Hansi Flick arrived at Barça thanks to the personal commitment of Deco and Laporta, who requested him from the very beginning. Xavi Hernández's departure paved the way for the German to join the Catalan team to correct the mistakes. In addition, the fans always supported him and showed him that he had the backing of everyone around the club.
Barça finished a very good season and this year they want it to be even better; the Champions League is still missing. Hansi Flick has had to deal with a complicated situation, but he has managed to solve it in the best possible way. Although some footballers have gained points, others have lost them; one of them wants to stay at all costs despite having no prominence.
Hansi Flick's Barça
Hansi Flick has survived the club's financial problems until little by little everything has started to get better. The German has had to make do with the players who were available at all times. Fortunately, the vast majority of them have been up to the task and the academy players have played a key role.
Some of them have appeared out of nowhere and have become world stars while others have lost their status in the team. One of them is Andreas Christensen, who went from being a starter on many occasions under Xavi to hardly playing at all. Now, the Dane has spoken to the press and has made his position regarding his future at the club very clear.
"In the summer I made it clear to the club that I didn't want to leave. I wanted to come back well. Last year was difficult for me. I came back a little earlier in the preseason to be ready. I hope to stay and I think it depends on my performance. I want to stay here, that's the plan I have."
Andreas Christensen's future
Andreas Christensen is a great footballer and he has shown on many occasions that he is at the level of a club like Barça. Unfortunately for him, injuries haven't respected him lately. The Dane faces a great challenge: getting minutes in a team with as much competition as Barça.
Hansi Flick will have to make decisions, but everything suggests that Andreas Christensen won't be one of his chosen ones. Although nothing can ever be taken for granted, it's very likely that Andreas won't manage to secure a starting spot in any way.
