Flick Tells Barça's Black Sheep: 'If You Want to Play, There Are Things That...'

The German coach has managed to transform the locker room with his firm style, but there is still one case that worries him

Hansi Flick has been Barça's best signing in a long time, and since his arrival, he has revolutionized the internal dynamics of the locker room. With him, Barça has gained identity on both sides of the field. The defense is solid, and the attack flows naturally.

Flick, Demands and Results at Barça

The German has shown that he knows how to manage complex locker rooms. He has recovered talents that seemed lost. He keeps a discourse consistent with his decisions.

In a short time, he has brought order and motivation along with results that follow, and his figure is consolidating. The fans are enthusiastic about his way of managing, but not everything is perfect for Flick, as there is one case that resists him. For now, he hasn't managed to fully redirect it.

Ansu Fati, Flick's Pending Case

It's about the number '10', one of the most beloved by the fans. Ansu Fati has gone from promise to almost invisible presence. Currently, he is one of the highest-paid in the locker room.

His lack of minutes has caused many doubts. His performance, when he has played, hasn't convinced. Until now, he seemed out of Flick's project.

However, something changed this week. In the match against Dortmund, Ansu Fati had minutes again. His appearance was not accidental.

Ansu Fati, Unexpected Opportunity at Barça

Flick spoke clearly in the post-match press conference. "I've spoken several times with Ansu Fati," he said frankly. He left a direct message: "There are things I want to see."

The coach doesn't give anything away to anyone, and he says so: "I never promise minutes," Flick insisted. "It depends on each situation and the needs of the matches." The message is clear: it depends on himself, as if Ansu Fati gives what Hansi Flick expects, he could feel important again, but he must prove it day by day.

Flick Sends a Warning to Ansu Fati

The German coach seeks commitment and constant effort. He wants to see attitude in training. Also positive responses on the field.

It's not just about talent, but about consistency, as Flick demands total involvement in every minute played. Whoever doesn't give their all is left out. Ansu Fati knows it and seems to have received the message with his entry against Dortmund.

The future of the '10' is still hanging in the air, but it no longer depends solely on technical decisions. Flick has opened a door that seemed closed, and now it is Ansu Fati himself who must decide which path to follow. If he responds, he could become important at Barça again.
