"Flick is working very well on tactics and the improvement is showing"

Barcelona continue their American tour and are already preparing for the 'Clasico' against Real Madrid next Sunday morning. Before the game, Marc Casado took the opportunity to analyse the current 'Cule' situation, as well as his own form.

"We don't know how, we don't speak to each other, but with one look we can feel it, and I think that on the pitch you can see that there is that connection. The truth is that we feel very comfortable. We've been playing together on the pitch for a whole season," he said of his rapport with fellow academy player Marc Bernal.

The player also had words of praise for Flick: "He's a very close coach. He works very well tactically. Physically, we're seeing a good improvement. He has shown confidence from day one. He communicates a lot with us".

"It helps us a lot in many things. Not just the midfielders, but everyone. But for the midfielders he tries to help us make the passes that he makes," he said of Thiago Alcantara's work in the team.

On his resemblance to Kimmich: "I don't know. They tell me that physically I look a little bit like him. Last season I ended up playing full-back and midfield, which in the end is what he does. There's a joke in the dressing room.

The clash against Madrid: "Playing against Real Madrid is always special, it's a 'Clasico', although we're approaching it as a pre-season friendly, which will help us to continue improving"."I'm working game by game to be able to show 100%", concluded Marc Casado.
