Watch – Sevilla coach praises Hansi Flick after Barcelona’s 4-1 win | OneFootball

Hansi Flick’s time at FC Barcelona so far has gone very well, earning a lot of praise from rival managers.

The likes of Diego Simeone, Ernesto Valverde, Carlo Ancelotti, and more recently Pep Guardiola have all spoken very highly of the job that the German tactician has done so far with the Blaugrana while talking to the press.

However, rarely have the cameras and microphones captured such a direct, sincere, and spontaneous message from an opposing coach outside the press rooms of the stadiums. This happened on Sunday at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Garcia Pimienta congratulates Flick on win

Following Barcelona’s 4-1 win over Sevilla at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday, the Andalusian outfit’s manager Garcia Pimienta approached Hansi Flick for the traditional post-match farewell.

During this moment, he congratulated Flick on the victory with the following message: “The team is doing very well, I really like it,” as captured by DAZN cameras.

Pimienta, a former player and ex-coach of Barça’s youth and B teams, and always considered a potential candidate for the first team’s coaching position, recognises the good work being done by Flick.

The German tactician has brought a twist to traditional Barcelona football, without losing the essence of the club’s true style and essence.

As things stand, Barcelona are third in La Liga, only two points behind leaders Real Madrid while making it to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey and Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. The Blaugrana have also won the Spanish Super Cup.
