+++ Flick over Odriozola +++

If you don’t have English weeks, you change your team little. He does it very well, trains a lot good. He takes on his role. It is important that we have this option. “

+++ Flick over team atmosphere +++
“It is important that you have a good team around you. It is important that you have security there. In addition, communication is extremely important. Only when I communicate can I gain knowledge of how the other is doing. It is important to me that things can be addressed openly. We have such a culture at the moment, so I think that is the right way. As long as you win, everything is fine anyway, “says Flick.
