the score at 2-2. Two minutes later, Olmo assisted Yamar to score, giving Barcelona the lead again at 3-2.


In the 55th minute of the second half, Christensen connected on a diagonal pass from Gavi and scored with a long-range shot, extending Barcelona's lead to 4-2. In the 74th minute, Ferran Torres volleyed into the box, putting Barcelona 5-2. Gavi then followed up a pass from a teammate with a low shot, making it 6-2.


In the 85th minute, Jung Han-min scored with a shot, helping FC Seoul to a 3-6 lead. Three minutes later, Rashford assisted Ferran To's low shot. In the end, Barcelona defeated FC Seoul 7-3.


Barcelona coach Hansi Flick said: "We made some mistakes and these are problems that must be solved."


In addition, the 20-year-old Gavi contributed a goal and an assist in this game and performed very well.


Talking about the midfielder's performance, Flick said, "I saw what I wanted to see in him. It's good news that he can be in such a state, and we saw the excellent Gavi at the end of last season."


"He has the ability to play as a No. 6 or a No. 8 and that's what I want to see from Gavi, driving the team forward and wearing the captain's armband. It's a very pleasant performance."


As for the status of other players, Flick said, "Each player was originally scheduled to play for 45 minutes, but for Eric Garcia and Inigo Martinez, they need to be protected more because they were a little unwell before."
