Hansi Flick Brings New Discipline Rules, Makes Barcelona Players Fear More

JAKARTA - Barcelona have been getting more solid since Hansi Flick arrived at the end of last season.

He brought the new system to Camp Nou, including the foundation for players. One of the important things Flick changed was the disciplinary system.

Flick changed Xavi Hernandez's disciplinary rules, Barcelona's previous manager, who has been around since 2021.

In fact, this new regulation makes players more afraid and demands to give the best for the team.

"Xavi, for example, will fine you 5,000 euros if you arrive late one day. If you arrive late the next day, the fine will double," said Pedri, Barcelona midfielder.

"Flick has lifted the fine. Now, if you come late, you don't play. For me, it's much worse not to play," said Pedri as reported by ESPN.

Flick's approach turned out to be a success. The players really gave everything for Barcelona.

In addition, they become much closer, compact, and play collectively.

The proof is that Barcelona are now leading the 2024/2025 La Liga standings with a nine-point advantage over its closest competitor, Real Madrid.

Azulgrana is also on track right in the Champions League. They are sixth in the standings with a collection of nine points from four matches and open up opportunities to the knockout stages.
