Jules Kounde asks Barcelona's security for help to avoid lateness at training - reports
Jules Kounde has reportedly taken steps to avoid further discipline issues with head coach Hansi Flick. According to Mundo Deportivo, Kounde has asked the club’s security staff to give him a 15-minute warning before tactical talks begin on matchdays.
The Frenchman wants to ensure he is punctual and avoids missing out on starting opportunities.
Kounde has already been punished for lateness this season. Despite being a key player in Barcelona’s defence, the German coach is known for his strict approach. Flick has made it clear that even important players will be benched if they do not follow his rules.
Kounde has already missed out on starting places three times this season due to arriving late for briefings.
After his previous mistakes, Kounde has decided to take responsibility. He asked the security staff for a reminder to make sure he arrives on time. This small change seems to be working, with the defender now making the effort to avoid being late.
