Barcelona’s position on Hansi Flick amid recent turmoil: report

Recent reports from SPORT suggest that the Barcelona board remains firmly behind Hansi Flick, even during this challenging period for the club.

It is said that despite the setbacks, including the recent defeat to Atlético Madrid, the management believes that these are temporary obstacles that can be addressed.

Barcelona’s current situation is worrying, as the team ends the year with its fifth defeat, equaling the total number of defeats from the previous season. To make matters worse, the Blaugrana have lost their place at the top of the table.

Laporta is not happy

Club president Joan Laporta was visibly upset after the recent loss to Atlético Madrid, although his frustration seemed more about the result than the team’s overall performance.

Despite this, the board’s confidence in Flick remains unwavering. They view the current dip in form as a minor setback, and are confident the team will bounce back strongly in January, when major titles will be on the line.

Laporta had placed a lot of trust in Flick, since the German was seen as the right option to improve the team’s physical and tactical approach.

While the team initially showed promise under Flick, recent results have been disappointing.

Although the defeat was deemed undeserved, it left Barcelona trailing in the league standings and facing increased pressure as the new year approaches.

The board’s assessment of Flick’s mandate so far remains positive. They believe that both individual and collective performance within the team has improved, creating a more competitive Barcelona.

However, they recognize an obvious problem: the lack of a clinical striker who can make the difference in close games.

Barcelona management sees this as a long-term project, understanding that the team is still under construction. Despite recent setbacks, there is optimism within the club that the situation will improve.

Upcoming matches, including the Copa del Rey clash against Barbastro and the Super Cup in Saudi Arabia, are seen as opportunities to regain momentum.

Flick is calm

Flick himself does not seem overly concerned about the recent run of poor results, although he has expressed frustration at the team’s inconsistency, particularly at home.

In January he can implement changes, but he has not requested reinforcements and remains confident that the current group of players is capable of achieving success.

The next few weeks will be crucial in shaping Barcelona’s season. For now, the board’s faith in Flick remains unwavering and, barring a significant slowdown in January, its position is secure.
