Barcelona's manager Hansi Flick has reiterated the crucial need for punctuality, having benched defender Jules Kounde due to his late arrival before Monday's match against Rayo Vallecano. Kounde's failure to be on time has led to three benchings this season, although he contributed to a 1-0 victory. Flick stressed the importance of teamwork and respect for the club's rules, hinting that late arrivals will not be tolerated. Despite the disciplinary actions, Kounde remains a key player, potentially earning a new contract amidst transfer interest from Chelsea.
I want to talk to him. He arrived late and it's a clear club rule, and that's what happened today. It's out of respect for my players, the club and the fans.
Before a match I want everyone to know what they have to do on the pitch. Before matches we have two or three meetings. It's not too difficult to arrive early.
