Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick explained why he did not include Jules Koundé in the starting lineup for the match of the 24th round of the Spanish championship against Rayo Vallecano.
Jules Koundé“Before the match, it is important for me that everyone knows their tasks on the field. We usually hold two or three meetings before games, so arriving a bit earlier should not be a problem. I plan to discuss this with Koundé. He arrived later, and we have clear rules. I decided to leave him on the bench out of respect for the players, the club, and our fans,” Flick's words are quoted by AS.
