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.
Well every manager has their own way of punishing their own players and how they lead when they find themselves in a position. But I think Xavi was trying to be more flexible with the players and not to be that strict with his players. I won't even say that Xavi own was the best or Flick pattern of punishment is the best. Xavi achieved his own result with his punishment pattern, but the players won't feel the impact that much, because they are well paid and they will always have the money to pay. But you see this flick pattern, no player will want to come late to training, because players don't like anything that will prevent from playing matches. The truth is that there is a big difference between Xavi led Barcelona and that of Flick.
