What will Hansi Flick bring to Barcelona?

It is also no longer a secret that Hansi Flick has been handpicked by Joan Laporta to lead the club forward and despite the pessimism that may have set in due to the bitter taste left by Xavi’s departure, it is worth taking a look at what the German coach brings to the table.
