'Palo' to Xavi? Joan Laporta, 'surrendered' by Flick's work at Barça: "He doesn't look for excuses"

Executives, fans, players... Everyone seems to be happy with the work of Hansi Flick as the coach of FC Barcelona. And rightfully so, as the German coach has not only achieved positive results in sports, with eight wins and two losses in his first 10 matches as the team's coach, but he has also managed to create a very cohesive sports project seemingly without any flaws. His style of play is recognizable, and there is an atmosphere of great camaraderie within the team.

Recently, Joan Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, has spoken about the work of Hansi Flick with the Blaugrana team. After attending the open day at the Johan Cruyff Foundation at the Municipal Sports Center of Mar Bella in Barcelona, the Barcelona leader spoke to the present media and made statements that some have considered 'spicy'.

In that regard, 'Jan' took the opportunity to praise the work of the German coach at the helm of Barcelona, expressing a message that many interpreted as a 'dig' at Xavi Hernández, the former coach of the team. "Flick doesn't make excuses, injuries are a challenge, but he is handling them very well. Some key players are recovering, and we are awaiting the return of De Jong, who played a few minutes, Fermín, Dani Olmo, Gavi," he added.

"The schedule requires us to have competitive and deep squads. I believe that incorporating players from the academy is yielding good results. Flick is doing an extraordinary job, he knew what he had and is managing it very well," he added.

Furthermore, Joan Laporta also wanted to explain why, in his opinion, the choice of the German coach has been so effective and has produced immediate results. "Our football director brought him, and the sports commission decided he had to be our coach. Deco already told me he had confidence that it would work well, that a new momentum had to be given. It was decided to be Hansi Flick, and Hansi knows that Barcelona's best periods are when we have many players from the squad. He is a student of Barcelona, passionate," he commented.

Ultimately, Laporta reiterated his complete satisfaction with Hansi Flick's work at FC Barcelona, highlighting his ability to adapt to a new culture and manage the team optimally. "For now, what we have to do is keep working, winning games, playing well, and we'll see. The fans always demand, and it's true that Barcelona is a reference team and a lot is expected of us," he warned.

"The atmosphere in the club, in the locker room. The work is going very well. I believe Flick has everything under control. All Barça fans are very happy with him. He is adapting, he can give much more. He had been studying Barcelona for a while, and you can see he is very excited; I really like how he conducts press conferences," he concluded.
