Flick: Im pleased with Szczesnys performance, though I didnt notice his smoking habit

The head coach of Barcelona, **Hans-Dieter Flick**, shared his thoughts on the performance of the 35-year-old goalkeeper, **Wojciech Szczęsny**.

«I’m pleased with Szczęsny and would like him to stay [at the club]. I believe he is happy at Barcelona as well. You know, he smokes a little (makes a characteristic gesture), something I hadn’t noticed before.
