In the 11th round of La Liga, Barcelona defeated Elche 3-1 at home. After the game, right back Hector Ford, who was loaned to Elche from Barcelona this summer, accepted an interview with DAZN, during which he talked about Flick and Yamal.

This was the first time Ford wore the jersey of another team against Barcelona. After the game, he had a cordial conversation with Flick. "He is a very close person. He cares about my injury and asks me if I am happy in Elche. I am very grateful for his concern."

During the game, Ford faced his good friend Yamal. He said: "For me, Yamal is not only a player in everyone's eyes, but also my friend. We Spent a lot of time together and shared a lot of things. I was happy to face him on the court and I thought I performed well, maybe he was a little tired. As for trying to shoot, there is always a little more motivation when facing my hometown fans and former teammates, but unfortunately the result was not ideal."
