Barcelona\u2019s 2-2 draw with Celta Vigo left a strong impact in the locker room, with coach Hansi Flick visibly frustrated by the performance and behavior of several players. The German coach expressed anger over the mistakes made and the lack of commitment, which ultimately hurt the team at the Bala\u00eddos stadium.<\/p>\n
According to El Nacional, Gerard Mart\u00edn, who played left-back due to Alejandro Balde\u2019s injury, was the first player to face Flick\u2019s harsh criticism. Mart\u00edn struggled defensively, leaving gaps on the left side that allowed Celta\u2019s wingers to exploit. Flick had already questioned Mart\u00edn\u2019s contributions before the match, and his poor performance has effectively relegated him to the bench for the future, with limited or no chances to play.<\/p>\n
Frenkie de Jong\u2019s situation was more sensitive. The Dutch midfielder, who came on as a substitute with Barcelona leading 2-0, failed to make a positive impact. Sources close to the team indicate that Flick was disappointed by de Jong\u2019s lack of effort. Their relationship has soured in recent weeks due to the midfielder\u2019s underperformance, and Flick now believes de Jong isn\u2019t fully committed to the project. As a result, de Jong will lose his starting position in future matches and must work hard to earn back the coach\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n
Flick\u2019s stance is clear: performance and dedication come before reputation. While players like Gavi and Marc Casado consistently give their all, others are falling short of expectations. Flick will not tolerate complacency, and with the winter transfer window approaching, sporting director Deco is expected to explore strengthening areas where the coach feels uncertain, particularly left-back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
