Press reports revealed that Barcelona coach Hansi Flick was furious with a player due to his behavior. Flick does not hesitate to take a firm stance in order to maintain discipline among his players. He is capable of transforming into a strict enforcer when necessary.
One of the players who has encountered this strict side of Flick the most is French defender Jules Koundé, who has repeatedly been reported late to training sessions and meetings this season. He has been late once for a training session and three times for team meetings.

The German coach’s anger reached its peak when Koundé was late for a third team meeting on the day of Barcelona’s match against Rayo Vallecano. The meeting took place at the Torre Melina Gran Melia Hotel, and the coach waited by the door while the rest of the players were inside.
When Koundé arrived, Flick slammed the door so hard that it nearly broke and shouted at the player, expressing his anger at his repeated behavior.
The punishment was not limited to a reprimand; he was also removed from the starting lineup for the match and may face a fine, according to team regulations.
According to information from the Spanish newspaper ‘‘El Nacional‘‘, Hansi Flick warned the French star for the last time that if this happens again, he will be excluded from the bench until the end of the season.
