Hansi Flick, very influenced by his father Hans
Hans Flick, the father of the current Blaugrana coach, played football in secret during his youth, against the wishes of his mother. Unable to break into this sport, he became a mason, while continuing to evolve as an amateur.
His son Hansi shined his shoes and watched his matches with rapt attention. He played a leading role in the career of his offspring. In particular by convincing the doctors not to operate on his hip after an accident, or by encouraging him to continue playing even with his leg bandaged.
