Hi community!
Hansi Flick, once again relentless with punctuality.
Hansi Flick is betting on his star eleven this afternoon in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup against Athletic, but there is a big surprise: the presence of Szczesny between the sticks. As everything indicated, Iñaki Peña, the undisputed starter, is not there defending the Barça goal. The German coach changed his mind, not because of his performance but because he arrived late to the activation session. With issues related to the clock and discipline, the former German coach is inflexible and always takes its toll: with the substitution.

Peña made a mistake this morning with the time of the usual morning training session that the team carries out on match days, which he did at the hotel in Arabia. That error, according to the Cope channel, made him arrive late to the activation session, and Flick is implacable with this type of situation. The German coach considers tardiness a great lack of respect, for the rest of the group. He is very rigorous. The Alicante goalkeeper immediately explained to the coach that he had made a mistake with the time and that he had fallen asleep. Flick understood and accepted the excuse of his first choice goalkeeper, but that did not stop him from taking his toll on the goalkeeper. With discipline, the coach does not allow for relaxation.
Iñaki Peña is not the first player to arrive late to a session and then be left on the bench: it already happened to Jules Koundé. The coach has no problem in sitting his men down, whatever their name, if there is any act that he considers does not conform to the discipline and the basic and strict rules of coexistence that he made clear when he arrived at Barcelona.
See You soon!
