Hansi Flick’s keen focus on physical fitness has attracted attention and has been likened to the high standards established by Luis Enrique a decade ago.
Flick’s training program prioritizes dental care and timeliness.
As reported by Diario AS, Flick has communicated to the team that arriving even a minute late to training sessions or meetings is considered disrespectful to their teammates, although there are no financial penalties for tardiness.
An especially demanding aspect of Flick’s regimen is weight control.
Players must weigh in before and after each training session, and this information is meticulously documented and assessed by the team’s new fitness head, Julio Tous, to determine the optimal conditions for each player.
Players found to be outside their designated ‘ideal weight’ range are required to undergo corrective actions to ensure they return to the right track.
