Hansi Flick’s thoughtful gesture towards journalist ahead of Osasuna vs Barcelona | OneFootball

Since taking over from Xavi, Hansi Flick has brought about a quiet revolution at Barcelona, both mentally and physically.

His team’s disciplined approach on the field has been paired with a level-headedness off it. Flick’s leadership style has not only led to victories but has also reshaped the club’s identity.

While his professional touch has been lauded, it’s his personal gestures that have won over fans, players, and even the media.

A ‘sweet’ gesture with a journalist

At a press conference before Barcelona’s match against Getafe, Flick had a coughing fit and had to pause the event several times, reports Diario SPORT.

Amid the disruption, TV3 journalist Xavi Lemus stepped in, offering the German coach a sweet to relieve his throat.

Flick accepted the thoughtful gesture, allowing the press conference to proceed smoothly. Three days later, ahead of Barça’s clash with Osasuna, Flick returned the favour, gifting Lemus a candy in a show of gratitude before his press conference started.

This brief exchange reflected Flick’s attentiveness, which has been taken quite well in the Barcelona dressing room, as well as in the management and press alike.

Flick’s impact in the dressing room

As per the report, Flick has quickly won over the Barcelona dressing room with his approachable and caring attitude.

Whether it’s showing support for injured players like Marc Bernal or taking his technical staff out to lunch, Flick’s gestures have solidified his position as a coach who goes beyond tactics.

His open and attentive personality has bridged the language barrier, creating a harmonious environment in Barcelona. And this has been reflected in the way the club is performing right now.

Although unfortunate incidents such as the recent banner used against AS Monaco do serve as a distraction, Flick remains steadfast in his bid to transform Barcelona, not only through his tactics but also through his professionalism.
