Barcelona played very freely, without any pressure and the relationship between the players was very harmonious. The players also experienced an increase in performance after being coached by Hansi Flick. Several young players began to take important roles in the main squad and their positions were very difficult to replace. The trust given by Hansi Flick makes Barcelona one of the strong candidates to win the La Liga trophy.

Pedri explained how Flick's punishments had changed compared to Xavi's, if players were late for training during Xavi's time, they would pay for it, 1,000 euros per minute of delay, and every subsequent minute the amount would double. Under Flick, everything is different, if you are late for training, you will not be in the starting lineup, or will be left out of the game's roster altogether.

I think Flick's punishment was more severe. It doesn't give a financial punishment but he can't find time in the match that week. Just think, your most important weapon doesn't come to training and Flick doesn't let him play in the match in order not to break discipline. This is a big threat to the other players. I'm sure everyone comes to training on time.

Hansi Flick's way of making rules to discipline his players is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, there are advantages because in this way, players will never be late for training and have the opportunity to gain trust from the coach. In addition, it will improve the player's mentality. However, on the other hand, when a player breaks the rules but has a high work ethic on the field or in other words contributes a lot, he will still be crossed out. This is an unavoidable risk.
But for now, Hansi Flick is considered successful in doing so.

I think a player with high work capacity would not be late for training on purpose. I am sure the manager has a justice system that will ensure that those who are late unintentionally are not included in this scope. What Hansi Flick has done in Barcelona is magnificent. He is literally writing history with Barcelona. They are playing magnificent matches in both the Champions League and the Spanish league this year without much reinforcement to the squad that was left last year. I think this can best be called a tactical difference.
