Hansi Flick sends message to Barcelona youngster | OneFootball

Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick recently sent a message to an up-and-coming member of his midfield ranks, preaching patience.

That’s according to Diario Sport, who point towards Marc Bernal as the player in question.

Youngster Bernal, for his part, is of course in the final stages of his recovery from a long-term spell on the sidelines.

After being struck down by an ACL tear in August of 2024, the 18-year-old has spent the year since working tirelessly towards a comeback.

Bernal has actually been back training with his teammates for some time now, understandably eager to mark his return to competitive action.

To the point that the gifted Spaniard, it is understood, requested to play his part in the Joan Gamper Trophy match earlier this month.

Hansi Flick, though, made use of this plea to send a clear message to Bernal regarding his place in his plans.

As per a report from Sport, the German explained:

“I want you for 15 years, not for a friendly.”
