The 2025-26 season for Barça is about to begin, and Hansi Flick has decided to make it clear from day one what the path will be. With no room for relaxation, the German coach has focused on hard work and consistency to keep achieving success.
A preseason without rest
After more than a month of vacation, the blaugrana players returned this Sunday to the club's facilities to undergo medical tests. From that point on, the schedule is packed. Flick doesn't want a single day off this first week and has designed a very demanding training plan.
The team will have double training sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while the other days will be shorter workdays, either in the morning or in the afternoon. This planning reflects the intensity with which Flick wants to start preparing for the campaign. No rest; the effort starts right now.
Leaving past successes behind
The previous season was brilliant for Barcelona. They won La Liga, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup, a treble that reaffirms the team's level. However, Flick knows that soccer doesn't forgive and that living off what has been achieved is useless.
"The past is just that, the past", seems to be the coach's philosophy. No matter how important the titles have been, the team must look ahead and be clear that rivals aren't standing still either. The level of demand has increased, and the squad knows it.
Internal demands, key for the future
It's not just Flick who puts on the pressure; many players also have their own high goals. For example, Lamine and other footballers have set ambitious objectives. That helps create an environment of healthy competition and a desire for improvement.
To reach these goals, daily work will be essential. The German coach wants every player to give their best in every training session, in every tactical session, and in every moment of physical preparation. This is how a strong and united team is built.
The message is clear: work and grow
Flick's message is simple but powerful: "We're going to work a lot." It's a statement that goes beyond words, because it implies commitment, discipline, and a desire to improve.
The season is just beginning, and Barça needs to keep being a competitive team, one that doesn't let its guard down and fights for every title. The coach's planning shows that there's no time for relaxation, only for intense and constant preparation.
With this mentality, Barcelona is getting started. The goal is clear, and the will to achieve it is stronger than ever. The 2025-26 season promises to be exciting, and the first step has already been taken: hard work from the very first minute.
