Flick: "I don't think it's a problem with the formation or strategy"

He admitted that the problem was the poor first half, although he does not consider it to be a problem of formation or strategy.

On the harshness of the two consecutive defeats in recent days, he pointed out that "the toughest was the semi-final against Inter Milan (last season in UCL)".

"We accept this one and I see it from a positive perspective. I'm not saying it's positive and there are things that need to be changed, especially in the first halves. We make mistakes in the first halves and the ball didn't flow in certain areas of the pitch, but today it wasn't such a tough match. The Champions League semi-final was," he insisted.

And he reflected: "Egos? Today it has been very different. We have tried everything. When you score more goals than your opponent it is easy to explain, but when you lose it is another thing."
