I think Flick is calm and motivated. He is a person who is passionate about Barcelona, ​​has character, and is sensitive to young players. I see that he is very motivated. Although being the coach of Barcelona is very stressful, he is enjoying it all."

About the stadium renovation?

"It's been 15 years and nothing has been done since. When we took over we thought we had to revamp in order to compete at a high level, and that's what we did. I think we did it in a fairly short period of time, about two and a half years. The results have been very good, including the work in Montjuïc Same thing. Criticism? I don't like looking back now that the stadium has become a reality. Barcelona fans gave us encouragement because they knew it had to be done."

"A lot of fans asked us to give them the opportunity to watch Barcelona games on Spotify. Limak was chosen as a partner. They are very passionate about the project and very much want everything to go well. We have not had any accidents among the workers so far and this is one of the most important projects in Southern Europe. We have been very careful and they wanted to add more workers but this was not possible due to regulations. . If there are any problems, we will take appropriate measures to solve them, but I am satisfied with Limak. "

"The construction is going very smoothly. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, the third level stand will be put into use at the beginning of next season, as will the VIP boxes, which is very important for the refinancing of the stadium."
