The player who impressed Flick the most among Barcelona’s signings this summer : Anthony Gordon
Journalist Alex Benatil revealed that Hansi Flick’s favorite signing from Barcelona this summer is English winger Anthony Gordon, the club’s first acquisition of the current transfer window.
The journalist stated that Flick and his coaching staff are very impressed with Gordon. He possesses tremendous physical strength and arrived in excellent physical condition, exceeding expectations. This allowed him to immediately engage in rigorous training without requiring lengthy rehabilitation periods. He has also adapted exceptionally well to the team’s working methods and his new teammates.
One of the main reasons Flick specifically signed Gordon (for a fee of around €80 million) is his impressive statistics in pressing and ball recovery. This aligns perfectly with the German coach’s preferred style of play, where the English player contributes effectively defensively as soon as possession is lost.
