"Dro shocked the entire club when he informed them of his choice to leave in search of more playing time in France, and Flick had a very strong initial response in which he didn't address Dro directly but made it very clear he was hurt and angry with the people around Dro who influenced the teenager's decision to leave so abruptly."
"I've changed my mind, I don't want to say anything anymore. I really loved this boy. Of course I am disappointed. But it's football. We have to respect this decision. I am disappointed of course. He knows it, but I loved this boy. Here he also had a great future. He made another decision. I respect it, this is football."
Hansi Flick expressed disappointment and ultimately respect after Dro Fernández chose to leave Barcelona for Paris Saint-Germain seeking more playing time. The teenager's abrupt decision shocked the club and initially provoked a strong, hurt response from Flick directed at those influencing the move rather than at Dro himself. Flick softened his stance at a later press conference, emphasizing affection for Dro, acknowledging a promising future at Barcelona, and accepting that football decisions can be beyond individual control. Flick reiterated that he loved the player, remained disappointed, and insisted the player's choice must be respected.
