Flick, very tough on Balde: “He is not here at 100%”

Hansi Flick is making decisions with his call-ups and lineups, and the most surprising has been the exclusion of Alejandro Balde from Barcelona’s league debut at Elche’s stadium. Before the match, on Movistar’s microphones, the German coach was very harsh about the defender’s commitment. “He is not here 100%,” he reproached.

In the preview, the coach showed himself a bit disappointed with the left-back, whom he considers should be more motivated and want to evolve. “It matters if he is convinced to compete in his position,” he pressed him. And then this Sunday he left him at home, without traveling.

Conversation this morning

The coach was clear with the player this morning: “The best thing is for you to stay here, clear your mind, and tomorrow we talk again”

That said, Flick, according to what he himself revealed, was clear with the footballer and directly explained to Balde the reasons why he was left out. “It was discussed this morning with Alejandro. I told him: ‘You are not here 100%. The best thing is for you to stay here, clear your mind,'” he revealed about the conversation they had.
