September 27th news at 0:30 am on September 29th, in the 7th round of the 2025-26 La Liga, Barcelona will play against Real Sociedad at home. Before the game, Barcelona coach Frick attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team.

About Real Sociedad

-What we see is that they have clear ideas and want to organize the offense from the backcourt. They have very strong forwards, very skilled, and very smart. This is a great opportunity for us to show our potential.

Regarding the injury of Joan-Garcia and Szczesny

- He did a great job, but these things are possible. Szczesny is back. We won almost every game in the second half of last season and we won three championships. He is a very good goalkeeper and I have no doubts about him.

About Yamal

- Whether it is a substitute or a starter, he will definitely get a few minutes of playing time tomorrow. As for whether the Spanish national team recruited him, this is not my job, but the decision of the national team coach.

About the Champions League match against Paris Saint-Germain

- We are always focused on the next match, tomorrow we will play against Real Sociedad after that, and after that we will see how we prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain. We have achieved four victories so far and hope to continue this momentum. No matter how many players are injured, we focus on those who can play.

About Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid match

- I think I'll watch this game, which is normal. I watch a lot of games often, and it's a great opportunity for me to watch. Two great teams, yes, I'll watch this game.

About Monthui's lawn

-I wish the lawn was in good condition, I've seen some pictures and they handled it very quickly and it was excellent. We will see the actual situation tomorrow, but I believe it will be very good.

About Tony Fernandez

-At present, I think the best way is to play with the best players, let them keep improving and learn from the best players. Tony Fernandez has always been an option to play. He has not played in the last few games, but he has always had a chance and he is a choice.

About Busquets will retire after the season - I don't like looking back, but we all enjoyed that midfield combination, which was incredible and extraordinary. I admire him very much.

Regarding whether Yamal's injury may recur?

- I don't have that feeling, we're glad he's back and he's an option for tomorrow's game.

Regarding team injuries

- This is not common to us, but injuries do happen. What we are doing is reviewing the situation and finding out why, this is our job. We are an excellent team, we analyze every game, every training... and constantly adjust.

About the number of weeks of player injury

—As a coach, dealing with injuries is part of my job, and I like this kind of challenge. We have a very good team, very good players, and we only focus on things we can control.
