‘He’s a student of Barcelona’ - Joan Laporta says Hansi Flick doing an ‘extraordinary job’

Joan Laporta has showered praise on Hansi Flick and says the new Barcelona boss is doing an “extraordinary job” at the club.

Flick has certainly got his team off to a strong start. The Catalans currently top La Liga and enjoyed a 5-0 win over Young Boys in the Champions League in midweek.

The German’s team have also been fun to watch, meaning Laporta is a happy man at the moment.

“Flick is not looking for excuses, injuries are an inconvenience but he is overcoming it very well. Some important players are recovering and we are waiting for the return of De Jong, who has already played a few minutes, Fermín, Dani Olmo, Gavi,” he told reporters.
