Stringing together performances, the French international (26 years old) has established himself as an indisputable starter under the Hansi Flick era. His contribution to the Barcelona team is undeniable. However, one aspect of his behavior off the field has recently attracted attention.

In addition, one of the most notable performances was in the Champions League against Red Star Belgrade. During this match, the French international delivered 3 decisive passes. However, his progress was marred by behavior considered worrying off the field. Sports World evoked a recurring problem of punctuality on the part of Koundé.
A concern for punctuality and sporting sanctions
Hani Flick, Barça's German coach, is renowned for his high standards of discipline. After issuing an initial reprimand to Koundé during pre-season for a delay, the problem resurfaced several times. The former Bordeaux player, who is usually impeccable on the pitch, was sanctioned twice before important matches. These incidents took place before matches against Alavés (3-0) et Espanyol Barcelona (3-1). During these two meetings where Koundé had to be content with a sideline.
The player will undoubtedly have to be more vigilant on this aspect in order to maintain the confidence of his coach. Once this issue is resolved, he should regain his place in Flick's team and continue to perform for FC Barcelona.
