Flick’s Faith in Kounde Remains Unshaken Despite Defender’s Costly Error

Barcelona suffered a late collapse in their 2-2 draw against Celta Vigo yesterday. Despite leading by two goals, the Blaugrana conceded twice in the final moments, losing a valuable opportunity to secure three points.

One of the goals came after a glaring mistake by defender Jules Kounde. Following the match, teammate Gavi openly criticized Kounde, calling the error “stupid.”

However, according to Sport, the blunder has not impacted Hansi Flick’s confidence in Kounde.

Details: Flick refrained from blaming any single player during his post-match comments to the media, emphasizing the collective responsibility of the team. “We’re a team, and when we lose, we lose together,” Flick stated.

The report further suggests that Flick continues to see Kounde as an indispensable part of the squad and remains very pleased with the French defender’s overall performances.

Reminder: After 14 rounds in La Liga, Barcelona leads the table, sitting five points ahead of Atletico Madrid.
