Hansi Flick has had a very successful first season as the head coach of Barcelona, but not everyone is happy with him in Catalonia. In particular, one of his own players has spoken out this week.
And that player is Pablo Torre, who was recently interviewed by Sport. The young midfielder gave his opinion about his 2024-25 season with Barcelona, where he knew much less than he had hoped.
“I think I could have played a lot more minutes, I think I deserved them. There was a lot of competition and it was hard to come in, but I think he was not honest for me on that part, and I told him that I had in a lecture with him.
“I think I was not out of place when I was on the field. These are things that the coach chooses, it is true that there were no injuries and so it is also very difficult for him to choose. I respect the decisions, but often I have not understood them.”
Nevertheless, Torre admitted that he was improved as a player during this period, with his teammates helping in this respect.
“It is true that I have not had all the minutes I would like, but in the end it was 3 years in teams of maximum competition and it was very difficult to come in. I think, if I have played, I have been very good, and I think I have earned much more in the whole years. Football is so, and I feel a much better football player.
Torre is no longer a contract in 2026 and at this stage it seems certain that he will leave Barcelona during this summer's transfer window. A move to the Bundesliga has been recommended in recent weeks, and this can enable him to see more action in the first team.
