Barcelona, Spain – Hansi Flick don land himself inside wahala after him hot red card against Girona on Saturday. The 60-year-old manager show say him get fire for the club as he clap sarcastically for fourth official when dem show four minutes stoppage time. Ehn! As if that one no enough, when Ronald Araujo score the late winner, Hansi join fans celebrate die but na so dem dash am second yellow card for obscene gesture.
“I no wan make my grandchildren see me like dis for TV. E no make sense!” Flick talk. The man dey reflect on wetin happen and him don know say him gatz cool down for next time. Him yan, “I sabi say I gatz change my way. I love this club and I’m giving my all!” (Talk true, sometimes na game wey dey shake body like that wey we dey see emotion like this).
Before Barcelona face Olympiacos for Champions League on Tuesday, Flick don explain as him dey feel for di club wey him don manage since May 2024. Before this time, as Bayern Munich coach, him fit remember when dem score eight goals against Barcelona in 2020. “People talk say I no dey smile when I dey coach Bayern. Na now I dey show emotion because Barcelona don change me!” Him still dey feel am for inside, case wey e on top referee matter no make sense too.
We sabi say di red card go ban Flick from di bench when Barcelona meet Real Madrid for El Clasico on Sunday. Dis match go hot as Barcelona dey try appeal di red card. Barca president Joan Laporta don shout say some ‘white hand’ dey behind di referee decision wey no favour dem – meaning say e dey suspect Real Madrid get power for di matter (ahhhh, typical football drama!).
Flick no wan dive into di referee bias matter, him just bin talk say, “I no get wahala with di referee, na him side him see am. Wetin I go fit talk, I go just accept am.” I mean, who want drama in refereeing decision? Even if e pain well well! Side gist, di man still gatz plan as several players no fit play because dem dey recover from injury including Robert Lewandowski, Dani Olmo, Gavi, and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. But we dey hope Raphinha and Ferran Torres go fit join am for di Clasico. As we know, na game wey dey full of jollof, e go sweet!
