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.
Hehehe that's look funny, but seriously, Hansi Flick punishment is good for unity's because everyone will do all of his best to come for training on time. Regarding punishment, I will tell you the real time story of Kounda. In the first matches against Alaves, when the training was going on, all the players arrived on time for training, but Kounda arrived late for the training session. The next day when the line up show for the match was done, Kounda was removed from the starting lineup. This punishment of Hansi Flick was made a joke by some people but in fact this punishment is the best way to bring discipline to the team. After this match, Koinda also never came late for training secession. And this incident was also narrated by Pedri.
Anyway Hansi Flick's training session proved to be very effective. Because of Hansi Flick, the players are motivated enough, everyone is performing very well, especially the front 3 Lawandoski, Raphina, and Yamal Jamal.
