Several German sports media outlets have published praise for Barcelona coach Hansi Flick’s great start to life in La Liga. This weekend’s 7-0 win over Real Valladolid drew praise from Teutonic journalists, who even compared the start of his time in Barcelona to his time at Bayern Munich when he won the sextuple.

The German media have given a very positive assessment of the work carried out at the start of the season by Barcelona’s German coach Hansi Flick, who they consider to be ‘the best signing’ of the Azulgrana team.

This is how the sports magazine ‘Kicker’ describes him, which says that, ‘after his appointment’, ‘the former Germany coach deliberately stayed out of the spotlight and was able to work intensively with his team in the “shadow” and analyse the squad and La Masia’, from which he has already promoted players like Marc Bernal, who was seriously injured in Vallecas, Gerard Martin and Marc Casado.

The newspaper highlights that Flick’s ‘approach’ ‘has been showing results since the start of the season’, in which he has four wins in four games and points out that ‘Madrid’s big rivals are under pressure’. One of the most widely read newspapers in Germany, ‘Bild’, headlines that the debut has been ‘a dream start for Barca’s new coach’ and reflects that ‘Flick is the first coach since Ernesto Valverde to take 12 points from the first four La Liga games’.

The newspaper claims that ‘Hansi Flick’s team is at the top of the table after four games’ and notes that ‘the start is a little reminiscent of the brilliant Bayern’ that the coach led and with which he won all the titles. Meanwhile, the TV channel ‘NTV’ stresses, on its website, that ‘Barcelona have been in excellent form since the beginning with Hansi Flick’ and that ‘the new coach seems to have given the Azulgranas a great deal of joy’.
