Spanish media reveal why Barcelona coach Hansi Flick made a last-minute change to the starting lineup before the match against Alaves.

Barcelona coach Hansi Flick recently praised the incredible work ethic of defender Jules Kounde during a press conference, emphasizing that Kounde’s attitude in training and dedication make him a role model for many.

However, before the last league match against Alaves, Flick showed that even such diligence can’t excuse breaking the discipline rules. For Flick, it’s a given that all players must attend team meetings on time.

Kounde was late for the pre-match meeting, and according to Sport, this cost him his place in the starting eleven. Flick benched the Frenchman and instead entrusted the right-back position to young Hector Fort.

Barcelona didn’t miss Kounde, as they secured a comfortable 3-0 victory away, thanks to a hat-trick from Robert Lewandowski.
