Report – The advice Barcelona gave Hansi Flick about Real Madrid boss Mourinho Currently in his third season at FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick has handled the media in an exceptional manner. Throughout his stint at the club, where media frenzy is a norm, Flick has shown the experience and composure to avoid unnecessary controversy, particularly in press conferences, where his message is usually straightforward and focused on the opponent in front of him. Barcelona’s advice about Mourinho Even so, SPORT’s David Bernabeu reports that Barcelona felt it was worth giving Flick some advice about a situation he had not experienced first-hand and one in which they wanted him to remain particularly cautious – Jose Mourinho. Indeed, the journalist has now revealed that the Barça hierarchy gave a key piece of advice to their manager after Mourinho’s return to the Real Madrid dugout was confirmed this summer. Barcelona explained to Flick what had happened during Mourinho’s first spell at Real Madrid and the controversies that surrounded it. Mourinho is back at Real Madrid.

The club reminded Flick of Mourinho’s infamous confrontation with the late Tito Vilanova, including the incident in which he poked his finger into Vilanova’s eye, as well as the intense pressure Pep Guardiola faced during that period. As such, the message from the club to Flick about his Real Madrid counterpart was unequivocal: “Not a word about Mourinho or Real Madrid.” Flick has followed the advice Since returning to Real Madrid, Mourinho has already spoken about Barcelona , in particular the Negreira case, while he has also praised the work done by Flick and Deco.. However, the German head coach has followed the club’s instruction closely, and there is little reason to expect his approach to change. Before Barcelona’s opening league fixture against Elche when Flick was asked about Real Madrid and Mourinho’s arrival, his response was direct. No love lost between Mourinho and Barcelona.

Questions about the rivalry will be unavoidable, particularly given Mourinho’s history with Barcelona. Even then, however, Flick is expected to choose his words carefully. The objective is not to give Mourinho anything that could be used to create a new confrontation between the two clubs. For now, Flick appears happy to follow Barcelona’s advice and keep his attention firmly on football rather than getting involved in Mourinho’s battles.
