Barcelona and Spain defender Pau Cubarsí, 19, has spoken about the language barrier with the team’s head coach, Hansi Flick. He said some players do not always understand the German coach.
“When he gets angry, he speaks German or English. When he is calm, he sometimes says a word or two in Spanish. We don’t understand him, but his tone of voice makes everything clear,” Foot Mercato quoted Cubarsí as saying in a post on social media platform X.
Flick, 61, has led Barcelona since 2024. During his tenure, the Catalan club has won the Spanish league twice, as well as the Spanish Cup and Spanish Super Cup twice each.
Cubarsí has made 13 appearances in all competitions this season and provided two assists.
