Hansi Flick 's overreaction in the last few minutes of the Barca 2-1 Girona match in round 9 of La Liga, with 2 consecutive yellow cards, caused great harm to the Catalan team: he was banned from coaching in the big match with Real Madrid, taking place next weekend (October 26).
In the match between Barca and Girona, when the clock had entered injury time and the score was still 1-1, the German captain received a yellow card from referee Gil Manzano after complaining.
Not stopping there, coach Hansi Flick reacted more strongly and as a result he received a second yellow card - a red card, and was sent off the field.
There was a bit of 'salvation' for this hot-tempered coach when, 2 minutes later, Ronald Araujo stepped up to play as an attacking midfielder, scoring a valuable goal that brought victory to Barca.
Hansi Flick then tried to stay and celebrate his student's goal. After the match, he said: " Araujo told me he would play as a striker. I am very happy for him for doing a great job .
I don’t remember ever playing a defender as a striker before. We tried everything and it worked out in the end. I think this will be a step forward .”
The 60-year-old coach explained his anger that led to his expulsion: “ I did not intend to criticize the referee. I clapped to encourage my team. De Jong was there and I told him to play more aggressively.
I tried to talk to referee Gil Manzano but he didn't want to. Maybe the red card helped Barca win. My celebration wasn't aimed at anyone. I was just celebrating Araujo's goal ."
The Barca captain added: “It was a difficult game. The last-minute victory gives Barca confidence. We need to improve many things. The team did not press as well as last season. Barca lacked pressure on the ball, lacked the dynamism in defense and attack that they had .”
