""I think Hansi is the most demanding coach I've ever had in my career. But I love that, I love that kind of challenge and commitment," he told Movistar. "Hansi asks a lot of me in terms of dribbles and penetrations, and that's what I always try to do for the good of the team. "When I arrived, I wasn't in my best physical shape, and I admit it.""
""Yes, it was my best game since coming back. I took advantage of the opportunity when the manager put me in. I felt like I was training really well. Then everything came together in the game," he added."
João Cancelo returned to Barcelona on loan in January and initially lacked full match fitness compared with teammates. He describes Hansi Flick as the most demanding coach he has worked with and embraces the tactical demand for dribbles and penetrations. Cancelo identified a recent match as his best since returning, saying training translated into performance after taking the manager's opportunity. He replaced Alejandro Balde at left-back and provided his first assist since returning, setting up Frenkie de Jong. He stressed the importance of three points, responding after two poor results and preparing for Villarreal.
