Author of a very solid start to the season on the right side of FC Barcelona’s defense, Jules Koundé received praise from his coach Hansi Flick this Friday at a press conference.
He is the fashionable player at the start of the season in Catalonia. Jules Koundé (25 years old) marks the minds of FC Barcelona followers for his more consistent performances every day on the right side of the defense. A position where he settled in both club and selection by force of circumstances faced with the shortage in the sector. He, the central defender by trade, has become an essential reference.
Barça coach Hansi Flick has played all of Barça’s eight games this season. This Friday, the latter praised him at a press conference on the eve of the trip to Pamplona to face Osasuna on Saturday (9 p.m., 8th day of La Liga).
“After the match, he wants to train. Always. He takes great care of himself.”
“Tell him to rest,” said the German with a smile. “I’ve never had a player like that before. After the match he wants to train. Always. He takes great care of himself. It’s not normal. His attitude is not usual, but it’s is very good.”
Brilliant on the field, Koundé was also very active off it this week as he attended Paris Fashion Week. The French international (36 caps), keen on fashion, was present for the luxury jewelry show Messika, Thursday the day after Barça’s victory against Getafe (1-0). He appeared there with dark glasses, exposed chest and in a black outfit.
Having recently become an ambassador for Samsung, the former Bordeaux resident also posed in a promotional campaign for the French brand Jacquemus for which he appeared behind the wheel of a child’s cart, ironing with grass up to his knees. , and even with a t-shirt made only of… whipped cream.
