Barcelona star Jules Koundé has left head coach Hansi Flick frustrated on a number of occasions across the season to date.
That’s according to Mundo Deportivo, who have this weekend provided an insight into ongoings behind the scenes in Catalunya’s capital.
Koundé, for his part, has of course enjoyed a superb campaign to date.
Continuing to grow into his role at full-back, the Frenchman has shone on both sides of the ball, with his attacking output – one goal and four assists – having drawn widespread praise.
In turn, it may come as something of a surprise to hear that Koundé, on more than one occasion since his arrival, has ‘irritated’ new headmaster Hansi Flick.
As per MD:
‘There is one aspect in which Koundé is failing this season: punctuality, something that irritates Hansi Flick and that has already earned him at least three reprimands from his coach.’
Considered a lack of respect on the part of Barca’s boss, Koundé’s lateness has already culminated in the former Sevilla man being dropped from the Blaugrana’s XI for two separate fixtures, against Deportivo Alavés and Espanyol.
