The young FC Barcelona defender, Pau Cubarsí, has shared his views on the coaching philosophies that have shaped his career so far, highlighting the similarities between Xavi Hernández, the coach who gave him his debut, and Hansi Flick, his current coach in the first team.

Cubarsí explained that, although both coaches have slightly different approaches, he believes that Xavi and Flick share a "similar philosophy" when it comes to understanding football. The defender said, "Xavi, because of the legend he is and being DNA Barça, taught us how to play and brought us back to the club's philosophy. 

And Hansi also has a bit of this philosophy, although he wants us to focus more on getting the job done." According to the young center-back, both coaches emphasize the style of play that promotes training and discipline on the field, but Flick also seeks more pragmatism in his approach, which is reflected in how the team develops under his leadership.

Early challenges and adaptation

Cubarsí, who has played 53 games in his first professional year, mentioned the demands of the first team and the difference from youth football. Despite the difficulties, he praised La Masía's training and highlighted the support of his academy teammates. He also mentioned Lamine Yamal as a great talent, whom he has known since childhood. Special moments and goals

Among his standout achievements are the Spanish Super Cup and his debut in the Champions League against Napoli, where he was named best player. Cubarsí expressed his dream of winning the Champions League and continuing to grow as a player. Finally, he sent a message of confidence to the fans, assuring that "there's still a lot of league left" to fight for the title.
