Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has shared a reflection on his journey so far, as the Laliga enters its homestretch.
In a detailed interview with Barça One, Flick opened up about his experiences within the dressing room, his methods, and his observations. 
Flick said that one of the first things he noticed about his squad was the incredible talent and youthful energy of the players. He was especially impressed by their relentless drive and hunger for success. He also shared that his approach to communication with the players varies depending on the situation. 
"Sometimes we talk to one player and sometimes to the whole team. It depends on what our objective is. I also like that, now, the players have the confidence to come and talk to us,” Flick said.
According to him however, what stands out is the open dialogue he now has with the players. He noted that the team has developed a strong level of trust, where players feel confident to approach him and his coaching staff.
Since his arrival, training sessions have become a vital part of Flick’s approach. The German coach places great importance on discipline, with punctuality and consistency being non-negotiable. The players are constantly challenged to bring their best to every session, and Flick has noticed that they thrive on competition and he believes that competition is integral to a footballer’s development and overall success. 
For Flick, the spirit of competition is not just a philosophy but a necessity for achieving greatness at Barcelona.
“They love to compete with each other and that’s great. His whole life is a competition. It’s part of being a footballer, and I like to see this. They must also offer their quality to the team and that’s what helps us win games," he added.
Despite being placed third in the Laliga table, Flick has already won the Super Cup and recorded brilliant results as Barcelona’s manager.
