Barça Boss Hansi Flick Urges Patience for Araujo and Gavi Ahead of Oviedo Clash

Barca's Flick emphasizes patience for Araujo and Gavi as Barca prep for Oviedo

Ronald Araújo and Gavi were among the standout names mentioned at Hansi Flick's press conference, held ahead of Barcelona's clash with Real Oviedo.

Asked about the players' condition, Flick said patience with both; the Uruguayan would gradually play more, and Gavi is recovering from a knee injury.

Barcelona is ready to host Real Oviedo on Sunday, in La Liga's 21st round at the Spotify Camp Nou.

In the press conference, Flick spoke about set-pieces, saying there wasn’t time to train them thoroughly, but he trusts the team’s defensive organization.

Asked about watching Villarreal vs Real Madrid, Flick replied it’s early and he isn’t sure if he’ll have the chance.

On Pau Cubarsí, Flick said he’s played plenty recently and isn’t always at his best, but he’s talented and they’re working to improve him.

Bottom line: Flick wants patience, not panic.

If patience is a virtue, Flick just earned a PhD in it.

And if goals are fixed, Barca's defense is a lock.
