"“I know my old friend Joan Laporta very well , and I also know how difficult the environment in Barcelona can be. Shortly after Hansi arrived, I ran into Laporta by chance and told him: 'You have to promise me that you'll be Hansi's best friend. And that you'll always support him to the fullest!' Hansi needs that trust to succeed. And I'm very happy that it has been that way,” he told Bild."
"“Winning the title twice ahead of Real Madrid and, moreover, significantly rejuvenating the team, is a great achievement. I'll say it now: Hansi will also win the Champions League with this team, if he stays there long enough.”"
"“I am delighted that he has achieved it, because he deserves this success. Hansi has that exceptional quality of working brilliantly with his team and building great trust-based relationships with the players,” he added."
"“The players would have given their lives for their coach, and Hansi embodies that value as much as Vincent Kompany. They are very relevant figures for the success of their teams.”"
Hansi Flick has won two La Liga titles in his first two seasons with Barcelona, along with two Spanish Super Cups and the Copa del Rey. Karl-Heinze Rummenigge believes Flick can also win the Champions League with the Catalans if he remains long enough. Rummenigge describes the Barcelona environment as difficult and says he urged Joan Laporta to support Flick fully, emphasizing the need for trust to succeed. He credits Flick’s working methods for building trust-based relationships with players, noting that players would give everything for their coach. Barcelona have reached Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals under Flick and will aim to go further next season in Europe.
