The German won his second title with Barça and beat Madrid for the third time with a team built on demanding standards and clear rules.
Hansi Flick achieved a significant and prestigious victory against Real Madrid . He had previously beaten them twice with Barça, once in La Liga (0-4) and once in the Spanish Super Cup (2-5), where he also won a title, albeit of lesser importance. The Copa del Rey is already a big deal, and beating Real Madrid by coming from behind has a powerful media and psychological impact.
The best part is that Flick has managed to assemble a team that's incredibly tough to beat, resilient to unimaginable limits, and where excuses, even justified ones, have no place. And the German coach has achieved this by projecting an ambivalent image of a friendly yet ultra-demanding manager. And not just with the players, but also with the management.
It's well known that Flick is very strict about lateness, and anyone who arrives late to a match talk doesn't make the cut. Koundé can attest to that. In fact, he's dropped him from the starting lineup the three times he's been distracted on matchday. But then Flick also knows how to forgive and appreciate hard work and dedication, and in that, the Frenchman is an example to everyone.
The Barça coach highly values teamwork and the fact that the entire group is united and feels like a family. An example of this is that, with him on the bench, there was recently a change with the company that catered the first team's food. As a result of this situation, the usual cook at the Ciutat Esportiva stopped coming to work. It wasn't that she had been fired, but rather that the change in supplier meant the staff changed. But Flick insisted that she had to be brought back, and finally, thanks to her persistence, she was hired. This is a testament to Flick's appreciation for people who do their jobs well and excel.
Speaking of nutrition, the German coach is so meticulous that he even called on club officials to monitor the quality of the eggs the team consumes (they range from size 0, organic from free-range hens, to size 3, from caged hens). Because the German wants the best for his team at every level.
Furthermore, he doesn't shy away from anyone. He implemented a team uniform policy, requiring players to travel and arrive at the stadium dressed the same. And on the tour of the United States, seeing that the executives each dressed however they wanted to at club events, the president told him that this aspect had to be taken care of. Since then, executives and managers have also worn uniforms on team trips. And the president.
Flick seeks excellence from the details
