Hansi Flick is the man of miracles at Barça. He's managed to make players like Lewandowski, Raphinha, Koundé, Íñigo Martínez and Pedri reach excellence in their game. But he still has some work to do.
As a man of clubs, Hansi Flick has set out to raise the level of players who haven't performed as well as desired in the past.
Flick Already Tried to Bring Frenkie De Jong to Bayern
He's achieved this with several players, who are back at the top level of their careers. But he has one pending issue that he wants to fix as soon as possible.
This is Frenkie De Jong, a player who has his blessing. Flick already wanted to sign him for Bayern Munich during his time in Bavaria.
Flick showed Frenkie De Jong his confidence in his game by making him play half of a classic at a difficult moment when the goal was to reinforce Barça's superiority.
And the Dutch footballer replied by providing balance in the wide area of the field, where Barça established its dominance over Real Madrid.
Flick Removes Frenkie De Jong's Transfer Status
Flick has taken Frenkie De Jong's transfer status off the table. He's had long conversations with him in which the Dutch player has shown his commitment to the club and his desire to continue at Barça.
The German coach has complete faith in him, to the point of agreeing with Deco on other transfers, if necessary. Araújo would leave Barça before Frenkie De Jong.
Frenkie doesn't have it easy. In Barça's midfield there are high-level players who are performing perfectly: Casadó, Pedri and now Fermín and Gavi. He won't find it easy to be a starter.
But Flick is willing to trust him as a starter if he can earn a place in training, something that is happening. Frenkie has guaranteed minutes for the next matches.
Flick is not unaware that Barça was at its best at the Bernabéu when Frenkie De Jong came onto the field.
