Although things seem rosy inside Barcelona, and the stars do not stop talking positively about coach Hansi Flick and vice versa, some crises have begun to appear.
This is what the newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” reported, which indicated that the German coach is very angry with one of the most important stars of Barça this season.
Jules Kounde angers Flick due to lack of commitment
According to the report, this star is Jules Kounde, despite the distinguished condition the player is experiencing and how he has become one of the best right-wingers in the world with Flick.
Flick suffers with Kounde in one matter, which is not technical, but disciplinary, which is that the player does not adhere to appointments, which angers the strict German in this regard.
Flick reprimanded and punished Kounde 3 times due to appointments
Because of his strictness, Flick reprimanded and punished Kounde 3 times this season due to his being late for training or meetings before the match.
The first was during the pre-season, when Kounde left late for a team training session, falling behind the rest of the players and the coaching staff.
The third time came before the Espanyol game for the same reason, and Flick immediately decided to push Hector Fort into the right-back position and keep Kounde on the bench again.
German discipline is next level.

What has Kounde done for Barcelona this season?
The 26-year-old Kounde is one of Barcelona’s most capped players this season in all competitions.
The Frenchman has played 17 games between La Liga and the Champions League, scoring one goal against Valladolid and making four assists, three of which were for the ‘Big Ears’.
