Hansi Flick, the manager of Barcelona, recently addressed tensions with Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti after making comments perceived as a slight. Following an incident regarding match scheduling, where Barcelona's quick turnaround led to an injury, Flick asserted pride in being Barcelona's coach and acknowledged respect for Ancelotti. During a press conference, he stressed the importance of unity within the club. Despite prior banter, Flick's efforts aim to maintain a cordial relationship amid their competitive history, highlighting a focus on collaboration within the club's community context.
I enjoy being Barca's coach. I respect Real Madrid, of course, and also Carlo Ancelotti, one of the most successful coaches there is and a wonderful person.
The only thing I said is that we are Barca, and I'm very happy with that, with La Masia. I feel like I'm part of a family.
Real Madrid has endured their own difficulties when it comes to La Liga's match calendar and Ancelotti has rarely passed up a chance to take aim at those in power.
We are Barca, not Real Madrid. And I'm very proud of being Barca.
