Hansi Flick, the head coach of the Spanish football club "Barcelona", is known for his work methods, disciplinary requirements, and attention to detail, and he strictly controls the maximum professional execution of every process in the team.
Idman.Biz reports that the "Sport" publication wrote that the German specialist has been paying attention to the development trajectory of young football players of La Masia, especially since the day he arrived in "Barcelona". The most obvious example of this is the participation of 20-30 La Masia players of different age groups in the first team's training sessions in recent months.
Flick not only gives 16, 17 and 18-year-old football players the opportunity to work with a big team, but also personally follows their profiles and wants to see them in a real situation on the field. Flick has been specifically monitoring La Masia football players who have been in contact with the first team for a certain period of time for one and a half seasons. For this reason, these players do not escape the coach's attention even when they return to the second team. After returning to "Barcelona Atletic" last season, Sergi Dominguez was invited again by Flick several times. The same approach is currently being shown to the injured Xavi Espart, as well as Toni and Giley.
The club has been paying more attention to this process recently. Because the rise and consolidation of players such as Pau Kubarsi, Lamin Yamal and Bernal in the first team at the age of 16-17 can create a risky precedent for parents, agents and football players alike. Because it is an extraordinary event to consolidate in a club like "Barcelona" at this age, and the development path of each talent consists of certain stages. Players sometimes train with the first team, even debut, and then have to return to the youth team - this is a natural part of the process.
