Hansi Flick is highly valued among FC Barcelona fans for all the feats he has achieved both on and off the field. The coach has a background, experience, and personality that stand out in the world of soccer. Cases like Raphinha or Frenkie de Jong are noteworthy for the level of commitment the German coach has managed to draw out.
Both footballers seemed to be written off, but thanks to Hansi Flick's patience, they have been able to stand out again and enjoy their game. Today, the Dutchman and the Brazilian lead FC Barcelona's successes. However, not everyone has been able or known how to take advantage of Flick's lessons.
Hansi Flick's protégé leaves for the Bundesliga without making his debut
Hansi Flick has a group of protégés whom he looks after more than the rest. Lamine and Cubarsí are his protégés in the first team because of their youth and quality. Meanwhile, at La Masia, Flick keeps long conversations with his compatriot Noah Darvich.
The 18-year-old German player signed for FC Barcelona a couple of seasons ago, but he still hasn't made his official debut with the first team. Hansi Flick has included him in several squads, but despite his fondness for the young German, Noah Darvich hasn't had any minutes. This situation could lead to his departure this summer, since there are two teams in the Bundesliga very interested in signing him.
Noah Darvich: I love you a lot, puppy, but only a little bread
It was well known that Noah Darvich is very dear to Hansi Flick, with whom he keeps long conversations after training sessions. However, it is precisely the coach who hasn't let him debut with the first team and that has caused the playmaker's frustration. It is true that he was included in preseason, but once the real action started, he disappeared from his plans.
After so many months in this situation, Noah Darvich is preparing to leave the club. Everything indicates that he will return to Germany, where Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are fighting to sign the Barça Atlètic star.
Noah Darvich is valued at 2 million euros and this season he has played a total of 46 matches. He has played almost 1,500 min. (1,500 minutos) in which he has scored one goal and provided four assists. These numbers confirm Hansi Flick's decision: he can give more and that's why he hasn't debuted and won't debut with the senior team yet.
