Hansi Flick was full of praise for José Mourinho. Asked about the Portuguese technician at a press conference this Saturday before the Clásico this Sunday, the FC Barcelona coach was keen to salute his immense career and his record. “ I have a lot of respect for him. When you coach for so many years and achieve so much success, it’s proof of great talent. When I was (Joachim) Löw’s deputy, I met him in Madrid “, said the German.
But beyond the trophies won by the Special One, Hansi Flick especially insisted on the esteem in which the Portuguese enjoys among his former players. “ All the players who played under him speak of him with great respect. He is a colleague, a very successful man », added the Blaugrana coach. A strong tribute from the Barcelona technician to an emblematic figure of the Madrid bench, despite the historic rivalry between the two Spanish clubs.
