Since his arrival on the FC Barcelona bench, Hansi Flick has clearly shown some of the most distinct aspects of his management style and personality.
One such attribute that sets him apart from most other individuals is his highly demanding nature, as the German coach rarely seems to be satisfied even when his teams get highly favorable results.
This was quite clear from his propensity to not celebrate some of his team’s goals if there had been an action that he did not like in the build-up phase. Similarly, his demanding nature was also on display as he showed his lack of satisfaction with his team conceding a goal, despite winning the game 5-1 over Sevilla.
But according to SPORT, he not only demands high standard performances from the players that he has available but also from those who are recovering from their physical issues.
The report claims that although the German does not force these players to return as soon as possible, he still expects them to show the commitment to return to the team dynamic as soon as possible.
However, in his first months at Barcelona, the German trainer has also faced some unpleasant situations in this regard.
This was the case with at least one player, who has not been named by SPORT, whom Flick clearly asked to make his commitment to returning to the team clearer by putting in more work in his recovery process.
But this was only one instance, as Flick never sets the deadlines for players to return, and trusts his staff in this regard. He also understands that every player is different, not only in the threshold of pain they can endure, but also in their individual approaches to recovering from injuries.
But still, he wants to see his players giving their all to be available as soon as possible, and he is not reluctant to undertake a hard conversation to get his desired results.
