[Saba Sports News] According to Spanish media reports, Barcelona head coach Hans-Dieter Flick has decorated the team’s dressing room with motivational quotes to enhance the players’ competitive spirit and team cohesion. Flick is a meticulous coach, and he and his coaching staff strive for attention to detail, from tactical arrangements to attacking and defensive set-piece training, from physical preparation to collective and individual analysis of opponents, from injury prevention to diet management, from player comfort to travel quality, and even psychological construction and morale boosting. Recently, the Barcelona head coach issued an order requiring the club to renovate the first-team training base dressing room, adorning the walls with motivational quotes from sports legends like Michael Jordan to strengthen the team’s competitive spirit, strict standards, and team spirit. It is reported that these slogans, presented in screen-printed stickers, are mostly in English, aimed at internalizing these spirit mantras that the coaching staff believes will enhance the team’s resilience and competitiveness. It remains to be seen how Barcelona fans feel about this.
