The relationship between German coach Hans Flick, the coach of the Spanish team Barcelona, and some of the players he trained at Bayern Munich has not ended, despite his departure from the club.
Barcelona’s press highlighted a warm embrace between Flick and Canadian Alphonso Davies, Bayern’s full-back, after Barca’s 4-1 victory over the Bavarian giants in the Champions League last Wednesday evening.
The Catalan newspaper Sport reported that the warm embrace between Flick and Davies confirms the strength of the relationship between them, which Barcelona and the German coach may exploit to bring the player to Camp Nou.
Davies is strongly linked to leaving Bayern at the end of the season, but Real Madrid remains the closest destination for the player, who has so far rejected the idea of renewing his contract with the German club.
Barcelona believes that the idea of signing Davies will greatly benefit the team due to his high quality, which is something the club may leverage with Flick’s good relationship with the Canadian international, clearly evident after yesterday’s match.
Davies saw with his own eyes how Barcelona developed under Flick and became a team capable of competing with the continent’s big clubs, achieving a deserved victory with a large score. This match may be a turning point in his decision regarding his future.
