Barcelona’s 4-0 victory over bitter rivals Real Madrid was a reminder that this Catalan team is unlike any of its renditions in the recent past.
Their ongoing winning streak isn’t just a fluke, for the team has shown exceptional character, commitment and winning mentality, all of which can be attributed to one man: Hansi Flick.
Hansi Flick’s battle-hardened approach
To that end, a recent report from SPORT has offered an insightful piece on Hansi Flick and his coaching technique at Barcelona.
It appears Flick has sparked a new spirit within FC Barcelona, quickly unifying a team that performs as one under any circumstance.
His approach to squad management, characterized by high-intensity sessions and individualized support, has made quite a difference.
Following Barcelona’s decisive victory over Real Madrid, the Blaugrana squad was back on the pitch at Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper early the next morning, despite only a few hours of rest.

Each and every Barcelona is involved
In addition to his no-nonsense approach when it comes to training and preparing for matches, Flick puts great emphasis on one-on-one interactions.
This was evident when the German took some time out to speak with Lamine Yamal heading into the Clasico this past weekend.
The report suggests Flick has fostered a unified and intense team culture where every player, whether a starter or substitute, is fully engaged and prepared to contribute.
Following the victory, Flick had the entire squad, even those who hadn’t played, out on the training field for high-intensity sessions, showing his commitment to keeping everyone “plugged in.”
His hands-on approach keeps each player ready to step up when needed, which perhaps explains how each and every Barcelona player has stepped up to the plate this season.
