The Balearic Islands, who were very good in the first half, could not find an answer to a Barcelona that, as is customary this season, offers a better performance in the second halves. Despite the victory, Hansi Flick, Barcelona's coach, stated that 'he was not happy with the first half' because Barcelona did not play at its level: 'We were not dynamic, the passes were slow. We leave with three points, three goals, and a clean sheet. Finally, after the debut of young Tommy Marqués with the first team, the tenth canterano to make his debut under Flick's orders, Barcelona's coach has responded: 'This is our way of doing things, it is good for the club.' He also revealed what he told his players at halftime: 'I asked them if they were satisfied with the first half and they said no. And the second half was much better. It's a good day for us.' The relationship between the boys from La Masia is totally different. Between Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Marc Bernal, they sorted out the mess for Barcelona in which Mallorca complicated the match at the Spotify Camp Nou, a 3-0 victory that places Hansi Flick's side four points clear at the top of the table. Regarding Marc Casadó's starting role, he has commented that 'he is very professional' and 'deserves to play', but has also insisted that 'we have to manage the minutes' of the other midfielders. 'We have shown them what they could improve in positioning and in the intention of the passes.' On the other hand, the German coach has attributed the team's bad starts in recent matches to the accumulation of games, and has emphasized that this Thursday against Atlético de Madrid in the Copa del Rey he expects 'to see another team from the first minute.' That was the case for Frenkie de Jong, who was left out because 'he was not feeling well.' 'We were not at 100% with the right mentality and attitude.' 'It's something I love,' Flick has said. Flick has opined that the referee should have pointed to a penalty on Lamine Yamal and has explained that his substitution in the second half was due to the management of his minutes.
